The "M" of MBA (6)

I believe the answer is:

master

(Other definitions for master that I've seen before include "Teacher to gain control" , "Lord - controller - teacher" , "One in complete control; great artist" , "Skilful operator; teacher" , "Schoolteacher" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
