According to a survey of 95 schools from around the world conducted via Internet by GMAC, the body that offers GMATs, nearly half of all MBA graduates change jobs after they have finished their MBA. They use the degree as a springboard to find new jobs and to position themselves further up the management ladder.
Prestige of the business school that they are going to attend for their MBA is also really high on the list of criteria for selection of their degree. 39% said that global recognition was a major factor in their choice of schools, and beat other factors such as location, subject options and rankings.
It seems that quality of the school is a major issue that they feel will add to the reputation of their own degree - most important when you are looking for a new job, as you will wish to be associated with "the best".
