The fast-growing global importance of information management to the business world has created an increase in the demand for MBA graduates with technical skills over the past decade. Of particular note is the fast-paced growth in technology, specifically new platforms such as social networking formed on the back of the rapid integration of the online domain into everyday life.
This shift has also seen growth in the number of prospective MBA candidates with IT and engineering backgrounds who look to build on their technical skills, instead of looking to switch to the traditionally popular MBA industries such as finance, general management or consulting. Importance has now been placed on combining world class management skills with already established technical expertise.
