In Tokyo, many businesspeople are looking to re-invent themselves in the economy by getting a M.B.A. One question has come to the mind for these businesspeople "How much will I be worth after I receive my degree?" In Japan, sometimes these businesspeople do not know if their value will increase at all in the economy. Most companies have been known to look doubtfully at such an accomplishment, and sometimes places M.B.A. recipients in unrelated fields, or trying to re-acclimate their Japanese employees who have been overseas for many years earning a degree. There are two major facts that have made people in Japan seek for a better degree: A weak economy has pushed more professional to seek degrees and certificates to improve their job prospects and big Japanese companies have stop sponsoring expensive overseas degrees the way they once did for their employees. Some companies believe that you can learn more and have more knowledge of the business by working the business then you can by begin in a classroom.
As I read this article, I felt as though the country should look at its businesspeople who are trying to receive a higher degree as a gain for the economy. These businesspeople could be an asset to many of these companies global, by having knowledge of another countries business could help bring in more business for this companies within Japan. I am happy to know that some business schools are working to make their M.B.A. degrees more relevant to those companies' perceptions. These business schools are coming to realize that it does take more than a degree to have knowledge of a particular business. Having hands on experience gives these business professional more in site and the companies can see if they have what it takes to get the job done.
