Which degree is right for you?
An MBA is a professional degree that focuses on developing functional business skills such as accounting and finance, statistics etc. and then applying these skills in business applications. Most MBA programs require some work experience prior to enrolment as classmates often learn from one another's professional experience. MBA programs also emphasise the other skills needed as a manager such as effective communication, negotiation and collaboration. Many programs do offer concentration areas within the MBA program such as supply chain, finance and marketing. However, these tend to be a small percentage of the course requirements.
How to decide?
First focus on your career objectives. If you are interested in moving up within management ranks in an organisation or if you have an undergraduate degree in another discipline and are looking to learn the functional business skills, the MBA would be a good choice. However, if you would like to go deeper into a discipline and become a specialist you should consider a specialised masters degree.

Finally, what trends are you currently seeing in the marketing world?Inbound marketing - Inbound marketing, which once generated competitive advantage, is now a necessity for survival. It is no longer about social media presence, it is about selecting the most relevant platforms for the business and using them effectively to engage leads and convert them into customers. Intelligent marketing starts with buyer personas and use well though strategies to target the right people with the right package.
Personalised marketing - People are complex and dynamic. Yet, they seek personalisation from a mobile phone to a toothbrush. They are exhausted from loud, vibrant marketing that leaves them with many needs and empty pockets. People seek customised attention and individualised products that meet their needs with simplicity.
Big data - This information era has opened up millions of data collection points that leave marketers swamped with data. As a result, a marketer’s role demands the right analytical skills to select what is relevant and transform them into meaningful information.
