For the first time in almost a decade, Spanish schools are absent from the top positions in the global MBA ranking published annually by the Financial Times. IESE descends from the 7th to the 16th position and ESADE from the 19th to the 23rd. It only maintains the IE Business School type that retains the 12th position it achieved last year. The'anking 'puts an end to a golden age for Spanish business schools that began in 2009, when IE Business School first reached the top ten of the prestigious MBA' Financial Times' '. Since then, the Madrid and Navarre schools, IESE, have exchanged leadership, but always one or both - as in 2011 or 2012 - have been among the 10 best schools in the world, competing face to face with the Large US, British and French centers. Until now.

The ranking, in which 157 schools participated this year - those that meet the strict criteria to participate in it - analyzes 21 indicators, both institutional and referred to the graduates of each school. Among them, the degree of internationalization of the center and the projection of its programs, the fulfillment of expectations, the remuneration of the graduates three years after leaving school and being integrated in the labor market, the percentage of teachers and international students, the percentage Of women and doctors in the cloister and classrooms or the level of research.
The Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires (better known as Insead) is the first European school to reach the top of the ranking. As the chief editor of 'Ft Business Education', Della Bradshaw, in the special issue of the magazine in which the list has been published, 58 years ago Insead settled in Fontainebleu, outside Paris, to train The European business elite, but today it is the best example of what an international school should be: more than 90% of the students and faculty of its French and Singapore campuses are foreign, with the highest ratio of all schools of The top of the table.
Insead has also succeeded in overcoming American schools that began by imitating a particular program, the one-year MBA, which is increasingly popular around the world. In addition, although its course lasts half of the usual (for which it is more intensive), its annual rates are smaller than those of the three major American schools (Harvard, Wharton and Standford). As Glenn Hubbard, dean of the Columbia Business School (the sixth in the ranking), FT explains, many second- and third-tier schools charge comparable fees to leading schools, something they consider untenable: "I simply do not think Two-year MBA is a product for these schools. "
Let's hope to see what we have in 2017 compared to MBA schools
