An MBA is a post graduate degree in business communication and is a very popular course for business students the world over
The MBA programme is recognized worldwide and is considered as a major step towards a successful business management career.
An MBA degree is one of the most sought after degrees in the world because of its value to people in business and administration. Irrespective of the industry or profession that you are in, or regardless of the condition of the economy of your country, an MBA degree can benefit those in positions in business and management, especially those in executive and managerial positions.
An MBA program strives to equip its students with all the necessary knowledge, theoretical as well as practical, which can benefit them tremendously in managerial and administrative jobs.
This does not apply only to business, as is usually understood by most people, but can also benefit people to get into executive positions in the public sector and government jobs as well. This gives the MBA degree a global appeal and worldwide recognition.
In Morocco, students attach more importance to this degree. Enthusiasm exists amongst both students and recruiters. The opinions of others recognize the potential benefit of this Degree for a professional career.
In recent years, there has been an increased interest around the world for English-training programs. This is due to globalization that we are now witnessing, which Morocco is taking an active role. The English language has become a necessity for all dialogues with the outside world. National frameworks must now be able to communicate in English, especially with the use of modern means of communication like the Internet or other openings in the international environment. Many French based schools receive throughout their training courses support in English to prepare them for their future work.
Moroccan companies, like any company is in search of better managers and leaders. Throughout their studies, participating in an MBA, especially a worldwide-recognised MBA, the student is called to reflect on concrete problems that deal with management, strategy, marketing, finance, and also driving change, human resources. The skills that each MBA participant acquires throughout the programme come in addition to ones he has already gained through his training and years of professional experience. The Moroccan company, whether SME or large enterprise, whether public or private, is badly in need of managers to manage the current and future situations and face the challenges of openness in which our country is engaged.
Abdelmoutaleb, 26-year financial framework "management controller" ‘I believe that this trend is linked first to the quality of training offered by institutions in English-speaking world (as in the 100 universities ranked in the world, there are 90% of Anglo-Saxon countries, including USA, England and Canada). The management models that have demonstrated their effectiveness and great performance come from the Anglo-Saxon management. Similarly, there is an international harmonization of accounting, financial, quality standards. This would take as an example the countries that have adopted the Anglo-Saxons systems’.
Adil Benjelloun, 27, head of treasury management.’ This request is due to the development of current relations with Morocco, the English-speaking countries and led by the USA through the Free Trade Agreement and the implantation of multinationals that require English proficiency as a criterion for selecting candidates’.
Kawtar, 23, sales executive, ‘I think the Anglo-Saxon education system is the most dominant in terms of world leaders. Multinational and large companies are increasingly looking for this profile, the MBA because management and all the modules taught in English provides a plus that the French system does not provide. Morocco comes just after the Middle-East in terms of Anglo Saxon explosion of investment (Unilever, Coke and Procter & Gamble, etc). These multinational leaders are very interested in this profile’.
