hi majid, I don't know much about MBA admission. But in case of PhD in business and management, you would be better of having had a strong background in econ + math with high grades in these subjects. I feel that the info you gave is not enough for me to make a suggestion on the kind of schools you should shoot for. But if you want to see the range of schools purely based on your GPA against the average GPA of admitted PhD students, then you should see the individual websites of the schools and look for the admission stats there, or look up some book on Bschool admission stats.
Beware that PhD stats are not easily available, but they are normally higher than MBA stats and very competitive. For eg, admitted students at toptier B-schools routinely have average undergrad GPA somewhat higher than 3.5 and graduate GPA even higher! And I can only believe that their econ and math average GPA's are significantly higher than that. BUT then again these are simple stats, and there may be a wide spectrum of admitted students there, and it depends on the specialisation and your research experience + referece letters and of course GMAT score.
Good luck!
