      • Tech Mahindra in Culture & Education, Employment, Mba

        Just three years ago, PersonalMBA founder Josh Kaufman declared MBAs “mostly a worthless piece of paper,” harsh words for students who are… Read moreconsidering a career in business. But there’s good news. The latest Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) study indicates that MBA hiring is up, and in fact, 2012 was the best year for MBA employment since the recession hit.
        MBAs are finding jobs once again, but they may not be where you’d expect. Increasingly, they’re headed to growth industries rather than Wall Street. Manufacturing, technology, and health care show particularly strong growth for MBA hires. In response, business schools are offering more specialized MBAs that cater to these industries and lead to career opportunities off the beaten MBA path.
        Why a Specialized MBA?

        A specialized MBA not only teaches general management principles, but also focuses on practices that are unique to a particular industry. Excelsior College School of Business and Technology dean Jane LeClair explains, “An MBA that provides for an industry specialization better prepares students for upward mobility by putting basic MBA principles into real-world context applicable to their chosen fields.”
        Business schools have recognized that there’s an increased employer demand for specialized talent at the MBA level. In response, they’ve changed their offerings and curriculum to give graduates a competitive leg up in these growing industries. “(There’s a) growing need to address industry needs as more of the work force nears retirement,” said LeClair of the college’s Health Care Management and Technology Management MBA concentrations. As an example of a response to industry changes, Excelsior’s Technology Management and Health Care Management MBAs opened for enrollment in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
        Manufacturing MBAs

        Manufacturing is an overlooked industry for many business students, as it’s traditionally considered to be reserved for skilled workers doing manual labor. Contrary to popular belief, manufacturing has grown past its Industrial Revolution history of back-breaking labor. This is a changing field, one that has become more complex and technology-driven, and is in need of knowledgeable managers.
        For decades, low-wage China was the go-to location for manufacturing, but work is coming back to the United States, thanks to cheap and abundant natural gas, intellectual property laws, and public policy. Hugh Welsh, President and General Counsel of DSM North America. reports that these factors, including U.S. innovation and human capital are bringing manufacturing work back to America and turning manufacturing into a fast growing industry. It’s no surprise, then, that four out of the 11 fastest-growing industries in 2013 are in manufacturing.
        With all of this growth, managers are needed to make sense of supply chains, employment, and accounting. GMAC reports a 76% success rate overall for MBAs seeking manufacturing positions.
        MBAs are a hot commodity in manufacturing, especially when coupled with a technical degree like engineering. MIT’s Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) program offers an engineering-MBA dual degree that allows graduates to pair management acumen with technical expertise. LGO director of operations and partner integration Joshua Jacobs believes this degree gives students the resources they need to be successful in a technical manufacturing setting. “With this background, our students bring the ability to drive change in large manufacturing organizations, in areas such as lean transformation, supply chain and logistics, sourcing, new product introduction, and quality. LGO graduates have a technical credibility that allows them to lead within engineering-focused organizations,” says Jacobs.
        Hot Jobs for Manufacturing MBAs
        Graduates of MIT’s LGO program have been offered jobs with industry giants including Amazon, Boeing, and Caterpillar. Other major employers include Deloitte, Emerson Process Management, and Amgen.
        Hot jobs for manufacturing MBAs are in the fields of project management, business analysis, and supply chain management. In these positions, manufacturing MBAs pair technical knowledge with management know-how. Industrial production managers oversee manufacturing and plant operations, coordinating, planning, and directing the activities necessary to create goods. Supply chain managers, or logisticians, analyze and coordinate the supply chains of organizations. And business analysts explore new paths in efficiency and profitability.
        Online MBA Programs in Manufacturing
        These accredited business schools offer online MBA degree programs with concentrations/specializations in manufacturing:

        University of Scranton Online MBA in Operations Management: Learn how to make operations run smoothly in a manufacturing environment with this online program from the University of Scranton. Courses focus on project and quality management, and help students build both technical knowledge and business skills.
        Southern New Hampshire University MBA in Operations & Supply Chain Management: Southern New Hampshire’s online program in operations and supply chain management offers a pathway to upper-level positions in manufacturing, including operations, production, and distribution. With this degree, you’ll better understand how procurement, planning, and management work in the big picture.

