Table notesFootnote: Although the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 280 points separate Kellogg/Hong Kong UST Business School at the top, from the school ranked number 95. The first eleven business schools, from Kellogg/ Hong Kong UST Business School to National University of Singapore School of Business, form the top group. The second group is headed by Washington University: Olin, which would need to increase its score by 5 points in order to move up a group. Top of the third group is Tongji University/ENPC which is seven points behind Cranfield School of Management. Only 25 points separate the top and bottom schools in this third group. The fourth group of EMBA degrees is more spread out, separated by 80 points.
