How I Would Change MBA Rankings

Rankings are one of the more controversial things in higher education. Institutions generally pan the concept and the methodology (though they are quite willing to promote a good result in their marketing materials). Prospective students cite them as a significant factor in selecting a school to apply to and attend. The bigger the battle for talent, the more important rankings become, and the bigger the controversy about them.

Whatever you think of rankings, they are here to stay. They fill an information gap. And as a society we seem to be obsessed with such lists. That said, we can rethink how they should be structured so that they provide information in a more meaningful manner.
