ESADE is one of the top ten Business Schools in the world and one of the top four in Europe for customised programmes for companies, according to the Business Week ranking posted today on the US magazine’s website. This list, published every two years, is one of the most selective as it only ranks the 20 best schools worldwide. As in the 2005 edition, the customised programmes ranking is led by Duke Corporate Education (USA), closely followed by IMD (Switzerland) and INSEAD (France).
Along with best customised programmes, Business Week also compiles two other rankings: one for the best open-enrolment executive education programmes, and another for the best Executive MBA programmes, aimed exclusively at executives with extensive professional experience and designed to be compatible with work commitments.
ESADE is one of the six Business Schools in Europe which appears on each list. It is ranked number five in Europe for open programmes, and number six for its Executive MBA programme.
Although these six Business Schools in Europe appear in the three rankings (open programmes, customised and Executive MBA), US Business Schools dominate the lists: just 30% of the Schools are European.
The Executive Education rankings, for both the open-enrolment and customised programmes, are strictly based on feedback from HR Directors of the companies which contract these programmes and how they evaluate the strategy, leadership, innovation and international scope of the training given by the schools. The Executive MBA ranking is compiled differently though: 65% of the final classification comes from the opinions of the executives taking part in the programmes, and 35% from the opinion that the EMBA leaders have about namesake programmes from other schools.
