Table notes
Although the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 195 points separate the top programme, Stanford, from the school ranked number
100. The top 14 participants, down to HKUST Business School, form the top group of MBA providers. The second group, headed by Yale School of Management, spans schools ranked 15 to 44. Differences between schools are relatively
small within this group. The 48 Schools within the third group headed by Rice University: Jones are similarly close together. The remaining 9 schools headed by University of Texas at Dallas: Jindal make up the fourth group.
