7. 7 Things to think about Formats – do you prefer learning in one week or spreading it out over time? Location – what suits you best? What time commitments do you have? Can you travel? What about the extra costs? Broad or focused portfolio - do you want to focus on one particular area in depth? Would you rather explore a topic that is completely outside your previous learning? Do you want to fill in an area of weakness? Do you want to take a class simply because it interests you? Schedule - which classes fit best with your work and personal commitments? How can you maximize your time? Work issues – when can you take time off work? Ask yourself the following: What do I want to do after EMBA-Global Asia? What skills/knowledge will I need for the next phase of my career? Which electives will enhance my personal marketability? Which courses/subject areas interest me most?
