Back to the Drawing Board: Postgraduate Courses are on the Rise

LONDON, November 19, 2010 - Despite the global economic downturn interest in business education has
not depleted; in fact postgraduate business qualifications such as the MBA
are more popular than ever as people strive to improve their marketability
and expand their commercial acumen. However with the high price of such a
qualification it is imperative to attend the right business school and there
are more than a few to choose from and more than a few charlatans misleading
the general consumer.

This is why European CEO magazine has decided to research which
institutions are truly amongst the elite; providing a distinct answer as to
which is the best academic establishment in your region no matter where you
are in the world. The institutions were judged on their ability to create new
models for delivering contemporary management and their ability to produce
trained corporate executives with clear insight into value-based management.
Also taken into account are the relationships between the institutions and
their business partners as well as its innovation, flexibility and
forward-thinking in creating the next quota of business brains. Nominations
were submitted by European CEO subscribers and the high level of interest
clearly indicates how business education is on the minds of the global
economic community.

Full media coverage of the Global Business Education Awards 2010 can be
found in the December - January edition of European CEO which is now
available in all good newsagents.
