Re: [LIS-Forum] opportunity of MBA degree for library and
by राज कुमार 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Dear Vikash, That's a good query. Young LIS professionals must explore some new emerging areas for good job opportunities in corporate world rather than being a traditional librarian. As per your query, if someone get an MBA degree than he can enter into corporate. Because the LIS professionals are known expert in information searching and retrieval. Few challenging roles are as below: 1. Knowledge Management- Knowledge Manager/Knowledge Scientist/Knowledge Specialist 2. Business Information Research- Research Associate/Business Analyst 3. Research and Analytics- Research Associate/Research Analyst 4. Market Research-Research Associate/Research Analyst All the above four fields require good skills in information searching, organizing, analyzing and reporting. Such Business and market research reports are used by the top management of corporations to take strategic decisions.

Re: [LIS-Forum] opportunity of MBA degree for library and information science professionals
by Shriram Pandey 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Dear Mr. Vikash, This is reference to your query posted in LIS Forum. There are huge opportunity for the library professionals who has MBA. But MBA should be in IT or any other discipline which is related to he management of information systems etc not HR and Marketing. Recently I have seen many such vacancies like DELNET in which MBA +LIS degree was the essential qualification. Sky is not limit of those candidates having such degrees as lots of foreign Universities are cumming in india.
