I received an MPA few years ago a U.S. college. MPA is almost like an MBA for the public sector. Courses include public finance, human resources management, information technology, etc. Classes public policies are policy analysis and basic concepts of public administration. Beyond that, it depends on what leading in. You can take courses on safety, urban planning, policy development, policy environment, etc. Expect a lot of reading and writing. In the U.S., MPA requires 48 credits, which means 2 years, if you are a full time student and closer to 3.5 years if you are part time. ASPA is one of the main organizations of MPAs.

Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description After all the hard work on your application, you're finally in to business school. Now what? The acceptance letter is just the beginning of your MBA experience. Even before classes start, you'll face all kinds of new challenges: financing your degree, readjusting to homework, schmoozing recruiters. Now you can turn to this book, produced by Manhattan GMAT--one of the leading names in GMAT preparation--to ready you for the challenges you'll face as a newly-minted MBA candidate. Case Studies & Cocktails will be your go-to guide as you prepare to enter your MBA program and throughout your time at b-school. The authors--MBAs themselves--have drawn on their own experiences and interviewed current students for the inside scoop on every aspect of b-school, from telling the boss you're going back to school to balancing wine and cheese in one hand while networking. The result is both a handbook for the social side of school and an academic primer on the material you'll have to master. The book even includes a glossary of need-to-know jargon, so you won't feel lost when classmates start slinging around acronyms. What Faculty & Students Are Saying: "I think this is an awesome idea. There are tons of books out there about how to get in but nothing about how to survive business school." -Dr. Tim Flood, Assistant Professor of Management and Corporate Communication, UNC's Kenan-Flagler School of Business "This is a totally underserved market. The elation of getting in is awesome but then reality sets in. You have to make a decision. Then you send in your thousand dollar check and you get this giant book of stuff to do and a t-shirt and its overwhelming. You're proud to wear your t-shirt, but it's tough to get through the rest. No one tells you when to quit your job, when to stop traveling, how to find roommates and a place to live. I would definitely have read [Case Studies & Cocktails] if I knew it was around. I might have even read it as an aspirational thing before I applied." -Matt, Ross '11, President, Student Government Association "I love what this book is talking about. There's a real need for this. I'm so glad to see that someone is getting this done -- I just wish we'd thought of it." -Al Catrone, Chief Administrative Officer, University of Michigan's Ross School of Business "Any insight is great. Read all of this advice and it will make you more wide-eyed and ready to absorb. Be ready to take it all in because you never know what's next." -Liz, Berkeley - Haas '11, President, MBA Association

Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School List Price: $25.95 Sale Price: $4.87 See Reviews For This Product Description As One L did for Harvard Law School, Ahead of the Curve does for Harvard Business School—providing an incisive student’s-eye view that pulls the veil away from this vaunted institution and probes the methods it uses to make its students into the elite of the business worldIn the century since its founding, Harvard Business School has become the single most influential institution in global business. Twenty percent of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are HBS graduates, as are many of our savviest entrepreneurs (e.g., Michael Bloomberg) and canniest felons (e.g., Jeffrey Skilling). The top investment banks and brokerage houses routinely send their brightest young stars to HBS to groom them for future power. To these people and many others, a Harvard MBA is a golden ticket to the Olympian heights of American business. In 2004, Philip Delves Broughton abandoned a post as Paris bureau chief of the London Daily Telegraph to join nine hundred other would-be tycoons on HBS’s plush campus. Over the next two years, he and his classmates would be inundated with the best—and the rest—of American business culture that HBS epitomizes. The core of the school’s curriculum is the “case”—an analysis of a real business situation from which the students must, with a professor’s guidance, tease lessons. Delves Broughton studied more than five hundred cases and recounts the most revelatory ones here. He also learns the surprising pleasures of accounting, the allure of “beta,” the ingenious chicanery of leveraging, and innumerable other hidden workings of the business world, all of which he limns with a wry clarity reminiscent of Liar’s Poker. He also exposes the less savory trappings of b-school culture, from the “booze luge” to the pandemic obsession with PowerPoint to the specter of depression that stalks too many overburdened students. With acute and often uproarious candor, he assesses the school’s success at teaching the traits it extols as most important in business—leadership, decisiveness, ethical behavior, work/life balance. Published during the one hundredth anniversary of Harvard Business School, Ahead of the Curve offers a richly detailed and revealing you-are-there account of the institution that has, for good or ill, made American business what it is today.

Dubai, the City as Corporation Sale Price: $75.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Somewhere in the course of the late twentieth century, Dubai became more than itself. The city was, suddenly, a postmodern urban spectacle rising from the desert—precisely the glittering global consumer utopia imagined by Dubai’s rulers and merchant elite. In Dubai, the City as Corporation, Ahmed Kanna looks behind this seductive vision to reveal the role of cultural and political forces in shaping both the image and the reality of Dubai. Exposing local struggles over power and meaning in the making and representation of Dubai, Kanna examines the core questions of what gets built and for whom. His work, unique in its view of the interconnectedness of cultural identity, the built environment, and politics, offers an instructive picture of how different factions—from local and non-Arab residents and expatriate South Asians to the cultural and economic elites of the city—have all participated in the creation and marketing of Dubai. The result is an unparalleled account of the ways in which the built environment shapes and is shaped by the experience of globalization and neoliberalism in a diverse, multinational city.

Cultural Differences Between the Military and Parent Society in Democratic Countries, Volume 4 (Conflict Management, Peace Economics and Development) Sale Price: $140.95   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description This book is a report of cross-national research on the civil-military cultural differences in democratic societies, particularly centred on the attitudes of national elites, here considered as being mainly composed of professionals. The research studies the question: What are the differences between the values, opinions and attitudes of military officers and those of professionals belonging to other categories? What is the effect of these differences on society in each country, and on the national security sector? What are the current trends of this gap? Researchers investigated a sample of cadets at military academies and their generational peers at civilian universities (future elites). An expert survey was also employed to sample present elites, both civilian and military.The report is divided into three parts: the first describes the methodological aspect of the research; the second part, taking a comparative international approach, analyses the results of the research with respect to the main survey themes; the third part continues the volume by examining specific national themes in the context of the results of the cross-national comparison developed in the preceding part. In a final chapter, the data of the expert survey has been compared with the data that emerged from the survey of future elites, to glean elements for a general summary and evaluation on the cultural gap. This is the first cross-national research outside the U.S. on civil/ military cultural differences. It is a significant comparison of the attitudes of present and future elites on security matter. It provides a deep understanding of national specificities of the 13 participating countries on the military issues.
