Almost all colleges and universities have had problems with regards to student retention. Administrators have continuously looked for ways to effectively manage their schools because of the fact that every year, there is a decrease in the number of students enrolling in their respective schools. Of course, there can be many personal factors involved as to why a student would want to drop out of their education. But whether it's about financial or social factors, the academic institution could definitely do much more for the student to help overcome their personal challenges.
An academic institution is primarily made up of educators and students .There is a symbiotic relationship that exists between the two. But there are still many unexplored avenues to make their relationship even better.To make it work, communication is key.
In any organization, just like academic institutions, the importance of communication can't be stressed enough. As a matter of fact, even the most basic situation where in a student has planned to leave a school can illustrate this clearly. Perhaps this student is having financial difficulties making it impossible for him to continue his education. If an open channel of communication exists between the two, the student does not have to quit school. He can continue studying and the school will make appropriate arrangements to make it work. So the student does not have to quit school because a compromise has been reached between him and the school altogether. This compromise allows the student to stay in school and pay his fees on a mutually agreeable basis. Of course, this can delay the schools profit but this is better than having only a few number of students in their enrollment list.
For this communication channel to be effective, it is important for administrators to see to it that those running the channel behave in an appropriate manner. This is because everything will just fail even if the system has been made almost perfectly tailored if the people involved aren't behaving correctly. Humans are emotional beings which means that we all have the desire to be heard and respected while understanding that the one at the other end also has his own needs. All human relationships rely on this.
After all, education is not just about increasing people's knowledge on the various disciplines. It is also about providing them a fertile ground for wisdom and growth from both educators' and students' sides. When it comes to making people stay, relationships have to be healthy, to make this possible, effective communication is the secret.

Google Display Network - III
Smart Pricing model
Google’s one-of-a-kind Smart Pricing model adjusts your price so that you always get to pay the lowest amount possible.
Flexible Pricing Options to Suit Your Needs
Google's unique auction pricing model allows to shows your ad only when your bid wins the auction for an available spot. Then it adjusts the price so that you never pay more than the minimum amount necessary and keep the savings.
If you're running simultaneous campaigns on both the search and display networks, you may want to set separate bids for each. The bidding feature makes this possible and helps you manage your budget to meet your specific advertising goals.
Choose the pricing model that's right for you:
Cost-per-click (CPC)
Pay only when someone clicks on your ad. If your goal is to drive traffic to a website, this is the right choice for you. The amount of your bid is a key factor in determining whether your ad is showing in the places where you want and increasing this bid can improve the chances that your ad will appear. If you choose automatic CPC bidding, you can simply set a daily budget of how much you’re willing to spend in one day and let Google technology bring you the most clicks possible. Or you can specify bids for each ad group, keyword, or placement with manual bidding.
Cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM)
Pay each time your ad is viewed, regardless of the clicks. Pricing is per one thousand views: a CPM of $10.00 means you pay one cent each time your ad is displayed ($.01 x 1,000 = $10.00). If you want to show your ad to as many people as possible and you care less about clicks, this may be the right choice for you. Each time you set up an ad group, you can enter a default maximum CPM bid, which is the most you're willing to pay for 1,000 impressions. You might consider bidding higher for CPM ads because it must compete with multiple CPC ads and CPM ads for an entire ad space.
Cost-per-acquisition (CPA)
Set a maximum CPA – the amount you're willing to pay for each conversion – and the Conversion Optimizer takes care of the rest, managing your bids so your ad shows in the auctions most likely to lead to conversions. If your goal is to drive online transactions, then this is the right choice for you.
Google Technology Automatically Saves You Money
Pay less for certain clicks with Smart Pricing
Google’s Smart Pricing automatically lowers the cost for clicks on pages in the Display Network that are less likely to convert into customers.
For example, if you sell tennis rackets you might pay less for a click from a tennis news site than from a site that reviews tennis equipment since people reading reviews are more likely to be buyers. Smart Pricing on the Display Network can help achieve a lower cost-per-conversion than on the Search Network.
Keep your costs down with AdWords Discounter
Your actual cost is typically less than the bids you set. This is in part because the AdWords Discounter monitors your competition to ensure you pay the lowest possible price to keep your ad's position on the page. After each auction is run and your ad is ranked, the AdWords Discounter adjusts your actual CPC so you pay the minimum amount required to exceed the rank of the next ranked ad.
Gain more for less with Conversion Optimizer
The Conversion Optimizer uses your AdWords Conversion Tracking data to get you more conversions at a lower cost. How?
Google technology finds your best auction placements —the ones most likely to turn into conversions for you. Then it adjusts those placements to get as many profitable clicks as possible.
Campaigns adopting the Conversion Optimizer achieve on an average a 21% increase in conversions while decreasing their CPA by 14%. This analysis compares the performance of the Conversion Optimizer campaigns with a controlled set of campaigns and represents the average impact of the Conversion Optimizer. The actual impact will vary from campaign to campaign (a small number of advertisers could conceivably perform better without the Conversion Optimizer).

