Pursuing an MBA or a Business Masters degree is a smart move if you're aspiring to reach the top post in your company. In fact you need more than just hard work and loyalty to reach the peak. Today companies look for individuals who posses the ability to communicate, resolve conflicts and handle challenges in a competitive work environment. IPMA Academic Advisor & Council Member, Professor Sattar Bawany, elaborate this theme during the presentation as a Guest Speaker at the Kaplan's Education Seminar in Singapore on 15th September 2007. Kaplan is one of the world’s leading providers of lifelong education with operations around the globe.
