The value of an MBA (Masters in Business) degree is constantly under question. And for good reason. 2 years of classes (and up to $200K+) is a big investment.
Entrepreneurs have come out with cheaper innovations. There’s Mark Ritson’s 10 week mini MBA program. Seth Godin’s month-long alternative MBA. Even various MBAs in a book. These programs cover much of the same material as a business degree. But is that why people go to business school?
Would-be MBA students aren’t looking for a cheaper MBA. The top MBA students aren’t at least. They have good job prospects. They want to invest in something that will supercharge those prospects further. The MBA killer won’t be an online accounting course… it will be … Slack.