Google Display Network No II
Above the Fold Advertising:
Want to stop wasting impressions?
Restrict your display ads to placements that appear completely on-screen regardless of the user’s web browser, monitor size, or screen resolution. By excluding the ‘below the fold’ category in your AdWords account, ads in your Google Display Network campaign will only appear when a placement displays fully upon page-load with no scrolling required to drive awareness and purchase consideration for your business.
Demographic Bidding:
Want to reach women? Or 20 year olds?
Demographic bidding helps you show your ad more frequently to certain age and gender groups. On some sites, you can pay to have your ads seen more often by specific groups, such as women aged 18-24 or people over 55.
Geographic and Language Targeting:
Want to reach English speakers worldwide or Spanish speakers in your city?
Geographic and language targeting lets you display your ad by region, postal code, and language. For example, you can choose to show your ad only to English or French speakers. If you're opening a new boutique in Manhattan, you can create a grand-opening offer to show just in the New York region.
Ad Scheduling:
Want your ad to appear before lunch on weekdays?
Ad scheduling lets you specify certain hours or days you want your ads to appear. For example, you might schedule your ads to run only on weekdays or from 3:00 until 6:00 p.m. daily. With ad scheduling, a campaign can run all day, every day, or as little as 15 minutes per week.
Frequency Capping:
Want to limit repeat viewings of your ads?
Frequency capping limits the number of times any individual can see your ad in one day, week or month. This can help your message reach a wider audience and not the same customers over and over.
Exclusions:
Want to avoid irrelevant and inappropriate sites?
To make sure your ads don't appear next to content that's inappropriate or a bad match, Google reviews Display Network websites via technology and also manually. You can also block your ads from competing sites or from places you find irrelevant to your business using the site and category exclusion tool.
Complete Control of Your Costs
You're always in control of your spending with the Google Display Network.
• Set your budget. Large or small, you determine how much you're willing to spend per day.
• Set the price for your results. Choose from various auction pricing models and select the maximum amount you'll pay for clicks or impressions.
• Change your mind any time. You can adjust your budget or maximum bids easily at any time, without penalties.

Powerful targeting technology puts your message in front of the right people at the right time for the most effectual impressions.
Contextual Targeting:
Want to let Google’s powerful engine find the right web pages for your ads?
Google scans millions of web pages analyzing text, language, links and page structure to make sure your ad finds the best audience. With contextual targeting, we use keywords and themes to find the right placements ie presenting your ads on Display Network web pages that are the most suitable match for your message.
Eg: If you sell digital cameras, your ads may show up on photography blogs or camera review sites. This puts your ads in front of an audience that is interested in your business and is more likely to take action.

Do you already know sites that your customers frequent? Placement targeting lets you put your message where you think it’s the best match for your business. You can show your ad on specific web pages, online videos, games, RSS feeds, and mobile sites that you select.
Contextual and Placement Targeting:
Want to pinpoint topics on certain websites?
Narrow your scope to reach specific types of customers on certain websites by using both contextual and placement targeting at once.

Want to reach people who’ve visited your website?
Remarketing allows you to communicate with people who’ve previously visited key pages on your website. This lets you match the right message with the right people.

