People tend to go for dual specializations because there is a lot of overlap if one takes up subjects from one subject only. Also, you become a better manager if you have knowledge of all the business processes rather than concentrating on "Just" marketing, "Just" finance, "Just" HR or Just "IT" (forgot to mention HR ). Hope that helps

Cheers!

I only have a standard consultant's reply - "It Depends" . Depends on where you want to be and what you want to do Don't let others take decisions for you, decide what you want to be...talk to your seniors, find out what companies want for the profile that you are looking for. While going for Finance looks like a safer bet from your post, it all depends on whether you want to go for a hardcore finance profile, a pure marketing profile or a mixture of fin and mktg.

Cheers!

If you mean an "MBA in HR" then u wont have technical stuff in the core course. the max u can come accross is something like an MIS (management info system) and its uses and various managerial aspects & possibilities it brings. But for electives u may have the provision of selecting SAP/ERP or some other system electives.

Hope this helps -

Hello people,

Could someone also talk more about entrepreneurship specialization?
Whats its scope? Is the only option for such specialists is to start their own business or can they be involved as change specialists, innovation and expansion managers???

Hoping to get a lot of inputs,

Thanks,

Deepak.
