Abstract:
After a period of prosperity that the MBA degree has realized, the 90s
seem to be a decade that threatens the essence of such degree. The notion that
an MBA is crucial for the operation of any company is beginning to fade
away.
This research gIves clear information, from both the academic and
business sectors, about the MBA degree and its usefulness to the Lebanese
market.
The universities are producing a fine quality of MBAs who proved to
be knowledgeable and efficient at work. Moreover, they proved to be at the
same standard, and in some cases better than, those graduating from abroad.
However, some companies are not encouraging these students. They offer
them the same salary and position as any other employee who does not have
an MBA degree.
A link must be made between the academic sector and the busines
sector through which the universities can provide the companies with
employees who can operate according to their needs.
