Some of the Best Business Schools in the World

The ranking of business schools are normally based on the quality of their faculty members, campus, syllabus, and the likes, however there is no definite list of the top schools in the world. It’s not easy to single out the top 2 or 3 from a number of exceptional institutes, from all around the world. Still, there are some institutes that will make it to the top of any list that ranks these type of schools, based on any criteria. However this list is not an exhaustive one and there are a number of equally good business institutes, other than those included in this list.
