Increasingly global competition, whether to attract the best students or the best teachers. Students who appreciate speakers from the professional world but schools who need professors who do research and publish to climb the international rankings. Increasing demands on the profiles of school leaders and rising incomes. A lack of preparation of graduates for the professional world. For several years, McKinsey's “Future ok work” reports have noted a lack of preparation of future graduates for the professional world (note, however, that these reports are not limited to business schools, which are in question here). Unique specificity of the French market for prep classes in an international bachelor/master type model. Which leads the students who follow this model to almost graduate with internships when the others only join a Grande Ecole in the 1st year.
Selectivity of business schools in France One element reveals the importance of welcoming Email Data more students: the number of places in the entrance exam. It keeps growing. Many campuses have significantly expanded in recent years. If we look at some figures more closely, the top 5 business schools offer: Sources: That’s 320 more places in the Top 5 in 7 years. Almost the equivalent of one more promotion for the TOP 5. The good news is that this allows the 2,000th best prep class student to join a Top 5 school, whereas this was not possible just 7 years ago. That said, this increase in the size of promotions is confronted with a very concrete operational reality: the capacity limits of theaters. At the same time as the size of the classes is increasing, schools are no longer full: 97% full and 8 schools which are not “filling. This observation is made without any real explanations being provided.
These subjects, the interconnection between finances, selectivity and adaptability to the labor market, are particularly sensitive. A school today must achieve a balance between these 3 dimensions, otherwise it risks losing legitimacy and being downgraded in the rankings. International competition: global competition for business schools International pressure adds to these local tensions. Indeed, business schools are evolving today in a global context on several levels: recruitment of professors, recruitment of students, international career opportunities offered to students and therefore attractiveness, etc. We note 2 types of strategy on this point: the opening/creation of campuses in other territories (Skema, INSEEC U, Toulouse BS, EM Normandie, ESCP Europe, Dauphine, etc.) and the development of partnerships (Audencia, Neoma, etc.)
