The report groups each institution into one of four quadrants, based on the strength of its full-time MBA programme in employability or research, these are:
- The Global Elite Quadrant
Schools which score above top-tier thresholds for research and employability - The Top-Tier Employability Quadrant
Schools with top-tier scores for employability, but ones that are not quite matched by their scores for research excellence - The Top-Tier Research Quadrant
Schools with top-tier scores for research excellence, but ones that are not quite matched by their scores for employability - The Superior Quadrant
Schools which have a solid reputation for both employability and research excellence, but which may not yet be top-tier
The results:
The report’s two independent areas of assessment, employability and research excellence, also inform two sets of MBA rankings for each region of the world. Below, we’ve summarised the top institution in each region for both of the assessment areas:
Employability:
- North America: Harvard Business School
- Europe: London Business School
- Asia-Pacific: INSEAD (Singapore)
- Latin America: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
- Middle East & Africa: Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town
Research excellence:
- North America: Harvard Business School
- Europe: London Business School
- Asia-Pacific: NUS Business School
- Latin America: EGADE Business School, Campus Monterrey
- Middle East & Africa: Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town
Interesting findings:
This year’s MBA rankings produce some interesting results for the sector. While 85% of the business schools in the Global Elite Quadrant are located in North America or Europe, five institutions are in Asia-Pacific and another two are in Latin America. This demonstrates that business schools with the highest international reputations can be found all over the globe.