How to Make Your Business Website Social Media Friendly
The benefits of social media and social networking as a form of marketing cannot be hailed enough. With today’s increase in technology, there is no faster way to reach a large number of customers on a more personal basis than through the use of social media sites.
Since the launch of Twitter, one of the most popular social media sites for business, it is estimated that Dell computers have sold over 2 million dollars worth of computers and laptops directly from the company’s Twitter feed. Followership and relationship building through social media translates into sales and increases the revenue for those businesses who know how to utilize these resources effectively.
Many companies are now even hiring full time social media coordinators to communicate with their followers and post updates and comments to their social networking feeds. However, one thing is for certain, social media would not be effective if it weren’t for friends, fans, and followers who are interested in the posts, updates, and feeds of these companies. One excellent way to increase your followers and to spread the word about your business and get others interested in your website is to incorporate all of your social media accounts into your website.
Many design sites out there have a number of embeddable codes that allow you to display icons that link directly to your Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace accounts, as well as a number of other social media sites as well.
Social bookmarking is another form of social media that is tremendously beneficial for any business website. When you write content or an article for your site that is interesting to others, they can tweet about it or bookmark it on popular social bookmarking sites like Stumble Upon or Digg to spread the word to their friends. This can immensely help drive even more traffic to your site and also help to improve your sites search engine rankings, which then becomes an eternally evolving method of generating traffic and increasing revenue and sales.
In addition, Facebook fan pages and Facebook groups are also great ways to spread the word and reach a large number of people about your business or products. It can also be beneficial for generating feedback and hosting group conversations about what your company does and what other people feel is important about it. While many of these tasks can be done easily by yourself, there are times when hiring a social media consultant can be beneficial for helping you to achieve the desired results from your social media campaigns, particularly if you are less technologically inclined or want to launch a large campaign to get things off the ground quickly.
One thing is for sure, social media is one important aspect of business. Marketing and social interaction are here to stay and experts estimate that for the next 20-30 years,businesses will be dominated by internet and the opportunities that social media creates.

Versatility In Education – IV
I must say that the last few days have flooded me with a plethora of information pertaining to teaching or learning online. It is imperative at this juncture to acknowledge the professors, the techies of the incubator center, and the research scholars all from IIM Bangalore, who have been patient enough to explain to me how online education works. I am reminded of what Mr. Kettering said “People are very open-minded about new things – as long as they’re exactly like the old ones” We had a hearty laugh at that specific line and were indulging in the pleasures of victuals until it actually occurred to me on what I was doing, which was exactly the same thing. I was shutting myself out of learning about the online education because it never conformed to the norm that I knew all along. Education was ‘brick & mortar’ and maybe ‘correspondence’ but online how? How many emails do I get for every lesson? Well, I guess I have indicated how naive I was with this and now its ‘settling scores’ let me show you how much I have learnt in the last few days. It’s a whole new world and before starting to praise the new found learning I have decided to enroll myself in a online program to reap the benefits.
My biggest problem was that I am stuck catering to the demands of my professional life for about 12 hours every day and have to traverse traffic for about 2 hours. When I am finally done with all that and reach home there was only one learning left to do, which side of bed do I crash? There was not a program of study that I could do at 11.00 pm. Yes I could study a while then but no place to go and study (no, night school is not an option for I need advanced learning options). This Online education sounds like a plan to say the least. I am intentionally avoiding the term ‘new’ for I am given to understand that it is not new but has been implemented for a while now, close to 10 years, beat that all along I was living like a frog in the well blissfully unaware of the whole process. For me online started with e-mails and went offline immediately right after.
There are numerous courses that are available online for all levels of learning, associate degrees, bachelors, masters, even Phd’s. With so much available there will also be a bunch of folks just waiting to lighten your wallets and make a quick buck out of you quickly become a fool of sorts. So please be wary of ‘non accredited’ degrees and/or fake degrees that are available, the technical term used for something you should avoid is “degree mill”. I will detail in my next post the online process with as much as I know and in the meanwhile to give you an idea of what a genuine online MBA degree is, you can look at the Andrew Jackson University. I will also add more names as I learn more about then and am sure that they are genuine. I mentioned this one name because they also have a strategic partnership with an enterprise in India and hence can be physically met if needed.

