What is the value of an MBA in 2026?

Work experience is invaluable, but experience alone doesn’t always provide the frameworks, shared vocabulary or nuanced understanding needed to interpret complex industries and business challenges.

In this clip from Manchester MBA Voices, Professor Reza Salehnajad explains how an MBA complements practical experience by teaching the art of systematic thinking – helping leaders structure problems, connect ideas and make more informed decisions.

What happens when an MBA idea goes from classroom concept to shop shelf?

Full-time MBA students Tom Minnock and Aaron Tonjang met in their first week at Alliance Manchester Business School and transformed their MBA experience into ChewChew, a healthy snack startup.

After presenting at the ISPIM conference in June, the startup gained momentum through support from academics, peers and industry stakeholders. As they put it, ‘ChewChew was born at the Manchester MBA.’

Their research has now been published in academic journals, and ChewChew will launch in 20+ local retailers across Manchester this September.
