The profile of the student and the program are not the only difference between Master and MBA. In addition to the points of divergence that are most commonly mentioned when comparing both types of higher education, salary and professional opportunities, there is a criterion that can help many people to choose between these two specializations.



It is a difference between Master and MBA that is obvious when comparing the syllabus of both options and is, perhaps, one of the examples that best illustrates the different that one and another training can become. And it is that, although in the MBA is not an area that is addressed in depth, in the Masters in Management or Management, the focus is on Human Resources.

Human resources: the difference between Master and MBA
Although a general approach is sufficient to cover the issues related to strategy and personnel management in many MBA programs, the same does not occur in a Master’s degree.

The MBA only seeks to provide the student enough knowledge to be able to perform in this area within a variety of practical situations, but the Master deepens and gives a much more complete view of HR management, providing the theoretical framework necessary to gain understanding.



It is not a difference between Master and MBA that is reduced to the teaching style, the content of the program or the opportunities to develop the knowledge of the subject, but it is a matter of weight, which is given in the curriculum to a subject such as Human Resources and its management.

The Master focuses on an area, which can be the Human Resources Management or Business Management, for example, while the MBA brings a global knowledge of business aimed at professionals and oriented to practice, focusing on business in general.

Taking all this into account and once the difference between Master and MBA is clear, at the time of choosing the path that will be followed to continue forming, it is necessary to evaluate:

If you already have some professional experience or not, since, in the latter case, the MBA may not be a realistic option. To take a Master’s degree, you do not normally need to prove that you are an active professional or certain experience in a sector or position.

If the objective is to work in the HR area or submit the application for a specific HR vacancy; since, the level of specialized knowledge that the Master provides would make the balance inclined for this alternative. The proportion of specific HR subjects that are taught in an MBA are much lower than those that can be offered in a Master in People Management, for example.
If you are clear that the knowledge you need can be obtained from a Master. You know where you should go to grow, improve and become a more complete and prepared professional. When the MBA does not provide what you are looking for, you should evaluate other alternatives. There are many



The difference between Master and MBA, on paper, can consist of several salary figures or a wider range of job opportunities. However, in real life you have the last word and you are the one who must trace your own path. Do you already know what it is that excites you? What is the profession where you see yourself working in 1 year, in 5 or in 10? How will you get there, Master or MBA?

What is an MBA in the 21st century?
The MBA (Master in Business Administration) continues to be one of the most valued options of professional specialization. Moreover, in recent years there has been an increase in the interest of professionals in the area or even others who in principle have nothing to do with business and administration.

The qualification is more important than ever. The number of professionals who currently have access to training of this type or similar has increased considerably in recent times, which means that it is necessary to have good tools to compete.
In the current market, companies demand from their workers or candidates the highest levels of training. They look for leaders, but also more than that: they want people capable of adapting to the new context and of managing companies efficiently

Will Geoghegan and Trent Williams of Indiana Kelley teach in the school’s KelleyDirect online program

Ask the business school teachers who teach MBA students in traditional and virtual classrooms if they prefer one or the other and get some interesting answers.

 What is it like to teach in an online MBA program? Is it so rewarding for a teacher to work with students through the Internet instead of a physical class? Is it more difficult to teach business in a virtual environment? How to lead a case study discussion in an online class?

We recently posed these and many more challenging questions to two faculty members at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, Trent Williams and Will Geoghegan, and we got some surprising answers recently.


 FROM THE DARK DAYS CHATROOMS ROOMS AND DISCUSSION TO LIVE ONLINE CLASSES AND IMMERSIONS IN PERSON

Geoghegan, an assistant professor of administration and entrepreneurship, has been teaching online courses for almost a decade, beginning with what he calls “the dark days of chat rooms and discussion forums.”

Williams, an assistant professor also in administration and entrepreneurship, is a relative recently arrived at the online academy, who recently completed his first year in the virtual classroom.

In KelleyDirect’s online offering in Indiana, both teach J501 Developing Strategic Capabilities, the seven-week program strategy course that provides the basic strategy frameworks employed by companies around the world and employs cases in such popular businesses as Tesla, Warby Parker, Spotify, Lego, Trader Joe’s and Pixar.

The biggest misperception about online teaching is that it is largely about wandering through a recording studio, recording your classes, pressing play and walk way.

“I think some people assume you’re going to record your videos and then maybe update them ten years later,” says Williams. “That assumption is incorrect, we think about how we can use video to communicate the information that is best communicated in that format.

‘STUDENT DELIVERIES ARE NOT IN A BLACK HOLE OR NOT BE GRADUATED BY A TA’

Bitcoin fell more than 10% yesterday (June 11) to its lowest price in two months, after a relatively small crypto exchange in South Korea reported a hack. The crash widens bitcoin’s year-to-date losses to as much as 50%, wiping about $120 billion off its market value this year.

Bitcoin crashed after another crypto exchange got hacked
Coinrail, which is among the world’s top 100 crypto exchanges by trading volume, said in a statement that some of the lesser-known cryptocurrencies, such as NPXS, belonging to its users were stolen by hackers. It said it had frozen the tokens that were stolen and halted all trading across the exchange to help with a police investigation.

Although Coinrail didn’t specify the value of the heist, a wallet address that has been linked to the alleged attacker appeared to have stolen more than $40 million worth of cryptocurrency, TechCrunch noted.


Other major cryptocurrencies including ethereum and ripple also tumbled, with about $45 billion wiped off the total crypto-market value in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

About $1.1 billion worth of cryptocurrency has been stolen by hackers in the first half of this year, according to a recent report from cybersecurity company Carbon Black.

The price plunges were also linked to a report on Friday from the Wall Street Journal (paywall) that US regulators are investigating four major crypto exchanges, including Coinbase and Bitstamp, for price manipulation.

All markets have their own complexities and odd wrinkles, but bitcoin has a special array of oddities. I spoke to a range of institutional traders, exchange owners, and informed observers of the bitcoin markets. This is the picture that emerged. It connects the dots between (are you ready?):

 bitcoin’s civil war; Wells Fargo and a Taiwanese banking freeze; an obscure cryptotoken known as Tether; Japanese payments regulations; an explosion of interest in the usually anemic market for altcoins; and the phenomenon known as the initial coin offering (ICO), which is being touted as a mechanism to upend traditional venture capital raising. Here goes nothing:
