LBS vs INSEAD, which is better?

以下是引用nnm在2007-3-1 13:34:00的发言：

Here is my thought. INSEAD is better in Strategy and General Management, while LBS is better in Finance. So if you are looking at MC, go to INSEAD, if IB, go to LBS.

Personally, I think INSEAD is better in general.

But honestly, LBS graduates can get more job offers than INSEAD because of the location, class size and the nature of finance market.

Dear 重拳出击

You have posted it a million times. Don't you feel a bit fed up?

We all know LBS is good at finance, but getting IB offers not a evidence as convincing as you might think it is.

And, if you like "talk in data", that's fine, here you go:

The main numbers I was looking at (and care about):

Number of hires Insead/LBS:

McK: 74/16
BCG: 40/2
Bain: 30/2

When you consider that LBS is roughly 1/3 the size of Insead, its still not even close. Also, the employment reports show that about 1/3 of Insead students go into MC and 1/4 of LBS students go into MC.

I think the Insead numbers reflect 05 recruiting but are consistent with trends over the years. I have seen figures that show Insead sending as many as 90-100 to McK. The LBS numbers are for 2006. The question is, why such great disparity given that both schools enjoy a similar reputation? Do students at LBS have significantly less interest in these jobs or are they getting fewer offers?

You might wanna say " ha, that's MC, not IB".

Right, I 100% agree with you. But where is your point?

hehe, nnm, easy. I think people just have different opinions upon this. And personally, I dont see why they want to compare the two schools as they are just like apple and orange. They have very different focus and strength.

For us, INSEAD should be better choice but for others, probably not.It's all about personal choice.

I always think the job placements, particularly for top schools, are highly relating to students' previous working experience. It's not very meaningful for applicants who don't have outstanding working experience prior to entering top business schools. 

I find people seldem discuss schools' courses and faculty in details here when they compare different schools or programs. Well.... I know it's a natural phenomenon for work-oriented programs.
