MBA, the online learning asynchronous way - Live Mint
Subash Bijlani, professor of practice, business and executive programs, University of Maryland University College, USA, has students from as varied backgrounds as possible — from a 60-year old grandmother of a home-run enterprise to a businessman wanting to do his second MBA.
Bijlani is a great advocate of ‘asynchronous learning’, a concept that began to be talked about in the late 1990s. According to Bijlani, asynchronous learning is the best way of upgrading knowledge without making drastic changes in lifestyle or routine, and without the stress of sitting through competitive exams. These programmes are cost-effective and also allow executives the time and space to study as they wish. These, according to him, are major plus points for a mid-to-senior level executive or manager.
