Figure 6 shows the growth in number of MBA opportunities. Regional and global MBA employers headquartered in the US and Europe are fuelling the growth in demand worldwide. Local companies in Asia and Latin America still account for relatively few MBA opportunities and recruiters in such organisations have reported only limited plans for an increase in MBA hiring.

However, this data potentially underestimates the actual number of opportunities in certain regions. For example, many MBAs in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe are hired through head offices in the US or Western Europe. Although 38% of responding recruiters are based in North America, Figure 7 reveals that 40% of these recruiters have some responsibility for recruiting globally or in Europe, Asia or Latin America.

Similarly, European recruiters make up 28% of our sample, but 36% of these recruiters also have some responsibility for recruiting globally or in North America, Asia or Latin America.
