 Is the MBA program dead ?
In it's present shape and Plain Vanilla form, Yes.
However what will happen is that certain components of the MBA curriculum will get integrated into specialized vocational educational streams such as Engineering, Information Technology, Medicine, Law, etc.
These courses will pick specific MBA program elements & integrate it with their specific educational offerings.
e.g. MBBS-MBA, BTech-MBA as some examples of Dual Degree programs
combining management with other professional and specialized courses.
Also, MBA programs focussed on Vertical Industry and Business Segments will become increasingly popular.
