Otago MBA33
Monday, January 26th, 2009
This is the 33rd year of the Otago MBA and my second year as a student on this course. The Otago MBA is a boutique MBA programme with just 10 full time students and with another 7 part time dBA students. This is my second and final year on the programme with only one other paper to complete externally in 2010, which is the Consulting Project - BUSI 540 - which I have already comenced.
The central feature of the Otago MBA course is the management consulting project and research dissertation. The paper has two components, Firstly, students act as consultants to the senior management of a client organisation, identify and resolve issues confronting their clients and so add value to the clients’ operations. The theoretical underpinning of the management project is contained in a major research dissertaion, which comprises the second component. The Otago MBA
It was a great choice to take the Otago MBA over two years as I have been able to meet a wider range of people each with experience in different industries. As the class is small we are also able to get to know each other and lecturers more than if the class was larger. This module I am taking Economics with Dr Paul Hanson, Business Law with Stephen Baird, Marketing with Dr Rob Hamlin, and Statistics with Dr Lynn McAlevey.
