why do we study marketing as a MBA student?

Simple answer would be that Marketing (the study and analysis of the product or service a company provides, its brand positioning, pricing, promotion to potential buyers, and the development of strategies to manage all these areas) is an essential part of a business plan and in the real world business grads are expected to be able to help in this area.

Marketing and Communications are pretty different fields.  Marketing is generally a business degree and it's taught in the college of business, whereas communications is an arts degree.  \n\nDo a search for good business schools.  US News & World Report puts rankings out every year.

I would recommend to do an MBA course in one of the top 10 institutes. It broadens your horizon on the job market and also gives you an edge among peers. Simply put, you mature to the needs of the industry

It depends on you and how you like to learn. I enjoy seeing the other students and the teacher so a correspondence course isn't my cup of tea. Someone who prefers independent learning would do best in a correspondence course.\n\nA lot MBA and business work is group oriented so the traditional way may be good in that it could lead to future networking contacts. That is part of school.

It depends on what you are interested in obviously.  When I graduated I went directly into my field of study, but wish that I hadn't.  A friend had saved up all through college and took six months to drive around the U.S. seeing famous locations.  He loved it.  However after a few years in engineering, I switched and started my own business and I love every minute of it.  So I think that if marketing is something you enjoy then it'll be fun to be working in your field, but if it's just a job, take some time off.

The course of study costs too much in time, money and effort to study anything but what interests you most. If you enjoy all three of these equally, I'd go with marketing, because it will give you the broadest education in business.

You have to look at MBA as a brand.  So you go to Chicago GSB or Harvard you get a brand.  Just like a razor, yet now it is Gillette versus say imaginary "sharp edge plus".  Even if they were the same quality, Gillette can charge more for their razor as it has a desired brand.\n\nFrom a personal growth perspective, you will not learn substentially more in Chicago Gsb vs 2.nd tier MBA program.  You will not get out any more clever than you came in, although Chicago GSB or Wharton only allows some of the best and brightest...  What you will get instead is being in the class with higher tier or people, both professors like Scott Meadow, Warren Batts, Kevin Murphy, Kaplan, Becker and Eugine Fama and your peer students vs. in 2nd tier schools. You will get to have a network of people who have won the Nobel prize and/or had been CEO's directors etc. of major companies.  You will end-up using them for the rest of your life.\n\nSo if your sole reason is to make more money using the brand or your network, it is no use for you to go to a 2nd tier school.\n\nIf you are going to better your self, and learn.  Then top tier vs. 2nd tier makes not much of a difference, maybe the learning experience might be better in top tier, yet if you work hard on it, it will be all the same.

I suggest you major in Business at your college, because you get to learn not only about finance (stocks and investing), but you also learn about marketing, accounting, and managing your own business.

I would suggest that you do a little soul searching and decide what type of career you would like to pursue then match your college major to your goals. That said, a bachelors in marketing would be much more beneficial to your career than an associates degree in business.

MBA generally is i finishing degree ie a  polishing one  in many countries. People in Us and other countries do Mba to improve in the business skills they already have so that they may seek a raise or qualify for some new post  that is the reason the universities that give you degrees wish you have a work experience with your application (colleges do not offer degree)because they do not offer any kind of co-Op or work experience with the course study as generally it happens in india that an MBA gets a summer traning with a company.There fore it is really hard to get a job with out any work experience after you have the degree unless you do it from some institute that gives you placement gurantee....THINK AGAIN before you choose MBA rather go for a professional study in you sector... Now even the IIM and ISB takes people with work experience on preference....TOEFL or IELTS is important for people who dont have english as first language

The best way is to work for different types of companies that you are interested in owning and learning all you can about them.\nYou are smart to start thinking about this now.\nI would suggest also that you get a collage level textbook on Marketing and read it completely through.\nYOu need to have a great knowledge of two things:\nMARKETING and MANAGEMENT and the way to start to get this knowledge is to go to a local collage bookstore and get these two textbooks and READ them, every word. Don't skip the one on marketing. It is just as important if not more so than the one on management.

If you have an MBA, you should stop studying and start applying your knowledge. The rough-and-tumble of business life will teach you things school never will. \nIf you REALLY want to study more, go for a PhD in Economics.

An MBA is a general business degree, although some schools specialize in certain fields, like finance or marketing for example.\nThe  largest number of job opportunities are in management and consulting.

I am in business so I hope it is true.  I would imagine because we are exposed to what business entails, such as human resources, entrepreneruship, finance, economics, ect...they are probably studing software stuff.\n\nWe learn how to work in teams and present our projects to the class...marketing, and selling.

Most people go to b-school for these reasons:\n1) Career Acceleration (Fast track, promotion, etc.)\n2) Switch Function / Industry (Engineering to Investment Banking)\n\nYou want to talk about where you are now, where you want to be (after your MBA), and how a MBA degree will help you get there.

A marketing plan is extremely important as it can act as a pre-feasability study. It will help you identify your market niche, who exactly do you target and what strategies to use in targetting these potential customers. A marketing plan removes the focus really on the product, and more on the customer since you can have the greatest roduct but no market to offer it to. Also, a proper marketing plan will help you to identify possible markets to target and in addition, make judgements on possible pitfalls for your product and how to avoid it.\n\nA marketing plan is CRUCIAL for any successful product.
