Business School Rankings: Methodology

Top business school EMBA / MBA rankings vary according to the media source and the research used to compile the statistics. Their purpose is to inform your thinking so that you can make intelligent decisions. Choosing the right school is not a straight forward process. All the top schools market their programmes well. However, you must look beyond the glossy brochures and MBA champagne cocktail presentations.

The first thing that must be noted is that all Rankings in the media are subjective. All rankings are weighted to different criteria and are carried out by different methods.

The following criteria are used in weighting the Whitefield Consulting Worldwide.

The rankings are carried out by the WCW Alumni network, and therefore constitute their opinion, according to the criterion below:

Salary today:
An average of salaries three years after graduation

Weighted salary:
The ‘average’ salary today with adjustments for salary variation between industry sectors

Salary percentage increase:
The percentage increase in salary from the beginning of the MBA to three years after graduation

Value for money:
The value for money criteria is a short term indicator calculated using the salary earned by alumni three years after graduation and course costs

Career progress:
The degree to which the alumni have moved up their career ladder after graduating. Progression is measured through changes in level of seniority and the size of the company in which they are employed.

Aims achieved:
The extent to which alumni have fulfilled their goals or reason for doing an EMBA / MBA.

Placement success:
Percentage of alumni that gained employment through the placement service of the academic institution.

Alumni recommendation:
Alumni who were asked to name three business schools from which they would recruit EMBA / MBA graduates. Their own school could not be in the list to prevent bias.

International mobility:
A rating system that measures the degree of international mobility based on employment movements of alumni since graduation.

International students:
Percentage of international students

Faculty: Quality of faculty, reputation and research capabilities

WCW Researchers are assigned to different geographic zones compile statistics by teams. A specialized team works in conjunction with the WCW Alumni Network Worldwide. A detailed questionnaire is sent to each participant and forwarded to the committee where the final assessments are made.
