I'm in a bit of a pickle here, guys. Both schools seem great to me. I'm a 32-year-old male Indian based in the middle East (UAE-Dubai), I've been working here in the retail sector for 7 years, specifically in distribution. Post MBA: similar industry or Amazon. Open to exploring other areas. Location : Europe or UK.
I am leaning towards IMD because of the program structure and leadership focus. Also, I have a basic level knowledge of french and intend to build up on it. Not sure if that's really a strong positive though. My intention is to work in EU/UK for a few years then head back to Dubai. A big factor to consider is the fees, IMD costs a lot more (108k$ compared to SDA 70k$) . What do you think ?

SusheelKumar are you in the process of applying to these schools or do you have the admit decisions?
In my opinion, IMD holds a considerably stronger MBA brand and significantly better post MBA opportunities.

IMD is more established and better known, especially amongst recruiters.
I haven't heard much about Bocconi but an alum once told me that they selectively contacted their grads for the employment surveys in order to boost their rankings in short time. Something to check is whether Bacconis employment report is 3rd party audited. There's a company that does it globally and they list the schools on the website. I recall IMD was on it.
Good luck.
