Ranking of Business Schools by Efficacy

NBS — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:05:46 +0000

Available rankings fail to tell a given student with a given skill set which schools are most likely to increase his market value. That’s the goal of the rankings created by Mike Shor an economist at Vanderbilt University’s b-school, highlighting that a change in methodology significantly alters the results.

Mike Shor took the top 50 MBA programs in the latest ranking by U.S. News & World Report (2009) and attempted to calculate what portion of actual salaries is above and beyond what grads would have earned with a degree from an “average” MBA program, based on GMAT scores and college grades. His goal was to remove the selection bias inherent in some rankings—the tendency for really smart people, who would have been high paid regardless of where (or if) they got a degree, to attend the very best schools.

In the table below:

Adjusted salary (in thousands of dollars) reflects both the starting salary of those employed within three months of graduation, and a downward adjustment for those who are not. All students not employed within three months of graduation are (pessimistically) assumed to have a salary equal to 80% of the average salary of employed students at their institution. This biases results against schools with low placement rates. If S=average salary and e=percentage employed, then adjusted salary = Se+.8S(1-e)

Market value denotes the difference between a school’s adjusted salary and what that school’s students would expect to earn (given their qualifications at admission) at an average business school (for a loose definition of an “average” school in this context, see no. 29). A student with a high GMAT score and an exceptional undergraduate GPA is likely to receive higher offers than one with lower scores regardless of the MBA program he attends (not because of the undergrad GPA, but because of what it reveals about the person). Market value indicates how much a school improves on this given its actual student population.

Jack Welch Launches Online MBA

NBS — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:03:30 +0000

The legendary former GE CEO says he knows a thing or two about management, and for $20,000 you can, too

A corporate icon is diving into the MBA world, and he’s bringing his well-documented management and leadership principles with him. Jack Welch, former CEO at General Electric and BusinessWeek columnist, has announced plans to start an MBA program based on the business principles he made famous teaching managers and executives in GE’s Crotonville classroom.

The Jack Welch Management Institute will officially launch this week, with the first classes starting in the fall. The MBA will be offered almost entirely online. Compared to the $100,000-plus price tag for most brick-and-mortar MBA programs, the $600 per credit hour tuition means students can get an MBA for just over $20,000. “We think it will make the MBA more accessible to those who are hungry to play,” Welch says. “And they can keep their job while doing it.”

Characteristics of Top Business Schools

NBS — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:59:17 +0000

You’ve heard it time and time again — going to a top MBA program offers fundamentally different opportunities than getting just any MBA degree. But applying to multiple schools can be a daunting task, and everyone should have a backup plan in case they don’t get into their first choice. Here are some guidelines for analyzing the differences between the top programs, based on interviews with graduates of nearly 20 top US business schools.

School	Characteristics	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suggested Backups
Harvard	The top program for liberal arts and social science majors (with as much as 50% of the class coming from those disciplines) HBS emphasizes the art of leadership	* Harvard Brand. * Depth of Network. * Strong ties to finance, private equity and consulting. * Best for general management and communications.	* Lack of academic rigor, over reliance on case method. * Stereotype that students have poor analytical and quantitative skills.	* Tuck * Darden * Michigan
MIT Sloan	The top program for science and engineering majors (with as much as 40% of the class from those disciplines) Sloan emphasizes an analytical, fact-based approach to management.	* MIT Brand * Rigorous, flexible academics. * Strong ties to finance, high tech and consulting. * Best for entrepreneurship, high tech and finance.	* Smaller alumni network. * Stereotype that students are too intellectual and not aggressive.	* Chicago * NYU * Carnegie Mellon
Stanford	Stanford takes a balanced approach to management education, with no particular background emphasized over others, resulting in one of the more diverse classes among top business programs.	* Stanford brand name. * Balance of qualitative and quantitative emphasis. * Strong ties to Silicon Valley, venture capital and consulting. * Best for entrepreneurship and general management.	* Smaller alumni network, poor ties to east coast and international recruiting. * Stereotype that students are not team players.	* Berkeley * Duke * UCLA
Wharton	The top graduate business program for undergraduate business majors (with as much as 45% of the class from those disciplines), Wharton focuses on finance and investment education.	* Well-rounded academic program. * Strong ties to finance and consulting. * Best for finance and accounting.	* Weaker ties to west coast recruiting. * Stereotype that students are overly aggressive and too finance focused.	* Chicago * Columbia * NYU
Kellogg	With a balanced student body similar to Stanford, Kellogg has distinguished itself as the top MBA program for marketing and brand management.	* Highly motivated, involved student body. * Strong ties to brand management and consulting. * Best for marketing.	* Lack of analytical focus. * Stereotype that students are team players but not leaders, poor quantitative skills.	* Michigan * Duke * Tuck

Global Ranking of Political Science Departments

NBS — Sun, 24 May 2009 08:10:28 +0000

The main method for ranking departments in political science, through peer evaluations, is subjective, biased towards established institutions, and costly in terms of time and money. The alternative method, based on supposedly ‘objective’ measures of outputs in scientific journals, has thus far only been applied narrowly in political science, using publications in a small number of US-based journals.

An alternative ranking method is proposed by Simon Hix of London School of Economics. In the proposed method political science departments are ranked based on the quantity and impact of their publications in the 63 main political science journals in a given five-year period.

Here is the official announcement from HBS:

Date: May 18, 2009

“Beginning with the class of 2012, HBS will accept both GMAT and GRE results. We think that both tests will provide adequate metrics of what a standardized test can tell us about a candidate. It will take a while for us to do a complete update of every reference to these tests on our website — in the meantime, please accept this as official notification of this change.”

According to ETS more than 150 MBA programs now accept GRE. A complete list of schools allowing candidates to substitute GMAT scores with a GRE General Test scores for admissions is given here:
