Writing Motivation letter

I wish to convey my motivation for a Masters programme in Business Administration

offered by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)
under the technical assistant project for young Syrians and Jordanians. With a BSc. in Dental
technology (Dental laboratory option) from my undergraduate, I wish then to focus on Business
Administration. I am specifically fascinated in the integration of management, finances,
accounting, information systems, organizational behavior, marketing, leadership, economics,
ethics, and security courses in the MBA programme. My dental laboratory projects have
borrowed heavily from some of these courses such as health care marketing, healthcare funding,
health economics and evaluation, health policy analysis, introduction to health management,
proposal development for health care leaders and other MBA course critical to dental laboratory
health care.
A masters degree in business administration would help me contribute to addressing the
humanitarian crisis facing Syrian refugees and their Jordanian hosts. The Syrian refugee problem
is currently the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. My dental technology and dental
laboratory undergraduate knowledge have stirred my thought about the suffering of the Syrian
refugees and their Jordanian host. The cosmetic treatment that is currently being applied to the
Syrian crisis would not solve the humanitarian problem and economic burden caused by the
refugees. Short-term solutions such as relief aid to Syrian refugees are similarly comparable to
treatment of a tooth ache with a pain killer, which only temporary stops the pain. Like a tooth
ache, the Syrian crisis requires a permanent solution that would permanently resolve the crisis
one and for all. Such a long-term solution to the Syrian crisis is similarly comparable to the
removal of an aching tooth, which provides a lasting solution to the pain. However, long-term

solutions for the humanitarian problems and economic burden caused by the Syrian crisis do not
necessarily require diplomatic or coercive interventions to end the crisis. A diplomatic or
coercive solution to the crisis has persistently eluded supranational bodies such as the United
Nations Security Council, which are entrusted with maintenance of international security and
peace. But, despite the failure of such supranational bodies to settle the international security and
peace concerns in Syria, the Syrians cannot be left to solve problems on their own. A masters
degree in Business Administration provides alternative means of addressing the humanitarian
problem and economic burden caused by the Syrian crisis. Such alternative solutions include
application of professional courses such as strategic public relation management, crisis
management and communication, sustainability and corporate social responsibility, ethics and
professional practice in finance amongst other MBA courses.
Firstly, crisis management and communication topics and simulations can be exploited in
the synthesis of a hypothetical understanding of all the aspects of the Syrian crisis. Such aspects
include the basis of the crisis in terms of the socio-economic and political pressure, the complex
escalation of the conflict within and outside Syria. MBA crisis management and communications
model can also form the basis for the management of humanitarian problem and economic
burden caused by the crisis. Such management topics include management of media and issues,
controlling activists and other interest parties.
Secondly, MBA strategic public relations management course is particularly critical in
promoting the public relation image for the humanitarian organizations involved in the Syrian
crisis for a sustainable funding from the global community. A poor public relation image of a
humanitarian organization would worsen the plight of the Syrian refugee who would pay for the
sins their humanitarian organizations. The impact of a poor public relation image on a

humanitarian aid organization is similar to the plight of innocent citizens who are adversely
affected by economic sanctions to a state.
Thirdly, sustainability and corporate social responsibility course would impact my
knowledge on the moral responsibility of business management leaders to the welfare of the
society at large. CSR would hence help me understand and educate others on the moral
responsibility of well-off Jordanians to take care of their less fortunate Syrian brothers. In a
couple of years, I am looking forward to engaging my professional training and experience in
MBA to import business administration leadership styles to the management of humanitarian
crisis and economic burden caused by the Syrian crisis. For instance, your MBA topic on
facilitative leadership may provide a novelty solution for promoting trust amongst Jordanian and
Syrian refugees. Facilitative leadership may also address mistrust between Jordanian citizens and
foreigners, which could be attributed to tension created by a traditional command and control
leadership style. MBA courses in economic, finances and accounting could also help me in
spearheading a holistic policy decision-making process that addresses the competing needs of
Jordanians and foreigners.
To the best of my knowledge, your Masters programme in business administration is
highly competitive, and attracts excellent students, but I am certain that my excellent academic
credentials and passion for the programme presents me as the ideal candidate for the course. It
would be my greatest pleasure if you consider my placement to Masters in business
administration at a Jordanian university.
