Malaysian MBA: their impact on organizational effectiveness / Justine Sinsoi, Muhammad Mukhtar Hanipah and Maisarah Abdul Rahman

The question to whether the M.B.A. holders have great impact on the organizational effectiveness has no definite answer. However, in the course of our research, we had set up certain standards for measuring the effectiveness so as to provide a clear picture of the significance of their contributions. Through findings, we found out that the number of M.B.A. holders that were employed in the banking sector is substantially large compared to other sectors. In the course of our research, we have taken Bank Negara (Central Bank) and five commercial banks as examples. The commercial banks are Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Bhd., Malayan Banking Bhd., Citibank, The Standard Chartered Bank, and The Malaysian French Bank. In presenting the report, much care has been taken to present it in a systematic manner. During our research we found it very troublesome (and frustrating) to face and deal with a mass of fragmented disorganized data. It seemed necessary to try to understand by locating general principles while running through and tying together, these unsystematic findings.
