Having a MBA degree is recognized as a ‘ticket’ not only to increase salary, enhanced career process, advanced knowledge and skills, but sometimes as a prerequisite for joining upper managerial ranks. On the other hand, Global and multinational enterprises are developing knowledge networks comprised of workers from around the world who collaborate on product or service innovations, growth and structural cost reduction. At the core of the knowledge-based multinational enterprise is the global manager who has the ability to scan the environment, sense change, understand the firm's capabilities and put measurable and profitable plans in place. Therefore, some researchers studied on whether having a MBA will provide the competencies needed for managers in organizational settings or having a MBA will enhance performances as a manager. This study focused on whether the MBA graduates in Taiwan could possess the competencies which meeting the demand of global managers by self evaluation of graduates.

Based on the survey from 222 available respondents of GMBA, MBA and other business-majored graduates, the output of the study indicated the competencies they possessed by self-evaluation, and MBA graduates have more characteristics of global managers comparing with business-majored graduates. Besides, GMBA graduates have more cross-cultural flexibility than non-MBA graduates. The reference of the training of MBA education with the globalized trend was provided.
