Second 2011 edition of the Ranking of Business Schools

     The aim of this Ranking is to promote the Web presence of Business Schools & MBA granting institutions worldwide. From July 2008, the Ranking Web is published two times (at the end of January & July) per year.

     If you are searching for business or executive education, our ranking offers the largest coverage, with about 1,500 institutions all over the World listed in the Directory.

     Web presence measures the activity and visibility of the institutions and it is a good indicator of impact and prestige. Rank summarizes the global performance of the Schools, provides information for candidate students and scholars, and reflects the commitment to the dissemination of knowledge.

Important statement

     In the 21st century no MBA granting institution, independently of its tradition, prestige or resources, could ignore the Web. If its web performance is below the expectations, the academic authorities should reconsider their web policy and the candidate students reconsider the supposed excellence of the school.

Further info

     For being included in our ranking it is mandatory that the Business School have at least a web subdomain, for example wharton.upenn.edu.

     The Directory of Business Schools has been revised and updated, but there are still many institutions not covered in our list. Please help us providing the URLs (only independent domains or subdomains) of recently changed or new business schools.

     As in previous edition the composite index (World Ranking) is computed combining normalized values instead of ranks. Also we have decreased the weights of documents (5%) and papers (5%) in the formula because for Business Schools the repositories are far less relevant.

Autonomy

     The Ranking is produced the the Cybermetrics Lab (CCHS - CSIC), a public research body, which is independent of any school, company or newspaper.
