The authors compare business schools in Russia and leading foreign business schools. The basis for comparison is a number of indicators that form the rating of business schools. Such indicators are income growth of graduates, career growth, personal and professional development and others. The authors also noted the trend towards increasing popularity of business schools among university graduates, as well as among representatives of the top management of different organizations. This trend is caused primarily by the high level of competition among employers for well-educated and talented candidates, the need of existing managers to meet modern requirements and competencies. Issues on the importance of business education are very common in the modern research environment. This topic is raised by many Russian and foreign researchers. The study methods include general theoretical research methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization and systematization. The data of the national MBA rating in Russia and the global MBA rating were used for the research purposes. Based on the results of the comparison, conclusions were made about the current state of the business education in Russia and abroad, as well as about differences between Russian and foreign business education. Following modern market trends, compliance with the competencies required for management representatives, effective management and strategic development of the organization are the questions that can be answered by training in business schools.

Case competitions provide a unique opportunity for students at all academic levels to amalgamate and synthesize everything they learn in the classroom into an applied real-world context utilizing the case construct. Most of these contests are ungraded, thereby allowing students, mentors, and faculty on both sides of the proverbial desk to be highly candid in their feedback without creating an uncomfortable situation, allowing it to be more constructive, affecting the culture of a traditional classroom or their grade point average, or impacting teaching evaluations. The result is often an analytically rigorous paper or PowerPoint presentation where students can adroitly demonstrate their knowledge of the concepts, effectively defend their recommendations, engage in meaningful Q&A, and follow best practices related to teamwork. This study aims to explore the mentorship and coaching strategies for case competition teams in undergraduate and graduate academic programs. The two most significant factors affecting case competition rank are “Mentor Hours” and “Effort Invested as a Team.”
