A question was raised at work today around whether MBAs are worth completing, or if more focused shorter courses provide more benefit such as finance etc.
Interested to hear others thoughts/opinions.
Thanks

I would agree with Mike's answer.
Ultimately it depends on what the person is trying to achieve. If the aim is to gain a pay-rise, then they may be dissapointed. If it is to gie an insight that might allow them to compete for more senior roles, then it may have value. Although be aware that there are dffferent types of MBA from various providers that have different focuses.
Rather than going for the full MBA, you can often find PG Cert's and Diploma's which are the first two years. These cost less and often cover the more management, HR, finance aspects which are more useful for someone aspiring to a management position. The final year of the MBA is usually strategic focus.
