Belmont, CA (PRWEB) December 20, 2013 -- bizMagic, a Silicon Valley company, today announced the launch of biz-Master - a free online “gamified” business school for entrepreneurs and professionals.
With total student debt in US exceeding $1 trillion, average tuition for a two-year MBA degree in excess of $60,000, and contracting job market for MBA graduates, earning an MBA degree - especially from one of less-known business schools - may not be a good investment.
While value of top-ranked MBA programs from Harvard or Stanford is unquestionable, a lot of MBA students might be better off by earning an advanced technology or engineering degree and learning business skills without paying a steep price for a formal business education.
biz-Master is a non-commercial online business school that addresses this problem. It was created for entrepreneurs and professionals who want to advance their careers or open successful businesses.
biz-Master is built on principles of Lean Education and offers 7 “lean” biz-Programs that are organized in 4 levels and cover all major topics from a traditional business school curriculum. Each biz-Program is a collection of free online biz-Projects, biz-Quizzes, “gamified” biz-Cases and free online biz-Courses from third party providers.
There are no deadlines and biz-Programs can be completed in any order. While biz-Master does not offer a formal degree, its goal is to develop in students understanding of the “big picture of business”, how different parts of any business - marketing, finance, operations, product management and business strategy - fit together.
biz-Master uses proprietary business strategy simulation engine developed by bizMagic to provide “gamified” biz-Cases with various performance objectives. biz-Cases serve as an engagement and motivation vehicle, and also as a “glue” that sticks together all other parts of each biz-Program.
Paraphrasing a quote from Albert Einstein, "[Business] education is what is left after you've forgotten everything you've learned [in business school]." This is why biz-Cases are the most important part of biz-Master and are designed to develop, as bizMagic calls it, “the biz-Way of thinking."
biz-Master is located at http://www.bizMagic.com/biz/ and is open for all registered users without any fee or invitation code.