I am intentionally avoiding the term ‘new’ for I am given to understand that it is not new but has been implemented for a while now, close to 10 years, beat that all along I was living like a frog in the well blissfully unaware of the whole process. For me online started with e-mails and went offline immediately right after.
There are numerous courses that are available online for all levels of learning, associate degrees, bachelors, masters, even Phd’s. With so much available there will also be a bunch of folks just waiting to lighten your wallets and make a quick buck out of you quickly become a fool of sorts. So please be wary of ‘non accredited’ degrees and/or fake degrees that are available, the technical term used for something you should avoid is “degree mill”. I will detail in my next post the online process with as much as I know and in the meanwhile to give you an idea of what a genuine online MBA degree is, you can look at the Andrew Jackson University. I will also add more names as I learn more about then and am sure that they are genuine. I mentioned this one name because they also have a strategic partnership with an enterprise in India and hence can be physically met if needed.
Versatility in Education – III
The paradigm of education has always been looked at as a one way street (i.e.) What our mentor has to offer to us. How can we in the true sense of the word “Know” what is being told? What does it mean to know is a question in itself, in a MBA program everybody hears terms such as SWOT analysis, PESTEL etc is knowing just what SWOT stands for and what needs to be filled in each column? If that is so then what is hearing, understanding or even comprehending? To say “I know something” is to accept great responsibility of being able to mentor based on that and actually accepting that we know without stopping to learn.
More often than not, we hear about all this in class in the case of conventional education, books in the case of correspondence education and are mentored in the online classroom. Can we at that point in time hear what is being said, relate it to something that we have done in the past, and to learn how differently we could have done something if we were equipped with this new found knowledge. If we can get past doing all this and do the entire process more than a few times then perhaps we are a step closer to knowing.
Characteristically when we work we implement what we know that is what we think is perhaps the best perspective, when we learn we acquire new perspectives, even great ideas which sad but truly are not implementing right away and then the spark dies. So the value addition of practicing while learning is eliminated. To quote Albert Einstein who said “The only source of knowledge is experience”, in perspective can we use the information we learn while being educated in the University of Life and at about the same time implement it with work to have “knowledge” or for us to be able to know. Most traditional forms of education do not offer to us the flexibility of being able to implement what we learn as and when we learn it.
I have been reading and have been impressed by the new methods of learning “Online” sounds like a plan. We have the doyens of the industry contributing to the industry on the likes of Jack Welch. Jack Welch has initiated his own program, so has Brian Tracy so has Ken Blanchard. What draws these management gurus to actually do all of this? In the previous post we discussed about the luminaries spreading the ‘Cheer of knowledge’, lo and behold we have it here. These distinguished personnel are leveraging on the world space (no, not the radio) but the internet. A global platform, a world leader, an established ‘guru’ brilliant! If this doesn’t sound like a plan then what else will. Online education is perhaps what the Wright brother did to travel, what ford did to automation. Will there be a method, a process, a something better than this? Perhaps yes but as of now this stands as the most likely success scenario for these luminaries to teach all of us. I am due to read and have more discussions with some of the leading brains in the industry from entrepreneurs who have taken cognizance of this to the professors, some from the IIM. All excited that I am about the prospect of learning so many things about this from them, will update this blog most likely sooner than expected.

