Write your essays answering the following questions; essays should be in 12-point type, double-spaced, 750 words or less.
Essay 1: Please describe your short-term (immediately following the MBA) and your long-term career goals. In what ways will the Eller MBA enhance your career and what experiences will you contribute to the Evening MBA class? Why is now the right time for you to pursue the Eller Evening MBA program?
Essay 2: You are the Managing Director of a specialty minerals business with $200 million in annual revenue, headquartered in London, England. One of your major areas of growth is through global expansion. A critical region of growth is in India, and you have negotiated with the federal and regional authorities to construct a plant outside Bangalore. Because of the large installed local customer base, this factory will contribute strongly to your financial performance this year. In fact, it will be impossible for you to reach your financial targets without a timely and seamless plant construction and transition to full operating production.
As you sit in your office on a rainy London morning, you consider your situation. You are more than a month behind schedule due to a myriad of construction and regulatory setbacks. Your senior management is highly concerned about the situation, and specifically warning you about not hitting your financial targets for the year. As you ponder your situation, you receive a phone call from your local project manager in Bangalore, indicating there is yet another potential setback—the local electrical inspector who was scheduled to approve the factory power distribution system has cancelled, and cannot reschedule for another 3 weeks. The inspector, however, has told your project manager he could eliminate this “unfortunate” delay if he were to receive a personal payment—a bribe. The amount would not be very great, perhaps only 5 or 10 pounds sterling ($10 or $20 USD).
