Case Study: MBA Schools in Asia-Pacific
QNT/561 Version 9
University of Phoenix Material
Case Study: MBA Schools in Asia-Pacific
The pursuit of a higher education degree in business is now international. A survey shows more and more
Asians choose the master of business administration (MBA) degree route to corporate success. As a
result, the number of applicants for MBA courses at Asia-Pacific schools continues to increase.
Across the region, thousands of Asians show an increasing willingness to temporarily shelve their careers
and spend two years in pursuit of a theoretical business qualification. Courses in these schools are
notoriously tough and include statistics, economics, banking, marketing, behavioral sciences, labor
relations, decision making, strategic thinking, business law, and more.
After your MBA, you get a job at Bloomberg in its media division, Bloomberg Business. Your division
publishes reviews and rankings for business schools in the US and internationally. Because of your
strong analytical education from University of Phoenix, your boss assigns you to work on preparing an
analysis for data gathered for leading business schools in the Asia-Pacific. The data set in the Excel® file
shows some of the characteristics of the leading Asia-Pacific business schools.