        Health Care MBAs

        Health care needs MBAs now more than ever before. With an aging population, medical costs on the rise, and new reform, medicine is an industry full of growth and transition, and MBAs can help with new challenges. Hospitals and health care providers are trying to cut costs while still delivering good care. Health care costs have increased an average of 2.5% more than the U.S. GDP since 1970. That rate shows no signs of slowing down, but MBAs have the knowledge to make it happen.
        Doctors and nurses provide health care, but MBAs make hospitals work. Medical professionals often take a reactive approach to work, focusing on providing the best care to the patient they’re seeing for the next 15 to 30 minutes. That’s effective for individual patients, but MBAs are necessary for proactive thinking. Health care needs MBAs to consider the big picture and long term goals, like maximizing preventive care and patient efficiency.
        With a health care MBA, graduates are prepared to take on one of the most intricate and dynamic industries in the world. “(Health care’s) growing scope and complexity fuel demand for leaders with both business acumen and keen industry insight,” explains Duke University associate dean for career management Sheryle Dirks. LeClair agrees. “Given recent health care reform legislation and the attendant tiered implementation efforts, for organizations to survive this rapidly changing environment, it is important to plan strategically both for the change and to maintain the standards of quality, cost controls, and effectiveness,” she said.
        Health care MBA programs prepare students for careers in senior-level health care management. In many programs, students are able to learn from a multi-pronged approach that represents the needs of health care today. That’s evident in programs like the Duke Health Care Sector MBA, which offers students an interdisciplinary approach to learning that leverages the university’s capabilities in business education, research, and clinical care. Students work closely with faculty, industry leaders, and providers to explore health care’s most pressing issues through a multi-faceted lens.”
        Hot Jobs for Health Care MBAs
        Major employers for Health Care MBAs include hospitals and large health organizations, as well as biomedical startups and pharmaceutical research and development. A third of Kaiser Permanente‘s 16,000 to 18,000 new positions each year are in management and operations. Hospital Corporation of America is the largest private operator of health care facilities in the world, and targets new MBAs with a special executive development program. Biotech giant Amgen is eager to hire management grads as well with an MBA Leadership Program and summer internships.
        Many graduates of health care MBA programs are also finding that their degree opens options beyond major health care organizations. “Students are reflecting a trend of choice: they are choosing to move from a corporate atmosphere to a more altruistic, people-centered atmosphere,” says LeClair.
        Popular jobs for health care MBA graduates include hospital management and administration, health care financial management, and health services management. Hospital administrators make sure that facilities provide the best, most efficient care possible. This career is believed to be among the best jobs in America. Financial managers may find more opportunity in health care organizations than Wall Street, as hospitals are becoming competitive in hiring financial managers who oversee patient billing, health care value, and profitability.
        Online MBA Programs in Healthcare
        These AACSB-accredited business schools offer online MBA degree programs with concentrations/specializations in health care:

        Northeastern University Online MBA Healthcare Management Specialization: Northeastern University’s healthcare management MBA encourages students to understand the business of health care not just today, but throughout history, educating the next generation of health care reform leaders.
        George Washington University Healthcare MBA Online: This two year online program combines a traditional MBA program with 12 elective classes that explore management in nearly every health care setting, including hospitals, physician practices, and skilled nursing facilities.

