Giving Mbas A Global Spin

• Business Week measures satisfaction from recruiters
and students (it queried 16,843 and got a 60 percent response rate
for this poll), as well as what the magazine calls intellectual
capital - a school's influence and prominence in research. The 2000
results, announced in October, placed Wharton at the top.
• The Wall Street Journal queries recruiters on 27
attributes, ranging from the school's career services, to students'
leadership potential, to whether recruiters got their money's worth
from that school. The top program, announced in April 2001, was the
Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.
• The Financial Times, the only ranking to include
business schools across the globe, focuses on the career
progression of students, factoring in how global the programs were
and how much research each school did. Its top choice, announced
last winter, was Wharton.
• The Forbes list, which appeared in the magazine's
February 2000 issue and hasn't been repeated, measured salary
increases thanks to an MBA, and then compared that to the cost of
the MBA. This return-on-investment approach ranked Harvard
first.
• U.S. News & World Report combines surveys of
business schools deans and corporate recruiters; placement success
as measured by salary and employment rates; and strength of
students based on test scores, grade point averages, and percentage
of applicants accepted. That survey, released in April, anointed
Stanford as No. 1. -
A GLOBAL PRIMER
Here's a sampling of several business schools and their global
programs. They run the gamut from study and travel to joint degrees
with foreign schools. (One note: Business school rankings differ
from publication to publication, and not all the schools are ranked
by every group.)
