Why?
Why Mini MBA?
Because you are interested in learning the most important principles of an MBA, but you do not intend dedicating a year or two to do so.
Because Mini MBA programs in the United States have gained a strong reputation and are in high demand by Senior Executives.
Because you are likely to ask yourselves how the founders of Microsoft, Google, Apple, Checkpoint, Dell and Facebook etc, succeeded without having a Masters in Business Administration.
Tapas MBA will help you answer the questions: “What do we gain from an MBA? How necessary is it?For whom?”

“I expected a lot from this program, and got more than I could hope for: a comprehensive glimpse into the nuances of the business world, allowing me to see through the fog covering them. Coming from a technological background and currently working on my own startup, this proved truly essential. Plus,Tapas was organized beautifully, facilitating endless networking opportunities. If only I could do this again for the first time..."
