The Value of an Option to Apply to MBA
This paper examines the value of a waiting option to apply to an MBA program, when an employee exchanges the existing career for a post MBA. An MBA course is considered as a major step toward a successful business career. Application to the course is the exercise of an option to exchange the existing career for a post-MBA career. The optimal exercise timing of the exchange option is when the value of the exchange option is equal to the total value of cost of the program and the additional compensation from a post-MBA job. An applicant is the optimal exerciser of the exchange option, the quality of which depends on the employment state of the applicant as well. The results have clear implications for management of an MBA school.
