Know your specialisation: MBA in IT
MBA in Information Technology (IT) is a relatively new discipline. This industry recruits in large numbers and plays an important role in our lives today.
IT management graduates look after business development, operations, consultancy, sales & marketing and technical functions. MBA in IT is quite similar to a general management as both the degrees focus on a holistic approach to business.
IT firms often tend to look for MBAs with a computer science background to cut back on training. “MBAs would typically look to run large teams of network engineers, or manage a business unit in which network engineers are prominent,” informs TopMBA.
