In France, graduates of business or engineering schools and university graduates represent\na population of managers with potential or with high potential. That is why the study of this\npopulation is an important issue for companies. First of all, we need to recall the situation of\nhigher education in France which is divided between the ââ?¬Å?grandes Ã?©colesââ?¬Â and public\nuniversities. The ââ?¬Å?grandes Ã?©colesââ?¬Â represent elite higher education establishments because\nthey are very selective in their admission of students. These schools include business\nschools (for example HEC, ENS, etc.) and engineering schools (for example Polytechnique, les\nMines, Arts et mÃ?©tiers, etc.). The objective of this paper is to study the effect of degree\n(aââ?¬Å?grandes Ã?©colesââ?¬Â degree vs a university degree), gender and age on the perceptions of key\nsuccess factors for promotion. We have also drawn a comparison between managers\naccording to different criteria (sex, degree, etc). Our results have shown that in general, the\nmanagerial characteristics are perceived as crucial for promotions. However, women and\nuniversity graduates attach more importance to technical competencies than men and\nââ?¬Å?grandes Ã?©colesââ?¬Â graduates. Whereas older managers are more inclined to geographical\nmobility and risk taking and would attach less importance to support needs.
