Multinational companies snub Spanish graduates in favour of Asian counterparts

SPANISH universities are seeing a decline in the number of MBA students heading into multinational companies.

Demand for postgraduates from Asia is impacting on the number of jobs available to European graduates, according to a University of Navarra business report.

Dean of the university, Jordi Canals, said that many multinational companies are targeting MBA graduates from Asia – in particular Hong Kong and China – as a way to extend their global reach.