        Technology MBAs

        Technology has allowed us to store and search the entirety of human knowledge. It’s allowed us to reach the moon and build a national highway system. These feats don’t happen without scientists and engineers, but they don’t happen without effective management, either. This industry needs professionals with technical know-how to dream up the ideas that can develop into these major human accomplishments, but also need managers that can follow through to make dreams and ideas a reality. Innovation is everywhere, and technology is not just a field for scientists and programmers anymore. Managers are needed to turn big ideas into real, concrete products and services.
        There’s big business in technology, reaching practically every industry in the world from education to communications and manufacturing. Business and technology are increasingly intertwined, and organizations need leaders that can understand both. Business professionals in the tech world can offer insight into cost, customers, and trends. MBAs can guide startups and bring business sense to scientific minds. There’s no end to the potential value that management professionals can bring to technology, whether they’re working on government contracts or growing companies from the dorm room to the board room.
        Technology, and the high tech industry in particular, is growing three times faster than other areas of the private sector in the United States. MBAs who haven’t thought of technology as a career choice should think again: the technology industry has grown rapidly in recent decades, and data indicates that there’s still room for plenty more.
        High tech businesses realize the value of MBAs in their organizations, so it’s no wonder that there’s a 22% growth in hiring MBAs, and a 70% success rate for job offers among MBAs pursuing technology positions. Even for currently working technology professionals, an MBA can open up doors to new areas of IT, or even allow a tech MBA to climb the ladder to CIO or CTO. And this climb can happen practically anywhere, as 98% of U.S. counties have at least one high tech business establishment.
        Technology MBAs allow graduates to take on managerial positions in tech fields, bringing life to innovations and maximizing the potential of new and existing technology. MBA grads in this field “know how to effectively integrate and manage technology within an organization and understand the strategic management principles that need to be applied to develop, implement and overcome the challenges associated with innovative technology and change,” says LeClair of the school’s Technology Management MBA.
        Hot Jobs for Technology MBAs
        Graduates of technology MBA programs often go on to work for major employers including Microsoft, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and Google, but there are also exiting opportunities in growing startups and incubators.
        Technology management MBA grads are often currently-working tech professionals seeking promotion in the field. With this degree, they can move up to positions including systems management, systems analysts, and even IT directors or chief technology officers (CTO). Systems managers determine the information technology goals of an organization and oversee the work of the IT department. Chief technology officers focus on the scientific and technological issues of an organization at the executive level.
        Online MBA Programs in Information Technology
        These accredited business schools offer online MBA degree programs with concentrations/specializations in information technology:

        SUNYIT Online MBA in Technology Management: State University of New York’s Institute of Technology offers a completely online technology management program. This degree brings management essentials together with a focus on technology in today’s work environment.
        Capella University Online MBA in Information Technology Management: Capella University’s IT management MBA program recognizes the expanded use of information technology throughout the world, and especially in business. With this degree program, students can develop skills in both business and technological advancement.
        In addition to Technology Management MBAs, traditional MBAs from schools with a tech focus like Stanford and MIT allow students to earn an MBA in the heart of tech entrepreneurship hubs.

        MBA careers are more competitive now than ever before. In recent years, we’ve seen an a record jump in the number of MBA graduates, and companies just aren’t hiring MBAs like they used to. But top management talent can hedge against this competition by pursuing specialized programs in growth industries that go beyond the typical MBA track. Consider what an MBA in a growth industry can do for your career.

                      After studying Theatre Direction in London, Jehan Manekshaw returned to India in search of a purpose. A few years later, he is bringing world… Read morestandards to theater in India. This July he and his team are starting Mumbai’s first full-fledged Drama School. Jehan is an example of the ethos and pedagogy that infuses his school: in order to work in the performing arts, one must not just be an actor but a theatre-maker—an actor-creator-entrepreneur.

                      You perform and make theatre every day. An hour of working to creating small performance pieces that you present to the faculty every week. DSM’s Performance Lab provides for continuous application of training, you learn, by doing. Always. Listen to one of our participants talk about how they learn from the Performance Lab.
                      Enter Jehan.
                      One of the most difficult days in my life had to be the day I boarded an Air India flight from London back to Delhi. I had just finished a two year course Training as a theatre director and producer, and spent the additional work experience year on my visa doing two things: making theatre in an environment full of actors, technicians, producers, whom I could collaborate effectively and to great result with, using the skills I had learned in college; and, interviewing at a thousand jobs in the Theatre to see if one of them would convert to a job, and a more importantly, a work-permit so I could spend my time in this rich environment of professional theatrical practice.

