Hi, Thanks for your feedbacks. I modified the methodology with those features: - Took into account the FT scores and not rank to calculate schools level in research, PhD program and faculty (i.e Top ranked schools are advantage as the variance increases with the rank) - I added a reputation score to compute the final score - I weigthed the different measures as follow: School Reputation score* 20% Faculty with doctorate score 10% Doctoral Program score 30% Research score 40% Here is the new ranking, Stanford and Harvard rank well before UBC and Rotman but Yale score in Research and Doctoral program is too poor and still lag behind. Does it seems more relevant to you? (PS: not sure I can put the link, if not please suppress it)

By the way what do you mean by: Also, Rotman and UBC before Yale, Stanford and Harvard is, well. You get the point. You think Yale should be before Rotman and UBC? (remember that the ranking take into account all specialisations in management)

Hi, not really spaming, just don't really know how forums works. Thanks for your feedback. In fact we recently created the association of Business PhD candidates in Paris (with HEC, ESSEC, INSEAD, ESCP and Polytechnique). We are trying to create a kind of ranking as I realized no such thing really existed and though it could be usefull to future candidates. The methodology I took is extremely simple. I took data from the FT ranking of Global MBA related and did an average of: - Schools rank in research (number of publication from faculty in the FT 40 journals weigted by the faculty size) - Schools rank in Phd programs (calculated on the number of PhD gratuates a year + additional points when they got a job into to 50 full time MBA schools) - Schools rank in PhD Faculty (calculated on the % of faculty with a PhD) This methodology is quite basic but still seems realistic. I would be interested in any feedback (this is in fact why I posted the first link)? Regarding the ranking we obtain does it seem relevant to you? Thanks in advance

Hi, we developped with several PhD candidates a ranking of PhD programs in Business: PhD in Business ranking | Business Phd in Paris This ranking is still far to be perfect but provides a good overview of doctoral programs average level.

Hi, we developped with a bunch of other PhD candidates a ranking for PhD programs in business schools: PhD in Business ranking | Business Phd in Paris The ranking is still not perfect (based on FT data) but provides a good overview on doctoral programs level. Admin edit: Links removed.
