MBA programmes go global

Not so long ago, business schools boasted that their MBAs were international. Today that is no longer enough, they now need to be global

‘Globalisation is changing business education just as surely as it has changed international business,’ comments Paul Danos, Dean of the Tuck School of Business in New England.

Among the factors driving the changes are a more mobile student population, demand from employers for leaders who can operate anywhere in the world and the emergence of the new economic power-houses of Brazil, Russia, India and China. Structural changes, such as the Bologna Accord that seeks to harmonise masters degrees across Europe, are also encouraging the global trend.

Global MBAs currently come in four basic models:

  • joint degree programmes with partner business schools around the world
  • multi-campus MBAs
  • where the business school sees itself as a global hub
  • the virtual model that taps into the online world.
