Dinos Constantinou shares his MBA experience at IMD and tells us why he chose an MBA over an EMBA.
- Professional experience and maturity of MBA students (7 years +)
- Cooperative environment (esp. among students)
- Short and intensive nature of programme
- Family friendliness of school
- MBA publications
- International rankings
- Friends
Although I considered an EMBA, I decided that a compact MBA would be preferable for three main reasons:
- the benefits are in my opinion far greater because it allows you to focus far more effectively on the learning process;
- I would like to changecareer and therefore appreciate the time and "break" involved in a full-time MBA;
- the time pressure on the family (we have two children) is I believe greater with an EMBA.
The usual benefits are clearly a higher degree of internationalism, widening of perspectives, as well as contact with a richer variety of fellow participants.
Before the MBA I was in strategic consultancy - and would now like to move into venture capital or private equity.
