Table notesAlthough the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 200 points separate the top programme, University of St Gallen, from the school ranked number 70. The top 10 participants, from University of St Gallen to Esade Business School, form the top group of Masters in Management providers. The second group, headed by EMLyon Business School, spans schools ranked 11th to 31st. Differences between schools are small within this group. The 20 Schools within the third group headed by University of Strathclyde Business School are similarly close together. The remaining 18 schools make up the fourth group.
