Statement of Purpose – Margaret Esi Quansah

Business brings continents together; it is the common ground for people


worldwide to interact and exchange culture and holds economies and their
strength of authority. I was inspired to pursue a career in business
administration from a young age, witnessing my mother's business
activities. She is a trader in local commodities and is a very business-
oriented person. My keen interest in my mum’s business meant I spent
much time with her at her shop during school breaks and public holidays.
It was not a surprise when I started my first ‘business’ in junior high school
by taking pencils, pens, and cookies on credit from my mum and selling
them to my schoolmates for a little profit. I grew confident in making
judgments and appreciated how good decisions are for businesses.

This experience coupled with my interest in interacting and understanding


figures, their interpretation, meaning and implication to a business
informed my decision to pursue Business as a course at Senior High
School. I continued to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration at the
University of Professional Studies, Accra, Ghana. My performance in
financial reporting, entrepreneurship development, business statistics,
business ethics and quantitative methods put me in a good position to
apply for a graduate program.

Since January 2022 I have been an administrative officer at the Western


Regional Coordinating Council, Sekondi, Ghana. I work closely with the
senior administrative officer monitoring day-to-day business operations,
interacting with external partners, improving business and employee
performance, negotiating contracts, and analysing financial data. Before
this appointment, I completed my mandatory National Service at the
National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) local office in Agona, Ghana. My
core duties were registering clients for health insurance policies, replacing
NHIS cards, and sensitising the public to the importance of NHIS policy. I
also had several vacation internships with three companies: Takoradi Flour
Mills, Ghana Revenue Authority and Metropolitan Life Insurance. During
my internships, I gained experience working as a financial analyst, selling
policies to customers, and using various financial software to investigate
enquiries and queries from suppliers, customers, clients or staff. I also
helped with advice as required.

Over the years, I have been able to build the foundation of my


communication, leadership, and planning skills, and I am very eager to
hone those skills even further.
Getting a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) at this stage in my
career is crucial not only for career development, job security and
improved salary but also for the opportunity to be in a globalised business
environment which will give me the perspective and contacts from
professionals and peers which are invaluable. The Ghanaian government's
launching of ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’ and ‘The Year of Return’ initiatives has
seen an increase in foreign investment. The Ghanaian economy is
gradually evolving into a sophisticated one, employers, companies and
industries are seeking the services of trustworthy employees with
advanced knowledge in business. Therefore, acquiring an MBA at the
University of Saskatchewan will open doors, especially within the
Ghanaian community. I strongly believe that an international,
multidisciplinary, hands-on, and individual programme like an MBA at the
University of Saskatchewan will help me understand the intricacies of
global markets and how their innovation and production impact the
impending globalisation process of the Ghanaian economy. I aim to start
my business consultancy firm soon, where I can carefully analyse financial
trends, offer advice, information, insights, and recommendations to assist
clients in achieving their objectives and train the next generation of
business enthusiasts. A master’s degree at your institution will give me in-
depth knowledge of the business world and the needed transferable soft
and hard skills like collaboration, emotional intelligence, creativity,
SEO/SEM marketing, analytical reasoning and many more.

Over the years, I have been able to build the foundation of my


communication, leadership, and planning skills, and I am very eager to
hone those skills even further. My life, work experiences and commitment
to being the best at whatever I do would be a valuable addition to the
graduate program. The University of Saskatchewan is a premier institution
for many aspiring postgraduate applicants and a very competitive
program. I am highly motivated to rise above the demand, and
competition and explore challenges to excel in my graduate studies. I
believe that graduate study at your institution is the surest step in
attaining my academic and career aspirations.
