Abstract
AbstractThis study analyzed the impact of location, accreditation, and faculty size on the ranking of elite business schools. It used descriptive statistics and inferential analysis (analysis of covariance) to establish the effect of location on the business schools’ ranking while also controlling the influence (impact) of the covariates (accreditation and faculty size) on the outcomes. It found that location and accreditation type do not significantly affect the business schools’ ranking. The size of the faculty impacted the rankings of the programs. However, the pairwise comparison of the critical factors shows that faculty size and accreditation are more impactful in European business schools than in China, the United States/Canada, and other regions. Finally, smaller business schools (mainly in Europe) pursue Triple Crown accreditation to compete with more extensive, U.S.-based programs, favoring only the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation.Keywords: Accreditationbusiness schoolsfacultylocationrankings
摘要本研究分析了地理位置、认证和师资规模对精英商学院排名的影响。它使用描述性统计和推理分析(协方差分析)来确定地理位置对商学院排名的影响,同时还控制协变量(认证和教师规模)对结果的影响。调查发现,地点和认证类型对商学院的排名没有显著影响。师资队伍的规模影响了这些项目的排名。然而,对关键因素的两两比较显示,师资规模和认证在欧洲商学院的影响力大于中国、美国/加拿大和其他地区。最后,规模较小的商学院(主要在欧洲)追求三冠王认证,以与更广泛的美国项目竞争,只倾向于美国高等商学院协会(Association to Advance Collegiate schools of business)认证。关键词:认证;商学院;师资
