What is mba and what are MBA programs

MBA programs - Master of Business Administration (Master of Business Administration), abbreviated MBA, belong to the class of programs in the field of postgraduate education. As part of these programs, managers and top management are trained to work in various fields of activity. A key element of MBA programs is their versatility. Graduates of MBA programs can work in any industry, manufacturing, trade or service sector.

The structure of the MBA programs and the content of the courses are such that the training of managers lasts for one and a half or two years. This is due to the fact that the structure of the business does not depend on the characteristics of the industry, cultural characteristics or geographical location. 

If we talk about MBA as an educational product - then, of course, they have certain specifics.

MBA is...

There are MBA programs called General management - such programs focus on understanding and understanding the processes that take place in the company, including the strategic vision of business development.

In addition to the General MBA, there are general and strategic management programs - they are popular among business owners and top management companies. However, despite the common abbreviation MBA in the name, programs offered by KROK Business School differ in their philosophy and target audience, regional representation and format, duration, set of elective courses and many other factors. This is due to the availability of specialized MBA programs.

In the portfolio of MBA programs of the KROK Business School, there are offers from the category Professional MBA with specialization in IT management, as well as Industrial MBA - Production Management and MBA Pharmaceutical Business.

In essence, both general and specialized MBA programs provide a standard set of knowledge on the basics of economics, business and management, the business environment, marketing, finance, information flow management, and strategies.

The MBA program is both generalist and specialized, in any case it gives the student a general view of business and management processes.

The offer of specialized MBA programs is conditioned by the availability of business school resources for this purpose, namely: expertise, experience and academic training of professors and teaching staff, connections with the corporate world and international projects.

In accordance with the development strategy of KROK Business School, we will increase the offer of specialized MBA programs, both professional and industrial. This approach provides an opportunity for diversification, as well as an opportunity for clients who have already graduated from an MBA program to take an additional specialization. And the need for additional knowledge is caused both by increased competition in business and by an increase in the demand for specialization of programs on the part of consumers.