A Slice of BPO Every Day!
So you think that the BPO is something that is miles away from you, geographically and figuratively? Think again! Many of us are not aware how call centers touch our lives on a daily basis. It's there to bail you out of close situations when nothing seems to be working for you. It helps you get movie tickets when you thought that the last ticket to the latest chartbuster was sold hours ago. In other words, answering service centers are quietly making a difference to your life and mine silently, but steadily. Let us examine more closely how the telemarketing agents you so aggressively ignore are actually helping you out in more ways than one.
Stanley Keith was beset with financial trouble. He was frantically looking at any way in which he could consolidate his rising debt. He was going through the Internet looking for some help online. He came across a website which had a number that he could call. In due time, he was on his way to debt recovery and he could never stop thanking the concerned voice on the other end of the phone who helped him out. That is the power of the BPO today. Call center services are right around the corner to help you. You may feel that you are way out of their reach. But the reality is, you could save yourself a lot of trouble if you avail answering service facilities.
Take for example, Rozanne Darkins. She was worried about setting up a home security network at her home. Some friend suggested an online company which would get the job done. She called up the number. The answering service agent heard her out and suggested various options that were suited to her budget and needs. BPO firms solve such problems on a daily basis. There are callers asking for different types of help. It may be that you need an appointment with the doctor. It may be that you want to book tickets to the opera. It could be that you want to take your pet to the vet. The call center always comes into play.
Call center is the future of customer care services. Business firms have realized that the best possible way to keep customers happy and satisfied with after-sales service is to hire a BPO firm to deal with it. The answering service team has the required arsenal in its armory to establish a base of active, loyal customers. As a customer, you get all the benefits at the convenience of a call. The best part about this win-win situation is that it covers so many aspects of life. You name it and you can find a business outsourcing firm working relentless round the clock to provide you with the required services. It comes as no surprise then that customers are now aware that telemarketing is here to stay. They are now more open to the idea of calling for services than say about a couple of years ago.

Business Process Outsourcing Goes Rural
Although the concept of business process outsourcing has evolved in the urban areas but it is slowly making its way towards the villages. BPO firms are constantly thriving in different rural areas of South India and in the years to come they will experience a considerable growth. The BPO sector of India first caught the eyes of the people living in the four metropolitan cities of the country- Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, and even the NCR region. Outsourcing of business process was entirely an unknown concept in the rural areas until the recent times. With times changing, focus has shifted on the functioning of call centers in rural areas.
The origin of rural BPO firms can be traced back to their establishment in parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh backed up by some giant IT concerns. Till then proper infrastructure and technology were not available for setting up BPO companies in those regions. But today, technology and infrastructure is no more a barrier for the development of the rural BPO industry. Besides, the cost of work space in the urban areas are increasing on a constant basis which is pushing people to set up their call center business in the interior locations of the country. The worldwide economic downfall has caused the companies to reduce their costs, a greater portion of which is involved in the salary of the workers. The rural call centers involve less expense in comparison to their urban counterparts since the employees there work at relatively lower wages.
Recession is compelling the multi-national companies to search for domestic BPO markets; while on the other hand, the multinationals are encouraging the growth of rural call centers. The rural BPO sector cannot be turned into a complete international market since they are not getting the right kind of exposure. But very soon they will be able to catch up with the urban market. Frequent interactions between the rural call centers and their customers will help them in developing an adequate set of skills that are sufficient for the existing customer support centers. Besides, the level of attrition in the rural BPO agencies is relatively lesser than that of their urban counterparts. The reason behind it is that people from similar villages come to work in the company and guarantee a better commitment to the company. Switching off from jobs is a rare possibility with these employees.
The rural call centers enjoy the privilege functioning with dedicated professional who are well qualified in their job. This helps them in creating a better customer relationship that is considered essential for their business. Previously the rural sector of the BPO industry would mostly deal with data entry operations. But nowadays they are also handling voice based regional processes and low-end international processes as well. The growth of business process outsourcing in the suburbs is getting hindered due to a couple of factors. Firstly, the training of the employees and continuous supply of power involve high operational costs. These minor obstacles will soon move out of their way and the industry will continue to flourish in rural areas of the country.

