A business program in this field aims to broaden and strengthen knowledge in global business practices, and it will provide a number of benefits that will assist professionals no matter which path their career takes.

In this blog our expert from the International School of Management outlines some of the key benefits of an IMBA.

The fundamentals

An International MBA program’s curriculum is designed to train students in the fundamentals of how businesses operate on an international scale. It will equip students with the tools and theory required to adapt to global industries. Many IMBA students will be accomplished professionals, and during class, they will be able to share their existing knowledge and experience. This will give the students the opportunity to learn from each other as well as from their professors. The IMBA program will also challenge students to evaluate their experience and perceptions in an international context in order to learn and apply principles and practices in diverse settings.

Global professional network

An IMBA will help students to expand their international network as classmates during the program hail from all over the world. Through these courses, students will also be exposed to a variety of global business philosophies and have the opportunity to develop strong international business relationships and connect with global professional leaders. This will all contribute towards helping students develop the skills and confidence necessary to integrate with an array of diverse cultures. 

Stand out in the job market

Employers recognise the work and skill required to successfully earn an International MBA, and the program is regarded highly amongst global companies and employers. Earning an IMBA demonstrates exceptional theoretical and practical business skills and an ability to adapt to an international professional environment. In addition, the valuable skills acquired through an IMBA program can help professionals drive business growth within their own organisations.

Cross-cultural understanding

The intensified multicultural exposure that students get while studying an IMBA is highly beneficial. Often those coming into the program already have an international mindset, but getting an opportunity to develop one’s business skills in such an environment is a rewarding challenge. Classes are often taught in different locations to provide exposure to different ways of doing business. The value of experiencing new cultures and a different international academic environment from your home country is immeasurable. Students learn problem-solving and decision-making skills in a unique environment which combines the perspectives of practitioners and scholars from around the world.

Gain an entrepreneurial edge

Entrepreneurial thinking has become crucial to success in business today. A significant portion of IMBA studies involves evaluating the core components of entrepreneurship. Throughout the program, students are often given the chance to work on their own entrepreneurial projects independently or in a team. Showcasing ideas to tutors and fellow classmates provides the opportunity to receive vital constructive feedback. An IMBA provides aspiring entrepreneurs with the fundamental skills for starting their own business and for those within organizations, it gives them essential entrepreneurial skills that can be used to drive business growth and internationalise.

In Conclusion…

An IMBA is a great opportunity for those looking to expand their career beyond borders and work in an increasingly globalised world. The degree gives candidates the edge to compete in a global market and gives them new ideas and connections that span the globe. It is a personally and professionally rewarding experience that helps students develop a better understanding of the world we live and work in.

Hi, the article was very useful. I need a suggestion from you. I am about to take a master of business management course this year ( Course page - https://www.uowdubai.ac.ae/master-of-business-management). What do you think about taking this course? Expecting your suggestions.

Charlotte King Dec. 1, 2020, 6:13 p.m.

Hi Aliyah – I am not familiar with this MBA program , however as it is taught out of the oldest and one of the more prestigious universities in the UAE it is likely to be a good choice. Good luck.
