    Dear Academy colleague,

    Rankings of Business Schools and their graduate programs became pervasive and has influence for shaping not only MBA students' decisions but also the actions of faculty, deans and employers. Yet, there is no public discourse in Academia about these various rankings and the evaluation processes they use. If you are interested to understand the impact of Business School Rankings on our lives as faculty, on our students and on society at large, please come join us to the first ever AoM symposium that addresses these crucial issues.


    Our Showcase Symposium, which received the MED Division Best Symposium Award includes a panel of leading scholars, deans, employers, journal editors, alumni, and business education media representatives who will give a broad perspective on business school rankings before opening up the discussion to the audience.