The Skinny on an Online MBA in Accounting
Going for an online MBA means that you are wanting further training in an Accounting field - probably for some kind of management position, or for a managerial enhancement. The opportunities to pursue the accounting MBA online can be accomplished through different methods. Here is the skinny on an online MBA in accounting.
There are basically two ways to go online with an online education, one enables you to take the classes at your own leisure; and the other way is to take the classes in a real time situation by going online and logging in to the classroom. While the first method permits you to study at your own leisure, the second is traditional in its time requirements.
Make Sure of Accreditation
Unless you only desire to take a couple of classes, it is a real good idea to look thoroughly at the accreditation of the University offering the MBA. Many schools today only have the appearance of being real - especially the online ones, that you do not want to take any chances with so expensive an education. You do not want to make any assumptions, either.
Courses of Study
The MBA in Accounting courses offer a degree of specialization, as it should. One area that you want to look for, as it is in high demand today, and will only get bigger in the near future, is in the accounting information systems. Many organizations are developing business information systems (also called knowledge management), that deal with purchasing, online transactions - from their clients, etc. This means that you might not want to take courses that meet only the general MBA requirements, but you may want to look toward the future.
Other up-to-date courses should involve such things as advanced techniques in costing, information systems of accounting, strategic planning, information management, corporate taxation, budgeting, and more.
Finish With Certification
Your hard-earned MBA should lead you to be able to be certified. A quality University will meet the minimum state requirements that will lead to certification in one of the following possibilities: certified public accountant (CPA); certified management accounting (CMA); and certified in financial management (CFM) or chartered financial analyst (CFA) certification. While one school may not provide all of them, it should allow for you to meet the requirements for one, or more.

How to Get yourself Fast Certified MBA Degree at Home
There are some people who are skeptical about online MBA degree program. Getting a certified MBA degree can be fast and it is suitable for people who are working in full-time basis. Before the blooming of e-learning era, it was indeed difficult for people who wanted to pursue a degree in part-time basis. There were only a few distance learning programs back then but it is much simpler now as we can pursue online education at home. Online education is cost-efficient and less time-consuming as it has increases numbers of graduates over the past few years.
Since online education had been implemented after the birth of Web 2.0, it had raised several doubts among us whether the online courses were offered by accredited online universities . There were indeed several fraudulent cases such as getting fast certification within short period of time. Today, there are several business schools which offer fast MBA course within four-to-five months. If you think you are capable to handle stress within this short duration of study, just go ahead with it. As long you are fully prepared, short duration of study is not become a issue for you.
I strongly advise that you need to be fully prepared even though you are under full-time employment. If you could not cope with the hectic schedules between work and study, it is preferable that you take a longer duration of study. Averagely, this online degree program only lasted between one-to-two years. Remember; make use of the time to review on what you have learned. Therefore, you must always allocate more time for revision.
Online MBA indeed is more expensive than conventional study mode. It is worth the investment if you want to hasten up the learning process. You might need to pay higher tuition fees for fast online degree program.
Please do not misunderstand that getting a fast degree means it is a shortcut towards a successful career. Adapting to the world of business needs more time and effort in order to have a successful career. In this case, fresh MBA graduates will have to undergo an internship - as it may be included in your study program. Internship is important as you can accumulate real life experiences in certain business fields. Excel your studies with great exposure of the challenging environment of business. This enables you to look at different perspectives of achieving your personal goals.

Distance Learning: Mba Through Distance Education
Distance learning or distance education has become a highly advantageous option for the people who can not attend regular classes or lectures due to a variety of reasons like time, work and other commitments. A good course, completed through distance learning, has proved to be beneficial for many working executives to ascend the ladder of success in their organizations. Distance learning is a type of education where the student does not have to be present physically; instead, he/she can communicate with the teacher through any of the channels available today and that too at his/her convenience. For instance, the student can clarify his/her doubts through e-mail, chat, phone, or simply posting the question on the university website's student's page.
Distance learning is becoming more and more popular everyday. With increasing number of institutes offering multiple courses through different universities. Among all these distance learning courses, the most popular is, of course, the Master of Business Administration. Better known as MBA.

