In the article published in Higher Education Review, Dr Gary Stockport (Professor - Strategy, Dean - Executive MBA and Chair - Examinations Board), SP Jain School of Global Management, talks about the advantages associated with undertaking an Executive MBA (EMBA) program and the transformative impact an EMBA can have on individuals' careers



In the article, Dr Stockport highlights the key benefits, including the transition from specialised knowledge to a more inclusive understanding of business functions, leadership development, career acceleration, immediate application of learning in the workplace, soft skills improvement, learning from experienced faculty, networking opportunities, CV enhancement, extended professional development, and the overall strategic investment value of pursuing an EMBA.

He adds, “An EMBA helps to turbo-charge a CV. Having an EMBA on a CV might just be the difference between a person getting the job if he/she is compared with someone who has a similar track-record of work experience but does not have one”.
