You know the abbreviation. Now find out what goes into earning and leveraging an MBA.

One question that I get a lot from friends and colleagues is, “Do I need an MBA?” to which I often answer, “For what?” “If you want career progression, you don’t need an MBA -- you need a Master’s in Political Science,” I would say, half-jokingly. Getting an MBA requires a lot of time, money, and energy. Take it from me, I have one, before doing another master’s, and now in the midst of completing a doctorate. Which also makes me the last person to tell you not to do an MBA. The reason I am going in circles is because the answer to that question is deeply unique from one person to another. It heavily depends on why you want an MBA in the first place. If you couldn’t find a reason yet, here are three... 1. An MBA experience shapes the way you think One value I gained from my MBA journey is in the way I solve problems and make decisions. This doesn’t make me the best problem solver or decision maker in the world -- far from it. (You can ask my kids.) But learning new stuff helped me in seeing the bigger picture and assessing every situation from more angles. The generic MBA programme is usually made up of six core subjects: three quantitative papers (finance, accounting, economics) and three qualitative papers (organisational behaviour, marketing, leadership). I don't do too well with numbers but stepping out of my comfort zone helped me stretch my thinking; not that I had much to stretch. 2. It builds self-confidence An MBA involves a lot of group work and presentations. Half the time, this involves topics you are not familiar with. A case study discussion, for example, requires you to provide commentary on a 20-page case that you read the night before (if not on the way to class). These moments require you to think on your feet, which is a skill that is highly transferable to the workplace. Over time, an MBA helps you build the ability to research thoroughly, form coherent thoughts, and articulate your ideas clearly. 3. You make more friends This is a good reason to do an MBA: you learn from others. I was fortunate to have classmates from the public and private sectors in my cohort. We had people from around the world working in finance, hospitality, F&B, and manufacturing, among others. There was even a medical doctor and a chemistry professor in the class. It was both enlightening and comforting to learn how similar our workplace challenges and opportunities were, despite the diversity of industries and backgrounds. It’s been eight years since I graduated and we remain connected. I am proud to say I have friends in all continents except for Antarctica (for now). All of that said, one could easily argue how each of the points above could be gained on-the-job. And I maintain that doing an MBA requires a lot of investments in time, money, and energy. So do you really need an MBA? Maybe not... unless you want to! [My book “Staying the Course: Navigating the Challenges of Part-time Study” is now available from Universiti Malaya Press.]

Well said Asrif Yusoff! I was from the ancient era where internet was privileged not a necessity, so learning is not at the fingertips yet. After 10 years, knowledge from my engineering degree began to fade off and found myself lacking. Also, I totally don't have business sense and am just good being shelved-away doing back-end, nerdy type of work when my personality is all about creating value and dealing a lot more with people to connect and collaborate. Long story short, I went back to school to have my eyes opened wider, my brain connect dots better and best of all the circle of quality friends and connections expanded (it was before the era of Linkedin too). If young people today without experience, pursuing MBA, it will look fancy on CV at first, there is 'delayed gratification'of about 1-2 years but do showcase the impact at work since you are already well-equipped, you start to see the ROI because definitely, you'll ACCELERATE!

But why do an MBA? Can I share my humble perspective.... I just came across a post from an inspiring Seipati Seoke (MBA) 💃 and whilst I am at it I would like to also recognize Sipho Sidwell Ngwenya (MBA) 🕺. Both these remarkable and popular #youngpeople have in my opinion taken the most #courageous & #wisest act of admitting (like I did) that most of us (including commerce people) DO NOT ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW THE BUSINESS WORLD OPERATES!!! Yes, we have an idea about profit 🤑🤑 and marketing.... oh and we are all great at #networking at social events 🤣😂 oh and ofcourse one more young legend Vusi Thembekwayo 👊🏾 also has an #MBA... now you know.... But here is the simple thing, we live in a #capitalist world of #globaltrade and honestly my superficial "little idea of business" isn't going to help me but rather short serve me... and get me robbed of my dues... Let's look at the fact majority of us young people don't have family business history. Or even in the #boardroom in the corporate world (both government & private sectors) I will need to have a refined sense of #strategicplanning and also be able to read any financial statements without asking for the CA to interpret it. Coupled with understanding #operations, #supplychain and #riskmanagement.... by the way these terms are not as big as they sound BUT MORE CRUCIAL IN THE BIGGER SCHEME OF THINGS!!! Well, an MBA is expensive... TRUE... but I DID MINE WITH FULL SCHOLARSHIP... or you can seek a rich sponsor to pay it for you... Last words: no matter what educational background you come from, WE ALL NEED A FORMAL POSTGRAD BUSINESS QUALIFICATION... it will save our country a LOT OF MONEY in the long run and help us manage our finances better. May God richly bless you all my fellow #awesomepeople 😊💪🏾🙏🏾🤝🏾
