2007-2008 Salary Survey Data is Available
These data now are available for use with our benchmarking tools as part of a
DataDirect subscription. As an additional feature this year, we have added the
ability to create quick reports using comparison groups incorporating schools
that have reported in multiple currencies. In multiple currency comparison
groups, all currencies are automatically converted to United States dollars for
simple comparison. All currency conversion is available only in the Quick
Reports section. Currency conversion is only available in the items under Quick
Reports. For comparison groups where all schools reported in the same currency,
you now also have the option to disable currency conversion to view the reports
in that currency.

Canadian Executives Unaware of Gender Gap in Business
Schools
According to a recent survey Queen's School of Business, 8 of 10
executives estimate the percentage of females in Canadian MBA programs to be
higher than actual percentage. When executives were informed of the actual
percentage, which is about 25 percent, three quarters (74 percent) describe the
imbalance as a "very significant" or "somewhat significant" problem for Canada.

Class of ’08 Faces Scramble for Jobs
“According to a survey conducted last fall by the National Association of
Colleges and Employers, a Bethlehem, Pa., nonprofit, large employers initially
expected to boost hiring of new graduates 16 percent, on average, this year from
last year's levels. After redoing the survey in February, NACE found employers
planned a more modest 8 percent increase overall. Within financial services,
hiring is now anticipated to fall 7.5 percent this year, as investment banks
announce sweeping cutbacks.”

Strategy and Management – Diversity – Why Boards Don’t Get
Women
“When Cranfield Business School launched its International Centre for Women
Business Leaders in 1999, more than a third of FTSE 100 companies did not have a
single woman on their boards. That proportion has steadily fallen, dipping below
one-quarter last year, according to the centre’s statistics.
In a report coinciding with the 100th International Women’s Day
on 8 March, the centre revealed that the number of female FTSE 100 directors
almost doubled from just 5.6 per cent in 2000 to 11 per cent in 2006.
But while the statistics are moving in the right direction, one
seasoned observer claims that the corporate approach to gender needs a thorough
rethink.”
