Why do you need an MBA?
你为什么需要一个MBA？Alphonse L. Johnson 2013年3月30日
MBA可以帮助今天的酒店经营者们获得他们所需的快速成功和晋升。就像几十年前，酒店行业内获得本科学位的大学生很稀有，但那些有本科学位的大学生会获得更快的职位提升。
为什么？酒店行业存在的原因和运营的媒介都是人。组成、发展和领导一个高效能的工作团队是一种技能，既需要学术知识，也需要现实生活中的经验。学术环境使人们在一个风险相对较低的环境中走向成熟和获得处理关系的技能。多民族和文化多元化的校园环境让我们学习到社交技能、欣赏不同的文化、学习酒店经营者必备的核心知识，这些是我们在接待国际客户和应对国际员工时都会用到的能力。
为什么？因为如果我们想要把工作做好，那就需要借助文凭和知识以达到我们想要的结果。我们通常以在酒店实习的方式学习行业技巧，这确实是学习一项专业技能的有效途径。教育让我们可以更快、更好地学习很多技能。
为什么？因为对速度的要求。今天的酒店行业是在以光速运转，跟过去相比，规模更大、情况更复杂、需要应对的利益相关群体也更加庞大。传统的从基层做起的晋升方式也使得这些酒店管理人员在吸收多种技能、专业标准和金融专项技能方面面临更多困难，然而这些技能是领导和管理一个多元化品牌、多重单元的组织所必需的。
现在的沟通要求酒店一周7天每天24小时都能够即时对沟通事宜做出决定并给予回复，而正统的学校教育教授了我们技能工具，让我们可以用飞快的速度做出很好的回复。
为什么？因为这个课程可以增强你的竞争优势。我自己的经验是当我最开始做厨房实习生的时候，那份工作非常有趣，但是我太缺乏耐心了，我等不及以传统的职业发展途径等待升职。在我获得本科学位之后，我发现我在职业发展上很快就领先于我之前的同事了。我在职场上的竞争者们也是一样的睿智、有动力、有能力，但是我掌握的技能更多，并且我学习的速度也更快，尤其是在会计和金融方面，这些都是核心技能并且最好是在学校期间学会。可能高等教育最大的优势是培养了你的思考能力，你会去质疑、去推理、衡量不同的选择以及快速地估算风险。
为什么？因为不能停止在同事和朋友之间拓展我们的人际关系网。通过去学校参加课程可以让我们快速拓展相关的人际关系网，这是我们事业发展的重要基础。MBA课程可以提供顶尖的人脉拓展机会，你可以结交到在这个行业中居于领导地位的同学。

Why do you need an MBA?
by Alphonse L. Johnson 30 March 2013
An MBA provides the tools that today’s hoteliers need to succeed and advance at a faster pace. Just as several decades ago, when undergraduate degrees in hospitality were the exception, those with the degree tended to advance faster.
Why? People are both the reason for and medium through which we provide hospitality. Forming, developing, and leading high-performance teams is a skill that is derived from a blend of both academic and real-life experiences. The academic environment matures our people and relationship skills in a relatively low risk environment. The multi-national and cultural campus environment enables us to learn social skills and appreciation of diverse cultures, essential lessons for a hotelier to learn as we host international guests and staff.
Why? We all need tools to perform our work, education provides us with the tools and the knowledge to craft the desired results. Apprenticeships used to be the way that hospitality we learned our craft, it was an effective way of learning a specialized skill. Education enables us to learn many skills better and faster.
Why? It is the need for speed. Today’s hotel companies operate at the speed of light, are larger, more complex, global and have a wider array of stakeholders to answer to, than in the past. Rising through the ranks in the traditional manner makes it more challenging to acquire the multiple skills, level of professionalism and financial expertise to lead and manage multi-brand, multi-unit organizations. Today’s communications require instantaneous 24/7 decisions and responses, the formal education provides us with tools to respond well, at the speed of light.
Why? It is about gaining the competitive edge. My own experience is that I started as a Kitchen apprentice, it was great fun, but I was too impatient to follow the traditional career path. I obtained my undergraduate degree and found that I was soon sprinting ahead my former colleagues on the career path. My competitors in the career race were just as smart, driven and competent, but I had learned more skills more quickly, particularly in accounting and finance, which are key skills that are best learned in an academic setting. Perhaps the greatest advantage of higher education is the development of thought processes to be able to question, reason, consider the options and calculate the risks quickly.
Why? Expanding our network of colleagues and friends never stops. Education enables us to quickly further expand our networks that are an important foundation to our careers. The MBA course provides the ultimate networking opportunity to know fellow leaders.
