My way to becoming an MBA
Motivation Statement
The world is changing from day to day. In order to cope with this constant change, every single person needs to be flexible, open minded and innovative in every matter.
I am currently working for Archer Daniels Midland, one of the leaders on the market of agricultural products. ADM has its offices in nearly every country of the world, giving jobs to people of more than a hundred different nationalities. Therefore, it was imperative to ensure a high level of flexibility at my current position, being ready to relocate and start up a new life, in a new surrounding, with new tasks, with new colleagues.
In the past I worked on many personal projects from different areas including: online social networking (www.crown-club.eu), B2B Directories (www.paraxon.biz) and even fashion (www.anthonicrown.com).
The unique MBA online course offered by the University is the only MBA program worldwide, which can move together with me whenever it would become necessary to dislocate in order to grow within ADM or any other globally orientated enterprise. The online course makes group projects and interactions possible, which pushes networking and social interactions among the "future masters" to an entirely new level.
I believe that the time has come to go further than salesmanship at the oil crushing plant in Mainz, Germany. I believe that I am ready for more strategic, global and political tasks.
I am sure that the MBA online course of the University of Phoenix will give me the foundation, to make “the change” happen.
My MBA - furthering and changing my career
The Jungian 16-Type Self-Assessment ranked me into the ENTP category, as being innovative, individualistic, versatile, and entrepreneurial, with a possible career as politician, strategic planner, literary agent, publicist, entrepreneur, investment broker, computer analyst, or advertising executive.
I see a big connection of this categorization of my personality to my personal future career goal of occupying an executive position in a globally set-up enterprise. Therefore, I am pursuing an MBA in order to build a solid foundation of theory where “a lot of practical success could be built on.” A master’s degree in Business Administration ranks the holder directly into the top category of management and brings many opportunities and advantages unseen before.
While other children watched their favorite cartoon or played their favorite video game, reading business articles and watching the fluctuations seen in the stock market enthralled me. Renowned leaders in the business world have always been of interest to me, specifically Warren Buffet. My favorite quote by Buffet is “It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than you and you’ll drift in that direction.” By attending CMU, I would personify this quote. Growing up, my parents have instilled into me, many essential values, such as working hard and “being the best me I could be.” I have always expected a lot from myself, but high expectations from my parents and close friends, have increased my work ethic and lifted my goals and aspirations even higher. For that reason, I hope to challenge myself through the prestigious Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Science’s economics curriculum. The undergraduate economics program would prepare me for a vast array of careers. Jobs in policy, law, and business are all possible, or if one desires to go to some sort of post graduate school, that is also possible. By having such a top-notch education, I would surely be closer to achieving my goal of receiving my MBA from Tepper. In making all this possible, a wide range of classes must be made available. Classes that are available in just about any economics curriculum, like Intermediate Economics, are also available here, but classes like Behavioral Economics and Global Electronic Markets are what makes CMU unique. Another attractive aspect of CMU is the jointly administered economics degree by Dietrich and Tepper. I feel this will make for a solid foundation in the field of econo...

... The program is clearly not a perfect substitute for experience, but I believe it would program would also allow me to further research my business ideas through the experiences of my peers, independent study, and related summer employment. This would let me have a deep understanding, as I hope, of financial and other market structures, competitiveness, and other factors that a consultant needs take into account when recommending whether to pursue a career as an international business consultant.
Adapting to change I find is worthwhile in my eyes. I can see myself grow from what I learn and see by working on myself and change the way I use to think about the word change.

The question that I’m going to ask myself is, am I the right person to reach my goal? You bet!

The further education in today’s modern world is extremely important because of the sheer competition for jobs. An MBA significantly increases the hiring opportunities and improves a persons career choices significantly. My research found that a number of huge companies actually required an MBA to even get a first interview. The MBA teaches different techniques from companies and the undergraduate degrees, so you learn skills that are essentially very much exclusive to graduate business programs. It is clear that the MBA degree is sought by Finance companies as currently JP Morgan, Chase, HSBC and Wells Fargo currently offer sponsorships for employees to continue their education if they work for the company for a certain period of ti...

I was very fond of business administration and I gained a lot of management skills and knowledge on how to manage and develop business as well my personal life. I am very focused on business management specifically on an international aspect because I am interested to know in depth how business works locally and internationally. I learnt many aspects on client-manager interaction and this fascinated me on how businesses are managed and developed from one level to the other. It has been my wish to be a triumphant professional manager and I am looking forward to becoming a senior manager in an international pharmaceutical or medical device firm.
...e told and connect them with each other. I think there is no bad project; there are ones who could not realize them well. Individual factor plays key role. Therefore, you always need to keep in touch with your audience and make project remarkable with small factors. I think I am the person who can manage works and think about results beforehand. I am studying Business Administration and I believe I should start to work even before graduating from Academy. After five years, I see myself as a respected person and entrepreneur who bring innovative ideas to Azerbaijan.
As the title of this paper states, “How our World is Changing” our world is constantly changing. Our world changes everyday without most of us ever seeing or noticing any changes, but as we look back in history we can see some tremendous changes. As history is studied these changes become apparent and truly jump out and become real.
Thus the reasons why I want to go back to university and do a MBA to get myself a thorough business background to understand not only my career experiences but other students as well and put them in to business context and have a holistic view of the organization. The knowledge I will gain should help facilitate a career change. After extensive work in high tech LNG shipping industry, I want to transfer to shore based industry.
