Thanks aerien.
I could use your suggestion with respect to my profile.
1) I have done my Engineering in Information Technology followed by Masters in Operations Management.
2) I was handling family business for 2 years wherein, I was responsible to set up an export oriented manufacturing unit from scratch.
3) Since last 2 years, I have been working in SCM/Project Management profile - a challenging position with a wide scope, in a famous Consumer Durables company.
4) I plan to work in this company for another year after which I will take a call to either pursue MBA or shift to slightly different role in a different company for a year or two.
In future I am looking for roles in SCM/Logistics and more so I am inclined towards International Business.
So my question is - Which of 3 (MLOG, LGO, Regular MBA at Sloan) seem fit for my profile ?
Considering you already have a master's in Operations Management, I'm not sure how much value an MLOG / MSCM will help you career wise. I have the impression that those degrees will cover basically the same material (though I'm not in the program so I could be wrong).
That being said, I do think an MBA seems more in line with your goals. What you should think about more is defining your goals -- how will an MBA enhance what you already have? You don't want the two years to just repeat what you already know. What other skills, besides SCM, do you feel would help you with your career and can an MBA help you gain those skills?
As far as Sloan's MBA vs LGO, you'll have to consider if you need the additional masters in engineering (and which engineering specialty). That depends on your goals post MBA, though I do think your background would make you a pretty viable candidate (most have engineering/science/math backgrounds).
