Explain why you chose your current job. How do you see your career developing over the next five years. How will an MBA assist you in the development of these ambitions?

irst employee of what is now known as the strategy team. I was once asked by the Marketing Director of Unknown Computers what made our best clients successful online. The answer I gave is the reason I want to undertake an MBA, internet technologies are only useful when they integrate with the rest of a business. The answers to the kind of questions I outlined above go well beyond the bounds of the internet, and as my work takes me further and further from home base I need new knowledge, understanding and experience to support myself. As to the future, in five years time I will be either standing in the board rooms of the world’s greatest companies and helping them solve their most interesting problems, or I will be working in some newborn start up company trying to become one of the world’s most interesting companies. I will be able to do this because an MBA will have equipped me with the broad understanding needed to address specific issues accurately. It is my hope that an Oxford MBA will provide me with a chance to do more than learn. It is my hope that a tutorial system will allow me to challenge, to push my tutors as hard as they push me. It is my hope that the Oxford Internet Institute will provide avenues through which I can pursue my ideas about the relationship between the real and virtual worlds. It is my hope that in a multi-disciplinary environment I will find the kind of stimulating and provoking atmosphere that supported me through my first degree.
