Is an MA in Management just as good as an MBA


Is an MA in Management just as good as an MBA?
Is an MS or MA in Management with a concentration in International Management just as good of a degree as an MBA? I know it won't beat an MBA but does it have some cache'?

No. an MBA is a Masters degree which outweighs any MA or MS degree. the more education the better pay.....

They are not "better" - they are different. The MBA is a generalist practitioner degree covering all areas of business operation. An MA in Management is an academic degree specializing in the academic and theoretical study of management as a field of study. The MBA is a "how to..." degree whereas the MA is a "why we do..." degree. In some circles (all things equal), the MBA will be considered the preferred credential (such as managing a business) - in others (such as in a college as a teacher of management) the MA will be preferred. They are, in fact, apples and oranges.
