Predicting Compensation and the Attainment of a General Management Position Among MBA Graduates.

Abstract : This paper reports regression results to predict five and ten year earnings and attainment of a general management position for MBA graduates. All regression models have been double cross validated and also validated against a new set of 100 individuals. Separate analyses were run from three information sets: (1) the data available at entrance to the MBA program, (2) data available at graduation from the program, and (3) data available five years after graduation.
