Unique Value Proposition

Logan Park, the home of Otago Cricket, is situated two
blocks from the Otago MBA programme.

Well, our core programme has ended and the students have moved on to phase two.  Time exists to focus on our new student candidates and to offer a feel for life in Dunedin.  I'll share photographs of the local area with each post to reduce the psychological distance of moving to the bottom of the world, but you can access more photos on Flickr.  

Our students enjoy a high quality of life while here in Dunedin and it isn't surprising that about 20 percent choose to stay in New Zealand.  Nonetheless, our value proposition remains focused on advancing your career in the global economy.  

This value proposition carries two meanings: (1) a noticeable transformation occurs in our students as they meet the challenge we place before them and at about month six they interact with us, the MBA management team and lecturers, with confidence and as equals; moreover (2) we use the phase two, BUSI 540 professional consulting engagement as a platform for our students to gain access to the right industry, right corporation (or nongovernmental organization - NGO) and right professional network.  I'll have much more to say about our Live Cases and BUSI 540 in future posts, but you can learn more about this experience and our students' accomplishments here.

Incidentally, it is the transformation of our students from students to peers/equals

 that underlies the lasting friendship we share thereafter.
