Dr Gary Stockport (Professor - Strategy, Dean - Executive MBA and Chair - Examinations Board, SP Jain School of Global Management) writes in Poets & Quants on several reasons why investing in an EMBA can be highly beneficial for working professionals.



In the article, Dr Stockport emphasises that while pursuing an EMBA requires a significant investment of time, money, and energy, the long-term benefits outweigh the costs, making it a strategic investment decision for individuals seeking to advance their careers and excel in the competitive business environment.

He adds, “If students aspire to start their own business or join a start-up, an EMBA can provide the knowledge and skills needed for building a sustainable competitive advantage. Students learn how to identify their ideal customer, develop a Mission Statement, build a brand, and develop a business plan which identifies and minimises the risks of failure, be they strategy, marketing and financial. EMBA courses might also include technology entrepreneurship and small business growth.”
