A growing number of MBAs are interested in working for Small Multinational Enterprises, start-ups or boutique consultancies. Many such firms are owned or managed by MBAs who want to hire dynamic business developers, marketing specialists, salesmen, financial
"wizards" and analysts: all classic MBA roles.

6.4 FUNCTIONAL ROLES

Figure 8 reveals that over 16% of responding employers offer roles in finance (other), whilst 13% of employers offer roles in marketing (in our 2007 survey, employers could only pick the primary functional role for which they recruit). General management and strategic planning follow at 10% each. Consulting is not the most common function available to MBAs, selected by only 9% of responding employers, followed by Finance Advisory - 7%. Roles offered reflect a return to the basics of management - away from e-commerce and towards marketing, strategic planning, sales, and finance.