                      I was distraught. I had spent the 8 of the last 10 years of my life in the UK and US, studying and working in places where professional practice and a sector existed. I had no idea how my MFA and BA in theatre direction were every going to translate into a career back home in India. Where the notion of “creative industries” was unheard of. It took me some time to come to terms with my new reality, but having got over my unhappiness (and to some extent, my own perceptions about myself), I started to look around, to see what it was exactly that I could do.
                      After touring to meet a number of companies, and talking to many people, I realized, that there was actually an extremely rich vein of theatre practice across the country, and in terms of content, depth of practice, ability, India had it all. It’s just that it all existed in isolated pockets of practice, at best, you could say Theatre as a sector, existed like a cottage industry, its ‘fairs’ being the three or four major theatre festivals each year, at which the same plays by the same companies were being seen. Its best practices, lay behind the walls of institutions, that, while doing good work, were inaccessible to many, for example, the National School of Drama, which has 25 seats a year, and caters to regional quotas (being the nations premier institution).
                      In the meantime, in the city itself, there were a multitude of performers and actors, and people who love and want to do theatre. (Drama incidentally comes from the Latin, Dram, drm; it means “to do”).  These people were creating work, either on the stages of Prithvi, the NCPA, or through vernacular companies, all of whom picked up what little they could, through workshops by local actors, or learnt by getting cast in amateur plays, and gleaning what they could from either their directors, or the more seasonedactors around them.
                      We needed a new platform, upon which to hone skills, pick up the rigor, focus, and commitment, which is required when learning the craft of acting, and could deliver learning in a structured manner in line with the more evolved pedagogical methods of the west.  But, it wasn’t simply about creating this space for formal training in acting and theatre making to fulfill this need.  It was also creating a School, which would call upon these rich practices that existed across the country, and create a platform in which knowledge dissemination, using methods and techniques from Kallari, Koodiyattom, and Manipuri could co-exist with Greek Chorus, Stanislavsky, and Commedia. A place where actors could, through exploration and tutelage in all these forms, not develop a mastery of them (that takes a lifetime), but absorb the fundamental principals, and through experiencing them evolve a new, contemporary understanding of the fundamental tools of the actor, conditioning of the breath and voice, use of the body, and the imagination.
                      But is it enough to create an actor? I don’t think so; the last thing a school should create is the out-of-work actor. It’s important to create theatre-makers as well. So while you can keep struggling to look for a job, under a director or get cast in a film, you also have the ability to make your own theatre.  That’s where the joy of theatre lies, its to revel in the act of creation, the act of storytelling, its about having something to say about something you believe in, and having a burning need to share it with the world, your audience, (in a manner that entertains, absorbs and involves them).  It’s important, that any one who is studying performance, is also empowered and enabled to be the authors of their own work.

                      And is it enough to create the actor-creator? Especially if they are going to have this formal training, and the sensibilities of a creator? To then be cast into a sector which I characterized at the top of this as being a cottage industry? This is why, any Drama School in India today, needs to also cultivate the entrepreneurial frame of mind. To understand what it takes to produce something, market something, imagine an idea and create a workable plan that will evolve from an idea in their heads of what kind of sector they want to work in, and to confidently embark on this ultimate act of creating something where nothing existed before.  When Tasneem Fatehi and I created Theatre Professionals in 2008, it was with an aim to do exactly this for ourselves, create a space in which we could be professional Theatre Practitioners, and earn a living from Theatre in whatever way imaginable. Its been a great journey where we now have Drama instructors who earn a living teaching Drama in 22 Schools, directors and choreographers who work on annual day productions in schools, facilitators for corporate workshops, and a team of professional faculty from across the country, regularly conducting training for actors (this year, we embark on creation our own productions as well, two of them, through the school). All of our team work in the Theatre, earn a living from the theatre, and consider themselves theatre professionals. There are now 40 of us, and we live, breath, dream Theatre.  There are so many sectors that have formalized, organized and become professional here in the last seven years, the “creative industry” is now a reality, and its now the turn of Theatre to do the same. But just our one organization, will never make this dream of a formal, professional sector a reality; it will take a whole new generation of Actor-Creator-Entrepreneurs to do this. The Drama School, Mumbai is our first, and the best step, we can take towards this.
                      To finish the story I started with; last week at a wedding here in India, I had the good fortune to meet all of my friends from the UK, who had come down for it; the same ones who said goodbye to a very distraught and unhappy individual at Paddington Station. Time folded in on itself, the last seven years reducing to a moment (as it does at such reunions). The common consensus, starting a career in Theatre in India was the best thing that ever happened to me, and they were right.
