2010-2011

WelcomeFrom The MBA Tour’s Managing Director,

The MBA Tour is pleased to announce our new schedule for the summer and fall 2010 and spring 2011 recruiting seasons. We are excited to present changes to our event schedule, tour pricing, marketing outreach, event formats and website services that will provide you more opportunities for differentiating your programs. We are looking forward to your participation with The MBA Tour this season!

Changes to our Event Schedule Beginning with our event schedule, we have added Hyderabad back to the India Tour as a fourth city in response to requests from schools that want to expand their presence in India. Also, to help you save recruiting costs in a tough market, we are allowing alumni to represent schools in Buenos Aires on the Latin America Tour. Finally, we added optional school presentations to 3 additional cities this year: Bogotá, Vancouver, and Mumbai. This now brings the total number of events with school presentations to 21!

Tour Pricing Changes To encourage schools to partner with The MBA Tour, we have initiated a discount structure designed to encourage schools to use our events strategically. The MBA Tour will offer discounts to schools for participation on multiple tours during the recruiting and interviewing seasons (please contact us for details). Finally, to make it easier for you to plan your recruiting budget with us, we unbundled our event and travel prices.

Expanded Marketing Outreach Over the past three years The MBA Tour has designed and built its social marketing capabilities in North America. The MBA Tour now has one of the leading MBA resource Facebook fan pages with over 8000 fans at www.facebook.com/TheMBATour. Schools that travel with us can leverage this space to improve their own outreach and presence within the online community. In 2010 we will expand our social networking outreach by creating local language and country specific fan groups to capture a global audience. We are also expanding our

local partner relationships around the world to increase qualified event attendees and improve outreach to younger students.

Event Format Changes In addition to expanding the number of cities with opportunities for school presentations, we will also expand the breadth of our information panels this season. In many cities we will offer panels on financial aid that may include local NGOs and banks that offer grants and low interest loans. More importantly, we will encourage you to participate in these panels as another great opportunity for you to gain exposure and showcase the strengths of your financial aid program. We are also adding panels in selected cities addressing the GMAT and English language proficiency in which both local partners and school representatives can participate.

More Website Services We are excited to present improved website services for students and schools. For students, we are upgrading school information to include multiple programs within a university. Now you can showcase non MBA programs and Executive MBAs alongside your full time MBA programs. We are also enhancing the Peer Benchmarking module to include more information students can enter about themselves and compare with their peers. In addition, you will be able to see those students who volunteer information after being accepted or are enrolling in your programs.

Perhaps more important are the new services we are offering to improve your marketing effectiveness on the road. First, we have initiated The MBA Tour Dashboard which is accessible from your MBA Tour website landing page. The Dashboard shows the results of each event you attended including the number of students that plan to apply to your program

pre event and match to your program through the MBA Spotlight Survey (See below) as well as the total number of candidates you met during the event (using the scanning system). Beginning in the summer of 2010, The MBA Tour will post your individual school session attendance and the number of students that now plan to apply to your program as reported by attendees in a post event survey. Finally, we are pleased to introduce MBA Spotlight. The culmination of 18 months of research and development, MBA Spotlight matches a student’s important decision criteria for choosing an MBA program with specific MBA program profiles. Last year we had 11 schools pilot the program, which included the use of information from our custom designed, proprietary student Spotlight survey. Unlike most surveys, The MBA Spotlight Survey reveals student preferences rather than asking students to declare preferences. The difference is important because revealed preferences indicate how a student may actually choose their program. This year we are finalizing the program by allowing schools to meet their matches at events.

Here’s how it works: Schools participating in this program will establish ideal candidate profiles for their programs. Students who take the survey will reveal their top preferences for choosing an MBA program. If their preferences match your program profile, they will receive a personalized email from you inviting them to meet your representative at our event. Each MBA Tour event will have a special time allocated for Spotlight students to meet with school representatives.

I am looking forward to your success on the road with The MBA Tour!

Best wishes,

Peter von Loesecke, CEO and Managing Director

Differentiateyouruniversity’sbrandthroughourcomprehensiveeventformats:

FullMBAConferenceFormatIncludes:

Individual School Presentations: University representatives regard the presentations as one of our most useful event formats. The presentations are an opportunity to showcase a university’s unique program aspects

to a group of prospective students. Admissions representatives have 30-35 minutes in a private room to highlight the features of their program. Typically there are three to six other universities presenting in concurrent sessions. Individual School Presentations are cur rently offe red i n t he follo wing ci ties: Asia: Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore Canada: Vancouver (new), Toronto Europe: London, Paris India: B angalore, Mumbai ( new ) Latin America: Bogotá (new) Mexico Ci ty, Santiago, São Paulo US (all cities): Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC

Panel Presentations: Panel Presentations are 45 minute sessions that cover valuable business school admissions topics and answer a wide range of MBA applicant questions. Admissions representatives have the opportunity to participate

on the panels and share their topic advice with a large group of prospective students. Topics in the past include:

How Admission Decisions are Made, Managing Your MBA Career Search, and Financing your MBA. In 2010 we will expand the well received Financing your MBA panel to more cities in addition to introducing new panel topics including GMAT and English language proficiency advice.

Open Fair The Open Fair is strategically placed at the end of our MBA conferences. This allows applicants to first gather information from either or both the Individual School Presentations and Panel Presentations in order to prepare for speaking one on one with admissions representatives. At the Open Fair admissions representatives and alumni have the opportunity to meet with a large number of applicants in a short period of time.

