The employment scenario for the management graduates is brightest for the premier institutes. Top companies, multinationals, financial institutions, and banks wait eagerly to sign them up even before they have completed their programme, on the basis of their ongoing performance, academic record and performance in the campus interviews. The number of service industry management jobs is likely to be high compared to the number of good-producing industry jobs. All managers plan, organise and control the major functions of an organisation-be it the automobile manufacturer, the department store, the local bank branch or the CEO of the MNC.

The spread of job opportunities of an MBA spans many industries and varied organisations. With the vast range of jobs under its purview it is impossible to generalize about prospects. However, one thing is certain that there is a serious shortage of good managers although the entry to management jobs remains very competitive.

Progress in any sector of the economy would automatically require professional managers to handle the growth-hence the need for management graduates will continue to be felt.

Once you obtain your desired job, you should still be applying the techniques and approaches learned on the MBA to ensuring that you do your job effectively and that your career needs are met. Application to job content is obvious but the same goes to your own career management and achievement of your life objectives.

Think about your objectives at intervals. Take action if you feel that it is not satisfactory. Accept the idea of continuing education as a way of life all your life. You need not take formal course work for this, but make it your style to read, watch educational programmes on the TV and attend industry meetings where new trends surface. Just as you work to keep fit, get into the habit of doing an information workout on a regular basis. If you want to lead in the 21st century, learn to handle money and to manage technology. If you have mastered one, pick up the other during evening or weekend studies. Money and technology are an unbeatable combination.
