Graduates from recognized business schools can grow faster and earn more revenue than those who have not attended business programs. Reputation factor educational institution plays an increasing role. Based on the results of a survey of graduates, the MBA in Moscow and Russia portal has formed the next, seventh in a row, “People's Rating” of the best Russian MBA schools.

Over the past five years, Russian business schools have been predominantly focused on managers aged 25-35. The study "MBA in Moscow and Russia" (www.mba.su) showed that the group of 36-40 years old accounts for about a third of students, and managers age group 41+ are numerically only slightly inferior to the young.

More than 70% of survey participants noted that they began to receive business education, working in the positions of middle and top managers, 10% - in the status of business owners. Four years later (two years of study plus two years after graduation), the share of middle managers decreased by 19%. Accordingly, the shares of top managers (up to 52%) and business owners (up to 21%) almost doubled.

Most of the graduates of Russian business schools, according to the survey, are men (in some - up to 89%), however, in schools with a predominantly younger audience, the proportion of women is higher.

Performance criteria

One of the main indicators of the effectiveness of MBA education around the world is the level of income two years after the end of the program. In most cases, MBA graduates improve their career position, accompanying it with an increase in income. According to mba.su, the income of middle managers after MBA grows on average by 44%, top managers - by 57%, business owners - by 96%. Even in the case of zero career growth, MBA graduates record an increase in income of 29-54%.

On average, for business schools whose graduates took part in the survey, their income growth was 54% two years after graduation from the MBA program. As a result of the training, 11% of middle and top managers became business owners.

Incentives for income growth are not reduced to the very existence of a diploma, but to those new opportunities to influence the overall success of the business, which are provided by the obtained expertise. The new education helps to organize their work differently and improve the efficiency of work processes. Everything greater importance acquires the development of soft skills aimed at leadership skills, emotional intellect, effective communication.

MBA ratings are based on feedback from respondents who have already received an MBA degree. Polls are conducted by magazines, special rating companies. After analyzing the received questionnaires, a rating of business schools is made.

The mission of the MBA programs is to prepare leaders focused on the rapid development of their future careers. Graduates are people with leadership qualities, strategic thinking and analytical skills, who are able to effectively manage in the spheres of the municipality, business, government apparatus, and education. Such personnel is a valuable find that generates development and expansion of the entrusted business.

Rating principles

The rating of MBA programs was compiled on the basis of information provided from the schools themselves. The survey involves school graduates who have completed a full-time full-time program, the number of respondents is more than 9000 people.

• income after three years;
• salary growth before and after MBA school;
• justification of the investment in the MBA school;
• academic performance, faculty and student body.

Based on the results of a survey of graduates, the MBA in Moscow and Russia portal (website) has formed the next, eighth, "People's rating" of the best MBA business schools at Russian market ... The survey was carried out with the support of alumni associations of most Russian business schools.

As in last year's ranking, the positions of business schools were determined by the sum of the arithmetic mean estimates of MBA and EMBA graduates of the following parameters: increase in income, career, the level of established business relationships, personal and professional development. The graduates rated each parameter from 1 (useless) to 5 (excellent). It should be emphasized that all these assessments express the degree of satisfaction of graduates with the learning outcomes and are not always directly related to specific figures of income that graduates receive two years after graduating from business schools.

The main feature of the results of the current survey is more restrained estimates for almost all indicators. There can be several explanations for this, from a decline in the quality of training to the impact of the general economic situation. Obviously, in 2014-2015. employers' requirements for the knowledge and skills of managers increased significantly, while the growth of salaries was limited. Therefore, students, in turn, have higher learning requirements and would like to see more effective returns.

Judging by the estimates, it can be assumed that many business schools were unable to quickly reorganize and continue to teach in the previous, "pre-crisis" mode. Only the assessments of personal and professional development are still high, here business schools give consistently high results.

Another feature of this year's survey was the assessments of core business courses in MBA program and EMBA. Students evaluated the teaching of the following disciplines: economics, management, marketing, finance, project management, information management. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the assessments of teaching business courses are higher than the indicators of satisfaction with learning outcomes in general. We see one of the most probable explanations for this in the difficulties of putting the acquired knowledge into practice that business school graduates face.

Based on a survey of MBA graduates in 2013-2015, the portrait of students in MBA programs in Russian business schools was updated. As before, the majority are men, although their share has decreased from 74% to 68%. Accordingly, the share of MBA trainees increased by 6%.

As you can see, the largest age segments account for more than three quarters (76%).

Most MBA graduates decided to get a business education, working in the positions of middle managers (42%) and top managers (28%). The remaining third were line managers (19%) and business owners (11%).

After studying for an MBA the share of middle managers decreased by 17%, the share of line managers - by 15%. At the same time, the number of senior managers grew by 20% and the number of business owners doubled (22%).
Career trajectories within each managerial category show a general tendency for steady promotions after completion of MBA training.

International business school rankings usually use real annual figures wages reported by MBA graduates. The domestic mentality does not imply such frankness, therefore, in the People's rating, the graduate indicates only the percentage of his income increase and assesses his satisfaction with his growth on a five-point scale. In other words, the graduate assesses the degree to which the actual result corresponds to salary expectations upon admission.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, career growth was accompanied by an increase in income. Average income growth for all job categories MBA students 2 years after graduating from business schools in Moscow amounted to 47% , in St. Petersburg - 58% , in the regions - 34% .

Out of 43 business schools in terms of the number of submitted questionnaires, only thirty were able to make it to the short list of participants in the VIII National Rating. As in the previous ratings, in order to compensate for errors, one rating place was assigned to schools, the total points of which differed from each other by less than 0.03.
Participants in the VIII People's Ranking of Business Schools collectively represent at least 95% of the market for Russian MBA programs. Indicators for each business school are presented .
