I think the Indians were ahead in terms of debunking these MBA rankings. Some of the suggestions put forth by the paper are indeed stuff that has been discussed ad naseum elsewhere on this forum: Bloomberg - Are you a robot?…

PS: Somehow Im sure Ketan will respond 
Interesting....so the forum's been on the right track is it for three years now 😉
Do check out this write-up on Economist.... Offers an explanation and the impact of H/W not participating in the EIU rankings....Just wanted to draw a contrast with how the Indian mags have completely ignored the existence of schools that have not participated in rankings !!!
Cheers
It would be interesting to know the change in sales of copies of these mags (national as well as intl) during the months they publish these rankings.
After all, question is .. Is there sound financial reasoning behind churning out so much crap?
Anybody in the media/publishing may shed some light on financials plz..
