| Text | IMD’s MBA program has been ranked second by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in its annual worldwide survey of international recruiters. The top five schools are: 1. ESADE (Spain) 2. IMD 3. IPADE (Mexico) 4. London Business School 5. Thunderbird (USA) "Our consistent performance over the years at the top of the WSJ ranking is good news", says Professor Benoît Leleux, MBA Program Director, "It reflects the quality of our participants and our program as perceived by recruiters, and it reinforces and enhances the reputation of the IMD MBA program. According to recruiters IMD is the most admired MBA program when it comes to students' international perspective and leadership qualities and produces one of the most international MBA classes of any business school. In addition, we are ranked 8th in the world for “general management” program (as measured by total nominations across all recruiters) and we are ranked 3rd in the world by recruiters from the “energy and industrial products sector." We strongly feel that the small size of the IMD MBA programs is crucial to remain “one of the world's most distinctive schools, with its highly selective boutique MBA program that grooms experienced managers for senior leadership positions” to quote the WSJ. |
