Top Development Programs 2020
This article is part of the “2020 Ranking of MBA Development Programs”. At the time of this writing, our Development Program Directory has 535 programs, with this article focusing on the top ten!
The top three programs for this past year were Siemens CEO* Program, AB InBev Global MBA Internship and AB InBev Global MBA Program (USA) which took first, second and third place respectively. Siemens CEO* Program maintains its number one spot, which it also held last year, moving up from the second spot the year prior. Their popularity is understandable, given their willingness to assist applicants with a work permit if they require one, as well as the application deadline for the program being ongoing throughout the year.
It is interesting to note that, while the majority of the companies on this list are in the Technology, Industrial Products & Services or Energy & Utility industries, two of the top three spots were secured by AB InBev, in the Consumer Products industry. They moved up from seventh and fifth place respectively in last year's rankings.
With that said, there is a clear trend in the direction of technology/engineering when it comes to the most popular programs this past year. Four of the programs (Siemens, Amazon, Microsoft, Emerson) require a background in technology or engineering, with many of the others having it as a plus.
With the exponential growth of technology, compounded with the increasing integration into more facets of life, and the coming of age of younger generations which have been surrounded by technology as part of their upbringing, this is a trend that will most likely continue, and potentially increase as time goes on.
