MBA RANKING 2017 FROM THE STAUFENBIEL INSTITUTE
The 2017 MBA ranking from the Staufenbiel Institute shows where the coveted Master of Business Administration can best be studied. We have compared different MBA rankings and show you which are the top business schools in Europe and the USA.
Rankings play an important role in deciding on a suitable business school and a suitable MBA program. The “Financial Times” (FT), the “Economist” or the “Business Week” offer important and renowned ranking lists in this area.
Different criteria
However, all of these rankings are based on different criteria – some assess the internationality of the business school, others the research opportunities. Some only include full-time programs, others also part-time MBAs. Depending on who was interviewed for the listing, lecturers and students or companies and teams of experts, subjectively perceived or objective influences determine the results of the rankings. It is therefore often not easy for applicants to compare the individual ranking lists and to determine the most reliable ranking for themselves.
The top MBA schools
Therefore we compared individual rankings of the three newspapers, such as the “FT Global MBA Ranking”, the “FT European Business School Ranking” or the “Businessweek Full-Time MBA Ranking”, and based on them created its own ranking, ie a “ranking of the rankings”, from which we determined the top MBA schools in the USA, Europe and Germany.
MBA RANKING FROM THE STAUFENBIEL INSTITUTE
The points were awarded in parallel to the ranking: If a business school was ranked first, it has one point in the ranking. If she is in 7th place, she gets seven points. The fewer points – the higher the place in the MBA ranking by the Staufenbiel Institute. In the event of a tie, the accreditation was also included in the ranking of the rankings. If a business school was in the top positions in several rankings of the three newspapers, it also comes first in our ranking. MBA applicants can then assume that it is a good school with a high level of quality. This makes it easier to find a suitable MBA program.
