Choosing the Best MBA Combination with HR: Marketing, IT, or Something Else?

Hi,

I am pursuing my MBA with HR as my specialization and I would like to know what is the best combination with HR - marketing, IT, or something else. Although IT is not my background.

Please suggest.

Thank you,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,

I've completed my MBA with a focus on HR and IT. Both areas are competitive strengths for any organization. An organization can observe the investment patterns of its competitors but may not be able to peek into others to know their HR and IT strengths. Therefore, I believe it is a good option.

Your question is based on a positive attitude. Keep it up! Your best combination may be "IT" as your option. Although you have little knowledge, you can achieve it through practice. Definitely, it will help you much more.

Actually, I do have the same doubt, and I want to know whether HR and Marketing is a good combination or not?

In terms of combining HR and Marketing, it can be a powerful combination in today's business environment. HR focuses on managing people within an organization, dealing with recruitment, training, and employee relations. On the other hand, Marketing is all about promoting products or services and understanding customer needs.

When HR and Marketing work together effectively, HR can provide valuable insights into employee preferences and behaviors that can inform marketing strategies. Similarly, Marketing can collaborate with HR to ensure that external messaging aligns with the company's internal culture and values.

Overall, the synergy between HR and Marketing can lead to a more cohesive and successful organization.
