Foreword Within these pages you are introduced to the talents of the 2012 UEA MBA cohorts. I am sure you will find a wealth of experience within these pages and individuals who can add significant immediate value to your organizations. Although some of these students have already secured exciting post-course positions with national and international organizations many are seeking opportunities from January 2013.
“We are proud of our 2012 cohort. They have worked hard over an intensive study period and deserve the success which must surely follow.”
Our students study hard to achieve a well earned MBA, which this year achieved full accreditation by the Association of MBAs (AMBA). You can be sure that our 2012 students have undertaken a rigorous period of study and work hard in teams to produce successful outcomes in two consultancy projects for a wide range of clients from small local companies to large multinationals such as 3M, Marsh Risk Consulting and Virgin. Their consultancy skills (valuable in “making things happen” within companies as well as stand alone consultancy) have been developed to the professional standards of the Institute of Consulting and Chartered Management Institute: all should graduate with a joint MBA and Diploma in Management Consultancy. A Norwich Business School MBA graduate is likely to have a deep understanding of the practical application of a range of business models, theories and frameworks. Our interactive teaching methods, commitment to group work and integration of knowledge and skills through real consultancy activities encourages students to reflect upon the application of knowledge in a variety of contexts. In your search for talent please check out the students in this 2012 yearbook. They deserve your attention.

A personal viewpoint: Mai Vu “There is quite a focus on teamwork in this MBA and I think it adds a lot to the course. When I look back, I made a very good decision to come to the Norwich Business School and to study the full-time MBA here - I’ve enjoyed the course and I’m satisfied I made the right choice.” Before Mai came to Norwich she was working as a department manager for Vietnam Communications Corporation, running a national children’s website in her home country of Vietnam. But in January 2011, she decided to uproot and move to Norwich to study the one year full-time MBA at the business school at UEA, and we asked her why she decided to do that, what brought her to Norwich in particular and what she hoped to do next. “Yes it is true that I had a good job at home in Vietnam, and I enjoyed working on the http://socnhi.com website which was a successful project for me. At the same time I wanted to extend my background in IT and get some more business skills on my CV. I looked around at business courses and MBAs in particular and decided that the UEA MBA was a good option for me. “Two things caught my attention about the course – a lot of the MBAs I had seen had September starts but Norwich Business School’s MBA started in January which actually suited me much better with finishing my job in Vietnam. At the same time, I could see how the consultancy projects would give me practical experience of business management – exactly the skills I was looking to build on. “When I finish the course, I hope I will have increased my skills enough to get some work in Europe somewhere. I know I wouldn’t even be thinking of this without studying an MBA first – the course has given me a lot of experience and more confidence about my business skills.

“Lots of the things I hoped for before I came to Norwich have really happened to me. I liked working on the consultancy projects and a few of the other modules such as Entrepreneurship were very enjoyable for me too. The teaching style here is very different to what I am used to in Asia. Most of the lecturers here have a very active style and everyone is invited to speak up and participate to the group in some way. ‘We’ve been working in teams of four for the consultancy projects and although I have learned a lot from Terry’s lectures [Terry Kendrick, the Course Director and lecturer for the Management Consultancy Skills Module], I have also got a lot from the other people in my teams. In one of my consultancy projects, I was lucky enough to be with people who have lots of work experience. In such a small team you have close working relationships, you get to know each other very well and you can learn a lot from your friends.’ ‘There’s also a lot of variety within the groups. I really enjoyed the teamwork in another assignment when we were working in larger teams. When we looked at ourselves, we saw that the 11 of us came from 10 different countries! That kind of cultural diversity makes group work great fun and of course there’s a lot to be learned about everyone’s background and their lives before coming to Norwich.’ ‘There is quite a focus on teamwork in this MBA and I think it adds a lot to the course. In fact, when I look back, I think I made a very good decision to come to the Norwich Business School and to study the full-time MBA here. I’ve enjoyed the course and I’m satisfied I made the right choice for me.’

MBA consultancy projects at Norwich Business School: How we teach our students to apply knowledge MBA consultancy projects at Norwich Business School are live and challenging projects. They are not simply placements where a student works full-time in an organisation for a small period of time. Consultancy projects take place over a period of about twelve weeks usually with groups of students acting as consultancy teams to address real problems and issues in organisations. All of this activity is undertaken whilst, at the same time, attending the taught units typical of an MBA programme. By consulting over a longer time period than many other MBA programmes, the students have an opportunity to undertake an unusually thorough consultancy. Our approach allows them to initiate discussion with a wider range of people than in a short intensive consultancy where access to the relevant people may not be possible within the timeframe. Furthermore the students have time to reflect on their learning as the project progresses and, indeed, part of their assessment is a reflection on the project once it has been completed.
In addition to showing their analytical and creative skills, the students practice negotiation and time management (they work to a proposal agreed with the client) and learn to work as a group (never easy!) toward a high level objective. The projects are chosen so that models and frameworks taught within the course can be applied. All of this is underpinned with 30 hours of formal education and training in consultancy skills. This commitment to education and training is vitally important when addressing real issues that matter in real organisations. Our approach has been recognised by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and our students were the first in the UK to have the opportunity to leave with a joint MBA and a Diploma in Management Consultancy awarded by the Institute of Consulting and the Chartered Management Institute.
“Now I feel very confident about delivering the consultancy process... For me, the consultancy projects were one of the best parts of the whole course� Anahita Pajuhesh, MBA Strategic Carbon Management, 2011

Example recent consultancy projects Marsh Risk Consulting www.uk.marsh.com A team of MBA General students studied the extremes of rise and fall in stock market prices in 250 businesses over a recent five year period and correlated these with company risk events, both internal and external – “Shareholder value: impact of risk events and relevance of intangible assets”. The students developed and negotiated a proposal to study this activity and, with regular contact and presentations delivered, met all deadlines. The client was “very excited” by its findings and the UK Managing Director commented “The feedback I have had from members of my team concerning the conduct and professionalism of the group running the research has been nothing but positive. Our clients regularly ask us to demonstrate the value that can be created by managing risk and this piece of work provides us with another perspective”.
Virgin Active www.virginactive.co.uk Students from both the General and Carbon MBAs studied carbon and energy management throughout Virgin’s Health Clubs across the UK. The team researched best practise in building management, analysed the company’s current property portfolio and made a series of innovative and practical recommendations to reduce energy consumption. Throughout the project, students remained focussed upon Virgin’s need to continue to deliver excellent customer experience with their Health Clubs whilst finding ways to achieve environmental sustainability.
Farrows www.farrows.co.uk The only graphic design agency in the UK to hold a Royal Warrant for providing services to the Royal Family asked a team of students to provide advice on succession planning within family businesses. After celebrating over 30 years of success, the Farrow family were planning a smooth transition of leadership to the next generation. Students interviewed Directors, customers and gained an indepth understanding of the company’s culture and values and were able to make practical recommendations to the client to help sustain the business during a critical period of change.
