My MBA Journey So Far

I started writing about my "MBA journey" in a section called Ameel's MBA Journal on my website. Relevant from that are the following:

To quickly recap, though, these are the courses that I have taken so far:

  • World of Management (core) with Paul Dainty
  • Accounting for Managers (core) with Jim Frederickson
  • Data and Decisions (core) with Chris Lloyd
  • Financial Management (core) with Sam Wylie
  • Managerial Economics (core) with John Asker
  • Managing People for High Performance (core) with Carol Gill
  • Business Strategy (core) with Doug Dow
  • Economics and Public Policy (core) with Ian Harper & Mark Crosby
  • Managing Processes (core) with Kannan Sethuraman
  • Marketing (core) with Jody Evans
  • Corporate Finance (elective) with Ning Gong

And these are the ones that I am taking now:

  • E-Commerce (elective) with Pat Auger
  • Information Strategy (elective) with Pat Auger
  • Leadership and Change (elective) with Amanda Sinclair
  • Negotiations (elective) with John Onto
  • Implementation of Strategy (elective) with Jack Goodwin

I am 5 weeks into this study term (all study terms are 12 weeks long) and my first three courses have already started. The last two are second-half intensives -- i.e. taught in half the time with double the number of classes per week -- and will start on Friday.

Now that I've set the scene, I can start talking about what we're doing in each of the courses I'm taking right now. I will do this in future posts, of course, and not all in this one!
