    Mba Students' Preference On: Online, Formal and Hybrid Mba Programs
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Erkan, Turan Erman
    In recent years, there has been a rapid rise in student enrolments in both online and formal MBA programs. This study is based on the results of a case study in which over 30 students enrolled in a top-ranked online and formal MBA program. Thus, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been used for choosing the program. Due to the inability of AHP to deal with the impression and subjectiveness in the pair-wise comparison process, the FAHP has been used. The result of the research is interesting since neither an online nor a formal education program is preferred; a hybrid one has been developed. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