What to Consider Before Deciding to Go to Business School
Consideration #1: Do I Need To Go To Business School?
Yes, a Master of Business Administration is a nifty thing to have, but it will also cost you in terms of time and money. Before you decide to go to business school, make sure that you need and/or want to go. Whether you're just starting a career or are in the process of developing one, think about where you would like to be in life. Then ask yourself: will an MBA help me get there? How can you determine this? Probably the number one answer is find some role models. Look at the people you admire, find people who are doing what you would one day like to be doing. Did they get an MBA? If you can, contact them, and find out if they think an MBA is a wise next step for you at this point in your life. You might find out that you don't need to go to do what you want to do, for example, or that you should go, but that you should put in a few years of work at your current job before you go on to apply.
Consideration #2: What Area of Business Management Do I Want To Master?
Once you've made up your mind that B School is indeed the path for you, you should also ask yourself what area you would like to specialize in. In addition to the general business Master of Business Administration degree, there are countless specializations you might consider. Are you an accounting and finance person? There's an MBA made just for you. Other specializations include information technology management, media and entertainment, risk management, global commerce, e-commerce, and human resources. To determine which specialization is right for you, again, look to your role models. Also, ask yourself what you're interested in, what you could see yourself being involved with (possibly) for the rest of your career. Another aid in the decision making process when it comes to which MBA specialization you choose is your current job situation. If you are in human resources right now and love it, for example, then perhaps the way to make the next step up the corporate ladder is to get an MBA with a human resources concentration.
Consideration #3: Can I Get Someone Else To Pay For My Business School?
If you are the putative human resources professional in the paragraph above, or in a similar situation, perhaps in the information systems or accounting department, your Master of Business Administration degree might be extremely affordable -- even free. Many employers encourage their staff to pursue educational and personal development opportunities because as you improve, so will your performance at the company, and by extension, the company's performance. Check your human resources manual or your benefits package information. You might be eligible for tuition remission, whereby you pay for a class upfront and your employer reimburses you for it after you successfully complete it. Some employers will even pay for the classes as you go.

Put Your Business Career into the Passing Lane with an Online MBA Degree
I remember the excitement that my MBA classmates shared with me while recruiters fawned over them making job offers that could lead to fast-track business careers. Naturally, everyone wanted either to eventually own a business or become the CEO of a business. The best that most new MBAs could hope for immediately, however, was to gain a place in a training program that would lead to an executive position or to become a consultant to senior management in a business.
It was a big commitment to earn a Harvard MBA to become a businessman. You had to live in the Boston area, work long hours every week, not earn much money for two years, and pay lots of tuition fees and expenses. Many classmates graduated with large loans that took many years to repay. Most people figured that they would finally be ahead of the game financially within five to ten years . . . or so they hoped.
Gaining the choice to make that big time and financial commitment was hard, too. Many more applicants were rejected than accepted in those days (it's even more difficult to gain a place at Harvard now).
If you were over a certain age, you probably wouldn't even consider taking this route. Why? The companies hiring from Harvard then were looking for relatively young talent with no more than five years of experience.
If you weren't a person with an undergraduate degree from a prestigious university or someone who had excelled in the military, you probably didn't even apply for admission into Harvard Business School. The odds against your acceptance were staggering.
To many people it seemed like the fast track to business success was a very narrow lane that was closed to them.
Fortunately, optimists abound among those who want to have good business careers. Many feel that if they can get a chance to prove themselves, they will stand out.
Experience supports this confidence: If we look at the leaders of many of the most successful companies, these people didn't go through any hard-to-acquire educational experiences. These leaders proved themselves to be capable of getting things done on the job . . . not in the classroom.
Today, the fast track to a successful business career, a passing lane that puts you ahead of other people, is still an MBA . . . but increasingly that MBA is gained from an online school and is earned by someone who has at least twenty years of work experience and is holding down a full-time job. That combination of work and study used to be called "working your way through school" but now it has become the best way to get a practical education: You are able to use what you learn in school during your day job. This means faster advancement in a current job while gaining lots of experience in applying new learning to your work.
What are some of the benefits of this approach?
1. You gain credibility: Not everyone has an MBA degree.
2. You are considered for higher level jobs because you have a good education and lots of experience.
3. You arrive in your next job ready to do the work, rather than needing a lot more training.
4. Doing a good job in your first post-MBA position qualifies you for quick advancement into more senior positions.
5. You are likely to gain an earlier opportunity to build a substantial equity stake in your new employer.
Let's look at Mr. Ralph R. Richey, a 2006 MBA graduate of Rushmore University (an online school) as an example of what can be done to help your business career. While in high school, Mr. Richey was accepted into a two-year apprentice program to become an electronic technician. After that, his curiosity about business led him to take courses in bookkeeping and management.
In the late 1970s and the 1980s, Mr. Richey decided to try a different life style and founded a music studio and a martial arts studio. He also fronted for a rock band, earned a music teacher's certificate, and taught both music and martial arts. Having burned the proverbial candle at both ends while single, he decided to go back into a more conventional career after marrying.
During the 1980s, Mr. Richey owned or managed several companies offering fire and security alarms. He also developed an interest in Computer-Aided Design and took courses to become qualified to work in that emerging technology activity.
In the 1990s, he shifted to finance and helped raise millions of dollars for a high-tech marine manufacturing company. In the 2000s, he switched his expertise into raising money for real estate development and had the misfortune to attract a fraudulent lending company which didn't meet its commitments. That misfire set him back, and he refocused his attention again.
Mr. Richey decided to go into technology management, looking for a senior level position. People didn't take him seriously because he lacked a business degree.
Spurred by that realization, he enrolled at Rushmore in early 2005 and graduated less than two years later while holding down a demanding full-time job. He picked Rushmore because he would get credit for 30 years of work experience, would study under experienced executives as his professors, and would have a chance to apply his learning to his job.
At the time he enrolled, Mr. Richey hoped to use his MBA studies to either start a successful technology consulting business or to be hired as a senior executive in an established technology company with a six-figure salary.
How did he do after graduation?
His first job was a four-week temporary assignment to be the controller for a division of a construction company consortium that paid within his target salary range. Within 18 months, he advanced to become the full-time CFO of the entire consortium. Candidly, he feels that he wouldn't have even landed an interview for his current job without his MBA degree form Rushmore.
Mr. Richey reports that "I have a new sense of personal satisfaction from earning my degree, which in turn has provided a new sense of financial security."
Imagine where Mr. Richey's career might be today if he had earned that MBA degree twenty years earlier.
What's the lesson? The passing lane that can speed you into a highly successful career is available through earning a low-cost, online MBA degree while you keep your current job. You gain a lot of upside potential at little cost in time and effort.
Are you ready to accelerate your career progress?

