    Welcome tothe Victoria

    MBAThe Victoria MBA gives business proessionals

    the skills to take on senior leadership roles in

    commerce, the public sector and society.

    We regard the MBA as a programme that will help

    you develop both personally and proessionally.

    It encourages you to think laterally, expand

    your critical thinking skills, develop conceptual

    capabilities and hone your communication style.

    Your analytical and leadership skills will be

    developed through the use o international

    ideas and insights to illustrate local and global

    business environments and to challenge ideas

    and concepts. The programme osters practical

    dialogue through the use o case studies, visits

    rom experienced practitioners and projects

    that require you to apply your learning in real

    organisational settings.

    The Victoria MBA has been running or morethan 25 years. My own observation is that the

    quality o the educational experience that the

    MBA provides and the quality o its alumni are

    continuously improving. This growth and maturity

    has been recognised internationally through

    Victoria University being awarded the prestigious

    Association o MBAs accreditation.

    I completed my MBA at Victoria in my rst

    term as Mayor o Wellington. To say I was busy

    is an understatement! But I thoroughly enjoyedevery minute o it.

    The study was challenging and hard work,

    but it gave me new rameworks and enabled

    me to think more strategicallyallowing me

    to create better outcomes through teams. It denitely made me abetter civic leader. Since then it has given me credibility within the

    commercial arena. It was one o the reasons I have been chosen

    or several directorships, including chairmanship o the new

    Environmental Protection Agency.

    to be admitted to the MBA and take an additional

    eight MBA courses, as well as proessional

    How do you place a value on something

    as abstract as knowledge? At 43, having

    exited ownership o a typical New Zealand

    small business I had run or nearly 20 years, I

    enrolled to do the MBA I had promised myselsince I was 30.

    I look back now and wonder how I ever coped

    without the undamental understandings I have gained through the

    process and rue what might have been had I had this knowledge

    earlier. My MBA has led directly to my position as Chie Executiveo AstraPrint, and to a greater condence in dealing with the many

    challenges leadership in the modern business world entails.
