Now, I'm just a lowly applicant, but my prediction is that the "internationally-focused" MBA will soon become the norm. I understand why some programs tout their IMBA's as advantageous, but it's also a bit disconcerting that so many programs in the top 25 DON'T have a international flavor. It's not enough to simply construct a multi-cultural cohort; the actual spirit and place of each country in which business is done should be more prevalent. Perhaps we could even envision an MBA becoming a three-year program in the future with significant amounts of public policy, political science, or language studies interspersed within the program itself. Thoughts? Hey folks, thanks for the shout-out; I’m glad I was able to provide some insight on the concept of globalization.
