First of all, I know that the WP Carey school has a ranking for Finance programs.
About general bus schools rankings: The problem is that an applicant might be toying with several similarly oriented programs, and for that, there is need for a "pooled" ranking for PhD programs in Business. It is not unusual to see people applying to Strategy at one place, Bus Econ at another, and Operations or Accounting at the third, especially when you are considering IO as your main specialty. Depending on the faculty's research strengths, somebody might want to do such an application, and end up needing a general ranking to help him/her organize priorities, alongside with individual faculty research interests.
Just my
