Mannheim vs WHU


Posted Apr 06, 2024 21:07

I've got 2 years of engineering experience alongside a few years in sales. I'm looking to transition into a different industry (business development).

I'm pondering between my two options, WHU and Mannheim. I've looked deep into it and have found it hard to decide between the two. They're pretty even in many ways, and where they are not, the other option offers something that one is lacking but not across a big enough amount of areas. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

What other industry do you want to do business development in? Geographically, where do you want to be? Why take an MBA if you don't want a general management role?

I thought an MBA might be a good way to transition careers into business development or marketing, since that's not my field, but maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way (?). Thanks

Isn't business development selling to established customers? Why would an MBA not overqualified you?
