You will hear five different people talking about the MBA they have done.
For each extract there are two tasks. For Task One, choose the way or reason each of them took the MBA programme from the list A-H. For Task Two, choose the result that person has achieved after taking the MBA from the list A-H.
You will hear the recording twice.
You now have 30 seconds to read the two lists.
[pause]
Now listen, and do the two tasks.

Speaker 1
Woman: When I was offered the manager’s job at the health centre, I asked for support for a formal management qualification. The Head Office agreed and even helped financially. I’ve never worked in the private sector, so I had a lot to learn about business. The course taught me a whole range of specific skills, like thinking strategically, which I can now apply to my work. I’d always avoided finance, but the course really changed my ideas about it, and I hope to specialise in this in the near future.
Speaker 2
Man: Actually my MBA was done on a scholarship after I had left an environmental charity and joined a major company in the chemicals industry. My motivation for doing the course was to get more credibility as a business professional, and I managed to persuade my employer to let me have the time off, though my hopes of persuading them to give me funding came to nothing. The MBA has given me a much greater range of tools and techniques, which are really helpful in my work, as well as a wider perspective on the complexity of running a business today.
Speaker 3
Woman: I was awarded a prize for being the best student in my year, and I funded myself entirely on the MBA. Well, partly, in fact, by tutoring students on lower-level business courses. I previously worked as an international marketing consultant for a tyre manufacturer, but felt I needed a broader understanding of how businesses work. The company kept my job open for me, and now I can see how my own discipline fits into a broader context. The MBA was a big financial commitment, but I’m sure it’ll pay for itself in the long term.
Speaker 4
Man: I worked for a local charity organisation before joining the MBA course at Edinburgh, where I was responsible for a case study that has since been incorporated into the MBA programme. I was then recruited by a management consultant. I like the problem-solving aspect, and helping people. But the voluntary sector is where I’m most interested in focusing my efforts, so it won’t be long before I get back into that area. I don’t suppose the pay will be so good, but I think I’ll find the work more satisfying.
Speaker 5
Woman: After ten years as a manager for a bicycle manufacturer, which employs about 1,100 people, I took the course because I felt that I had been left behind by developments in management. I needed an understanding of the language of business and a modern management toolkit. I learnt a lot from the course, and I’m using it to shake up the company, and bring it into the twenty-first century. Maybe it would have been a better move to go to a different company, or even a different industry, but I’m happy for the moment.
