GSB receives top ranking from French survey
The Paris-based educational consulting company Eduniversal, part of the leading student orientation company in France, SMBG, has published a list of 1000 top business schools ranking them by their "capacity for international influence" and grouped into nine geographic regions.
Monash Graduate School of Business (GSB) was ranked third in Australia, behind Melbourne Business School and AGSM and one of only five in Australia to be awarded the top category of five palms – universal business schools – meaning within the top 100.
"Although this appears to be a new survey, it is gratifying to be so well regarded," Professor Owen Hughes, Acting Dean for the faculty said.
The rankings were determined by a poll of the deans of a selection of 1000 business schools drawn up by an International Scientific Committee of Eduniversal containing senior business academics from around the world, after studying 4000 websites and numerous publications.
The 1000 business schools selected are located in over 150 countries, covering 97% of the world's population. Eduniversal said they included universities and public and private schools but "most of all they were selected given their international and national influence and recognition."
Eduniversal said its survey allowed students to choose the best schools for their course in the region of their choice while benefiting HR departments generally as well as business schools themselves, faculty and the media. It provides three addresses:
eduniversal.com, for the official selection, eduniversal.net for the deans' recommendations
and eduniversal.biz for executives of the selected business schools to edit the published
information.
A report from the consultancy said: "Eduniversal gives business schools the opportunity
to gain visibility amongst their target audiences and to measure their performance,
evolution and durability both in their zone of influence and internationally."
