OK, so I checked out BusinessWeek's slides on the top non-US business schools, knowing very well that Queen's School of Business had grabbed the first place for the third time in a row (2004, 2006 and 2008). My surprise was to see the banner on the top of the page:

Mannheim is investing quite a lot in marketing. We have seen them on Facebook, I have seen them on the schedule leaflets on the ICE trains to Mannheim and now, BW.
I guess that all is good, after all, the better the Mannheim name is known in the business world, more valuable my Mannheim MBA degree gets.

From Mannheim Business School News:

The Handelsblatt magazine “Junge Karriere” attested the Business School of the University of Mannheim a “remarkable distance” to the university in second place. In the estimation of 57.8% of the German HR managers, the best business students are educated in Mannheim. The authors describe the school and the whole university as a “trendsetter in internationality”. They mention the international semester times and the increasing number of exchange programs. “Of course, such distinguished conditions do not remain hidden from HR managers in business.” As a further plus point, the magazine points to the practical orientation of the business courses at Mannheim.

The Handelsblatt ranking is already the second piece of proof in 2008 of the exceptional status enjoyed by the University of Mannheim in the field of Business Administration. A few weeks ago, it had already received the best rating in the ranking of the prestigious German CHE (Centre for Higher Education Development) and was the only institution in the German speaking countries to receive top places in all five categories.

Warwick Business School has achieved its highest ranking yet in the prestigious Financial Times Global MBA rankings, published today. It is now ranked 29th in the world, a climb of seven places in one year.

Read the rest of the press release or take a look at the Financial Times MBA ranking site.

WBS also climbed two spots in the European comparison, being the 12th business school in that category.

That is indeed a great result, and I am happy for the school, the teachers, the staff and we, students. That's a great way to go!

Now it is back to the investments class after a non satisfying quizz performance.

Well, Indian Blogger, from Queen's MBA published again a really interesting link and earned his space in the MBA blog links section of this site at the right.
