The MBA landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional roles are evolving rapidly due to automation, artificial intelligence<\/a>, and intensifying global competition. Skills that defined management careers a decade ago are being supplemented and in some cases replaced by new capabilities centred on data, technology, and digital business models.<\/span><\/p>\n
