INTRODUCTION
Over the years, we have become experts of MBA Development
Programs. We help companies market their programs and
recruit their target candidates. We track in our unique directory
every single development program, worldwide. Finally, we run
bootcamps on campus focused on such programs.
With thousands of MBAs searching our directory, we capture
the programs that students are most interested in so we are
able to produce this first ranking of the Most Popular
MBA Development Programs.
Take a look, let us know what you think,
and please reach out in case we can help.

WHAT ARE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS?
Structured, intense, and often rotational, MBA Development
Programs are fast-track programs within companies to develop
and groom high-potential MBAs for future leadership roles.
They vary a lot from one program to the next as each company
tailors its programs to its specific needs: Structure, duration,
experiential experiences, function focus, rotations, mentorship
and coaching, on-the-job and formal training, etc.
However, what all of them have in common is the objective to
shape and grow the future top leaders of these organizations,
and therefore, the rigorous selection criteria to attract and
recruit the right candidates.

OUR UNIQUE DATA
Since 2011, we, at MBA-Exchange.com, track every MBA
Development Program, worldwide. We add new programs,
archive old ones, and update current ones through monthly
manual checks, regular connections with companies, as well
as on-going automatic processes to alert us of any
intermediary changes.
Our directory currently has 538 programs*. During the last 12
months**, it was used 122’343 times by the students of 75
subscribed business schools that include the top business
schools in the USA, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
----------------------
* Another 500+ programs are archived as no longer active and relevant for our
candidates.
** September 2014 to August 2015

HOW WE RANKED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS?
This report ranks the development programs based on the
122’343 unique views* between September 1, 2014 and August
31, 2015.
In addition to the overall ranking, we also ordered the programs
 By industry, and
 By geographical region
Finally, we extracted a separate ranking for function-specific
programs (e.g. Finance, Commercial, HR, Operations, etc.)
----------------------
* Note that lots of new programs were added recently (sign of improving
economy) and some are not in the rankings (for now), despite current
popularity.

resourcefulness, humility, emotional intelligence, etc.
 Research the programs and identify the right ones for you
 Demonstrate a perfect fit with your target program (hard
skills, soft skills, as well as personality)