Round Table Workshops: Round Table Workshops are highly personalized and interactive, they represent the most unique MBA Tour event format. These events accommodate a select and focused group of highly qualified applicants and a small number of universities to maximize interaction. Applicants sit at a table of five to ten people. Admissions representatives spend ten to fifteen minutes interacting with applicants and then rotate to present at the next table. Representatives therefore have the opportunity to speak to every applicant at the event, maximizing outreach in a short period of time.

Helpingyoutoimproveyoureffectivenessatourevents:

Scanners & Registration Lists In 2010 we will continue the use of university scanners at our events. Not only do scanners help you record the candidates you meet, they also help you eliminate the back office costs of re-entering data from events while you are on the road. The MBA Tour staff will upload the information you scanned at your table which will then be available for you to download. To appropriately target your message, you can download three sets of lists: all event registrants, event attendees, and attendees you scanned at your table. (Please note: On-site registrants will be uploaded within one week of the event date)

Improveyourmarketingandresultsthroughourinformationservices:

Registration Profiles Prior to our events, we ask students to share personal information during registration. The MBA Tour staff will provide you with a pre-registration profile that will cover important candidate demographic information such as median age, programs of interest, their employer industry and profession.

University Dashboard The University Dashboard is a new 2010 feature that gives a real time measurement of your effectiveness at each event. After an event you can view online event statistics on the number of event attendees, applicants scanned at your table, school presentation attendance, applicants who intend to apply to your program and other useful data that will help instantly show your success at an event.

Post-event Surveys

The MBA Tour staff will send out post-event surveys to prospective students. In each survey we ask candidates to tell us which schools they will now apply to as a result of their attending the MBA Tour event. We will share the results with you in our tour reports and also ask

students about important factors influencing their choice of an MBA program. From a list of ten factors, students are asked to identify no more than five factors that will heavily influence their choice. Schools participating in our fall and spring tours have already read the results from these surveys and now can tailor their presentations to the needs of students in these markets.

The MBA Tour Scholarship

The MBA Tour charges a nominal fee in some cities and commits all revenue to a scholarship fund. This year the scholarship foundation will offer two 20,000 USD scholarships to two students who meet the award criteria. Universities may nominate one candidate and each student may receive only one university nomination.

The 2009 winners: Suppamas Sawatyanon, currently attending College of William and Mary and Michael Darko, currently attending Michigan’s Ross School of Business.

Helpingyoufocusonrecruitingthebestqualitystudentsbyremovingthehassleoftravelplanning:

Travel Packages Our intention with offering travel packages is to help you manage the stress and complications of travel and instead allow you to focus on your recruitment strategy. Our travel packages include: airfare from the first city to last city on tour, single room accommodations in 4-5 star hotels with full breakfast included, airport transfers during group travel, airport departure taxes, a welcome dinner, a tour reception, and professional tour leaders who travel with the group from city to city.

ApplicationProcess

ToParticipateinaTourorEvent

Business schools interested in The MBA Tour must submit an application in advance of the tour. MBA programs are selected on their quality, their commitment to international recruiting, services for international students, and the diversity (curriculum, philosophy, program cost, geography) that they would add to the tour. With few exceptions, the MBA programs included in our events are taught in English.

ApplyforaTour

Applying for tour is easy. Simply link to our on-line application form and follow the instructions:

http://www.thembatour.com/universityArea/TourRegistration.jsp

Once you have filled out the application, you will receive a confirmation email. However, we cannot confirm your participation until your university profile has been updated.

If you have additional questions please feel free to contact us: [email protected]

OurSelectionProcess

The MBA Tour limits the number of business schools on a tour to ensure that each program has good exposure at our events and receives the same level of high service that we aim to provide. Priority is given to returning schools. New schools are selected on the basis of several criteria:

GlobalQualifications:

•LengthoftimeinMBAmarket•OfferaFullTimeMBAProgram•Offeracampus-basedMBAprogram•Holdnon-profitstatus•Havealreadytraveledwithuswithinthelast5years

LocalQualifications:

•USA:AACSBaccreditation•EuropeandUK:EQUIS,AMBAorEFMD

accreditation•ForthosecountrieswithoutregionalMBA

accreditation: all global qualifications must be met; must be recognized and respected by peer schools in country; must have local certification or accredited partner program

•Willdrawqualifiedstudentstotheeventthat otherwise might not come

In some of our local markets, there are schools that will add value to our tour events by targeting specific populations of students. For this reason, we consider them “Schools of Opportunity.”

opportunitiesPleasenote:If you are a school applying to one of our tours for the first time, your application will be reviewed by our Advisory Board, and we will notify you of the decision. Our policy is to allow schools that have participated in our past tours to apply by the deadline, and then if there is space remaining on the tour you are applying for, your application will be considered at that time.

BusinessSchoolRepresentatives

Business School representatives in events organized by The MBA Tour must be full-time, campus-based professionals and should have extensive knowledge of their programs and admissions requirements. Throughout the tour, university representatives have the opportunity to collaborate in panels and school presentations that orient students and colleagues to current information and trends. It is important that the person designated by the university to travel with us be capable of contributing to an ongoing professional dialogue with prospective students and local colleagues about admissions issues and innovations in MBA programs.
