Рейтинги школ бизнеса вызывают не мало споров. Но даже при относительно недорогих программах MBA, не превышающих 100 000 долларов, совокупные затраты на обучение и проживание достаточно высоки. По этой причине студенты продолжают требовать независимую оценку бизнес-школ.

В этом году журнал The Economist провел восьмое ежегодное исследование, результатом которого стал рейтинг программ full-time MBA. В прошлом несколько школ, включая Northwestern (Kellogg), Chicago (Booth) и швейцарская IMD, сохраняли в нем лидерские позиции. В этом году первое место заняла испанская бизнес-школа IESE. Она так же лидировала в 2005 и в 2006 годах.
