Statement Of Purpose: Too Big To Fail By Andrew Ross Sorkin

An organization that I admire and would like to work for in the future is Chase Bank. The most admirable quality of this financial institution has to be its leadership during the financial crises of 2008. Through great task delegation and resource management, this company was able to circumvent detrimental events which could have led to bankruptcy. Since, I am interested in working for a financial institution such as Chase Bank and I am following the educational steps that reflect this desire, it would only be appropriate that in the future a joining of interests from Chase Bank and myself would take place. With further education in finance, I see myself developing a strong foundation of knowledge

I’m always fascinated by the stories of successful entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and Elon Musk the founder of Tesla and Space X. It is not only because of they are famous but also because they found their investors who contribute to their success and have the right to take part of it. The curiosity of finance drags me into the field of commerce and investment. Finance, a comprehensive study, requires the ability of mathematics and understanding of the economic environments which are my two favorite subjects since I was in year 11. I got my first chance to access to the field of finance in 2017 through two internships: at China Everbright Bank and Nuoyuan Holdings, a subsidiary of Hanfor Holdings. Getting to

There are several reasons as to why I settled on MBA - Finance as my concentration of choice. First and foremost, from quite an early age, I had a great liking for analytical subjects. Indeed, I found mathematics more interesting than science subjects. This is a passion that has continued to propagate in me and for this reason; I would say that my selection of the said concentration comes naturally. Next, my concentration of choice happens to be in line with my long-term career goals. As I have already indicated elsewhere in this text, I intend to become a finance director in a reputable organization. I view an MBA in Finance as a stepping stone towards this particular goal. It is important to note that competition for jobs in the

It is not uncommon to become accustomed to the way business is conducted in the United States. It’s a fair assumption that many young, inexperienced business executives are unaware of international cultures in business. Each country has particular customs and practices. It certainly goes without saying that Corporate America has an understanding when it comes to the terms of a standard workweek.

My internship at FuturePerfect Ventures has been an incredible learning experience and a stepping-stone for a fulfilling career path. I have known that I wanted to pursue a career in financial communications before I even started the internship search process. My experience at FuturePerfect Ventures not only solidified my desire to work in this specific industry but also gave me the opportunity to build on my existing skills and allowed me to have first-hand experience in this area. Thus, my internship at FuturePerfect Ventures has been, in many ways, more than a learning experience but also what Nathaniel Kolac, the author of the Harvard Business Review article, “Build a Career Worth Having, refers as a valuable stepping stone, one of the many experiences that help create the path to a successful, fulfilling career.

The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 has had a significant influence on society as a whole and made it possible for people to be able to acknowledge the critical condition they were in. Andrew Ross Sorkin's book "Too Big to Fail" provides intriguing information concerning the crisis and presents readers with unique perspectives. When considering Niccolo Machiavelli's book "The Prince", one is likely to find a lot of parallels to Sorkin's manuscript and the crisis is probable to seem less surprising as a result of looking at important firms such as Goldman Sachs and the attitudes they employed both before and during the financial crisis.

After attaining a degree in business studies, my career options will grow. Within the next five years, I can see two attractive options available:

A year and half has passed since I’ve completed my undergraduate degree. In this time, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my career goals. I am now ready to earn my MBA in health care management. With this degree, I will be able to accomplish my career goals and objectives. I plan to use my master 's degree to help me pursue a career in health care management. My career goal is to become a health care manager in one of my area hospitals. I’ve research the strategies needed to successfully complete a MBA program. I’m motived and fully prepared to start working on my MBA. I ecstatic to embark on this new journey

The EMBA curriculum provides students an opportunity to apply what’s learned in class to real-world business in the local area. Additionally, my 25+ years, performing as a data analyst and working well within a team, will be an asset to the learning environment. I am an ideal UNC EMBA candidate due to the knowledge I have directed numerous multi-million dollar projects, which required flexibility, accountability, and respect for diversity. I will use these traits to enhance the learning experience of fellow students and myself. Additionally, I formalized my five-year career plan with my manager. He is a recent Duke MBA alumnus, so we reviewed the UNC EMBA curriculum and discussed which electives, and program concentrations that would be integral to a successful banking career. Leveraging my military experience, completion of a graduate degree, and obtaining other banking certifications, will prove I am motivated and ready for greater responsibilities/promotions as they become available.

At twenty five, I was already a graduate with a degree in Business Administration, and had my MBA from the Harvard Business School. By the time I eventually took my place in the company’s board at age thirty, I had worked in almost every major department in the headquarters or knew about its operations.

As a teenager I had a professor who taught economics with practical examples by sharing profiles of preeminent business leaders. He continually reinforced the point that most of them started early in their careers and shared a dogged focus for self-improvement. Realizing my acumen for business and finance, I decided to learn as much as I could working full-time in banking, insurance, and investments at large financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase while pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Texas at San Antonio. These roles taught me to work systematically and played a significant role in my ability to master the concepts presented in the classroom.

Large corporations such as Wal-Mart or Home Depot often come under criticism for putting mom-and-pop shops out of business. While this may be a valid criticism, the consumers neglect to realize that they play the biggest part in shutting these businesses down. Consumers across the country are always looking for the best deals or the lowest prices, and in most cases the larger corporations are where products can be found at the lowest price. Many small business owners and the populations of small towns dislike large corporations moving into the area because they believe it negatively effects the local

At the Introduction to PD workshop I identified two broad reasons why I decided to pursue my MBA. The first was to develop my competence as a manager. The second and more important reason was to advance my career by making myself more marketable. The job market today is undoubtedly very competitive and I realised that a first degree was not sufficient if I wanted to 'climb the corporate ladder'. It is hoped that this MBA would help me to take advantage of any future opportunities when they become available. My personal development journey thus far has quite

The MBA program was introduced for the first time in the United States in the early 20 th Century and was modeled on the basis of the prevalent 2-year graduate programs. It gained significant traction after its inception, however was later criticized for its lack of practical relevance. It was often said that “MBA was too academic, too theoretical and divorced from real-life business practice.”1 Business school subsequently responded by improving quality of teaching and content. The first year was dedicated to

Many diverse experiences have helped to shape my professional marketing career. These positions range from promoting Broadway shows, to marketing at the global children's entertainment brand Pokémon, and managing a girl’s brand called My Princess Academy. While my professional experiences have provided me with a strong real world foundation, I feel that in order to pursue my goal of managing a major entertainment brand, I require the knowledge and training afforded by an MBA program. I am confident that my professional experiences coupled with an MBA will help me achieve a vibrant career in marketing management.
