Thinking about going to BUSINESS SCHOOL?

Hello!

I'm located in London, and I'm doing research about MBA for students in East Asia. (mainly, South Korea and Japan)
in order to increase the potential students who apply for MBA.

So I would like to hear from students and business people in the area and also those who are familiar with this area,
about how people in this region think about MBA.

I would like to start discussion on the points below.
Thank you very much for your help!

1. If you live in East Asia, have you ever thought of getting MBA? Why?

for those who said yes;

1-A. When did you start thinking about getting MBA? How old were you? What motivated you back then?

1-B. What do you expect from holding MBA?

1-C. How did you look for the information about MBA?

1-D. What is your current responsibility in your post?

2. Have you ever met anyone who thinks about getting MBA? What is his/her motivation? What does he/she do for work? What kind of person is he/she?

3. Do you have impression that holding MBA is preferable in the job market in your home country? Why?

4. While business schools offering MBA in the home country increase, do you think getting MBA in a school abroad is better? Why?

Any opinion is welcome! Thank you:)
