Top Schools for Corporate Strategy/Development?
The top schools for Corporate Strategy and Corporate Development are generally considered to be the MBA business schools">M7 schools. Outside of the MBA business schools">M7, it becomes more difficult to find Corp Strat/Dev roles. Are any of the top 20 outside of the MBA business schools">M7 that are better or worse than others in this regard? I'm very interested in learning more about these career paths.
This is a related question to the one I posed in a recent thread, so I decided to do some digging. Stats from most recent employment reports I could find, not all data/terms are MECE but I just pulled what sounded most relevant from what I saw.
Given the terms and numbers, seems like Fuqua and Haas might be slightly ahead for corporate strategy...though it's ultimately hard to tell since no two schools seems to report the same way.
Tuck: 6% Corp Fin, 18% General Management Darden: 4% Business Development/Strategic Planning, 11% Corp Fin, 9% Executive Development/Leadership Fuqua: 8% internal consulting/corp strat, 3% corp fin, 3% business dev, 3% rotational/leadership Anderson: 10.1% Corp Fin/FP&A, 6.6% Corp/Business Development Stern: 9% General/Corp Fin, 3% strategic planning, 3% Business Development Ross: 3.4% Internal Consulting, 7% Corp Fin, 2.9% Strategic Planning Haas: 16.8% Strategy / Business development, Yale: 11.6% General management Kenan-Flagler; 10% Corp Fin, 9% general management
Great research. This matches what one would expect for most of these. Fuqua is generally known as a consulting school so it looks like it is also strong in corporate strategy. It also looks like the west-coast schools probably are a pathway into tech corp dev. For the reporting here, my guess is that the "corporate finance" route typically falls under roles like treasury for F500 companies. General management or executive development are probably also F500, but on the managerial side.
