I am making a report on training requirements in developing ecenomies. For this I want to compare the average number of years spent by an executive to get promoted in a developed ecenomy as compared to that in a developing economy.

So many things apply here;

Does the company have a structured promotion program?

The type of company/market.

The individual themselves.

Etc.

However if I am pressed to come up with an average I would go as far as to say that all being equal and the person is productive and bright than I would say a year or so.