He also fronted for a rock band, earned a music teacher's certificate, and taught both music and martial arts. Having burned the proverbial candle at both ends while single, he decided to go back into a more conventional career after marrying.
During the 1980s, Mr. Richey owned or managed several companies offering fire and security alarms. He also developed an interest in Computer-Aided Design and took courses to become qualified to work in that emerging technology activity.
In the 1990s, he shifted to finance and helped raise millions of dollars for a high-tech marine manufacturing company. In the 2000s, he switched his expertise into raising money for real estate development and had the misfortune to attract a fraudulent lending company which didn't meet its commitments. That misfire set him back, and he refocused his attention again.
Mr. Richey decided to go into technology management, looking for a senior level position. People didn't take him seriously because he lacked a business degree.
Spurred by that realization, he enrolled at Rushmore in early 2005 and graduated less than two years later while holding down a demanding full-time job. He picked Rushmore because he would get credit for 30 years of work experience, would study under experienced executives as his professors, and would have a chance to apply his learning to his job.
At the time he enrolled, Mr. Richey hoped to use his MBA studies to either start a successful technology consulting business or to be hired as a senior executive in an established technology company with a six-figure salary.
How did he do after graduation?
His first job was a four-week temporary assignment to be the controller for a division of a construction company consortium that paid within his target salary range. Within 18 months, he advanced to become the full-time CFO of the entire consortium. Candidly, he feels that he wouldn't have even landed an interview for his current job without his MBA degree form Rushmore.
Mr. Richey reports that "I have a new sense of personal satisfaction from earning my degree, which in turn has provided a new sense of financial security."
Imagine where Mr. Richey's career might be today if he had earned that MBA degree twenty years earlier.
What's the lesson? The passing lane that can speed you into a highly successful career is available through earning a low-cost, online MBA degree while you keep your current job. You gain a lot of upside potential at little cost in time and effort.
Are you ready to accelerate your career progress?
