Top Development Programs 2021
This article is part of the "2021 Ranking of MBA Development Programs". At the time of this writing, our Development Program Directory has 578 programs, with this article focusing on the top ten!
The top three programs for this past year were Amazon MBA/Master's Level Full-Time Opportunities, Siemens CEO* Program and Chevron Business & Commercial MBA Program which took first, second and third place respectively. Siemens CEO* Program dropped to second place, having held the top spot for the two previous years, and was surpassed by Amazon MBA/Master's Level Full-Time Opportunities. This is understandable given the rate of Amazon's growth, especially recently, spurred on by the global pandemic.
The Technology trend has continued this year, with half of the top spots requiring technical backgrounds. There was also a significant increase in Healthcare this year, with three of the top ten companies having a large footprint in that industry, one of the being Johnson & Johnson who made it to fifth place this year. Both of these trends could be indicative of an increased demand, from a technical labor force, for increased leadership positions and responsibilities.
AB InBev, however, has dropped out of the top three, down to sixth place, and still remains the only company in the Consumer Goods industry on the list. This could be related to several factors, most notably that AB InBev provides good which are usually purchased in-person, whereas the pandemic has seen an overall increase in online purchasing.
All in all, the trends from last year seem to be holding for the most part, with some changes in other areas, which are most likely outcomes of the global pandemic.
