15th Feb 2012

Got an MBA degree but wondering why your career in the technology sector is still not on the fast track? Wondering if that hefty fee and the long hours slogging at a fancy technology degree is going to get you into the job of your dreams? Think yet again, are you sure your Technology degree has given you the right path to approach all your dreams? In today’s ever evolving business environment, an MBA for a technology professional is a prerequisite to taking the right step up the corporate ladder. An MBA is no longer a degree that opens doors or a mark of distinction on your resume, but the takeaway you have as an individual and professional from the programme. Today’s dynamic MBA programmes for technology professionals like the ones offered at the Sunstone Business School offer you the key skill sets required to handle multiple responsibilities of the workplace and make informed business decisions.

If you are looking for the right choice of MBA, then you should ideally look for these factors when you are choosing:

Analytical and Problem solving skills: Does your MBA give you great theory? Or does it offer you the ability to handle real life situations. Choose an MBA which gives you a chance to utilize your problem solving skills, with a “Problem Based Learning” curriculum. This is a bigger, broader canvas on which to paint. The problem could be a business plan or a real life, business situation. The faculty in this case should be a mentor, rather than a teacher and the learning becomes interactive as well.

Cross-cultural awareness: In today’s shrinking world, you could be doing business with a client in Japan, and working with an associate from the US. The ability to think across cultures and time zones, with an understanding of global markets is essential for a good business leader.

Learning from the Industry: While there is no substitute to learning on the job, getting to meet real life leaders and entrepreneurs who share their learning with you is invaluable to be immersed in the way business processes work in the real world. At Sunstone Business School, a unique platform which offers MBA programme for technology professional’s guest lectures and share sessions from leading names in the industry are routine.

Technology for collaboration: Technology trends are leading today’s business environments, and technology is key to all collaborative and learning efforts. An MBA programme that offers you the best access to learning through a large knowledge repository, will give you a wider share of the knowledge base. At Sunstone Business School, this collaboration offers the right connects between faculty, students and industry.

A strong Network: It’s not just great skill sets that come in handy at the workplace. A strong, well defined network of fellow alumni and industry is equally important. Sunstone Business School gives you a chance to interact with guest faculty from the industry to build your network. This interaction with industry and peer groups offers most alumni a chance to build a base in the industry even as they pick up their PGPM course.
