PREPARING FOR THE TOP: IS AN MBA WORTH THE EFFORT?

Abstract

Two librarians, Patrick Noon and Sue Clegg, who have previously studied for an MBA, describe their different experiences of the course; what it offers a librarian, in terms of personal and career advancement and its worthwhile nature despite the time constraints, costs and intellectual effort. Patrick Noon found great value in the opportunity to mix with other managers from business and industry. Sue Clegg found that developing a more holistic and strategic approach to organizations has personal relevance and can promote development, opening out possible, future career moves.
