Does the public sector need a special MBA?
FOR business schools it seemed like a good marketing move. The public sector was expanding, salary levels competing with the private sector, and there were calls to make the public sector more businesslike. The Professional Skills for Government programme was introduced to enable staff to develop the skills and experience needed to design and deliver 21st-century services. Surely the time was right to sell these organisations a public sector MBA? A handful of business schools offer specialised MBA programmes for the public sector, including Birmingham, Nottingham and Warwick. But Jeanette Purcell, chief executive of the Association of MBAs, says that this specialist market is static. They were established some years ago in response to the market, but demand isnt growing.
Joan Munro, national adviser on workforce strategy for the Improvement and Development Agency, says that some specialised MBAs did not meet customer expectations. Local authorities sponsored staff on specialist MBAs but felt they werent getting an appropriate education.
