To be honest, I think IESE has one of the best but not the best MBAs in the world. We have some top-notch departments and a few characteristics that makes us unique in the world.
That said, I believe that the writer has the usual U.S. bias in his analysis, downplaying European schools a bit.
My two cents on this is that the top 3 things are:
- Salary 2-3 years after graduation (PPP-adjusted)
- Student diversity (US schools could do better here, IMHO)
- Faculty commitment (tough to measure but it makes a world of a difference to students)
Your hit the point, with ranking it is the same as with analyst reports - don't believe one - read more than 5 about a company and you get a more distinct view. Same with rankings for MBA schools.
ReplyDeleteAs an additional criteria I would add the point of elective courses, this can make a difference if you go for a particular job and you look for more insides.
