Most people return to business school for an M.B.A. degree to increase their marketability in a highly competitive business environment. How well they achieve their goal depends in large measure on how the business world views the schools they attended. For the first time ever, The Wall Street Journal, the world's most respected business publication, along with Harris Interactive, the organization that created the well-known Harris poll, tells you what corporate recruiters from a wide variety of fields think about the M.B.A. programs they know so intimately. Nearly two years in the making, this is the only major survey that focuses exclusively on the opinions of recruiters -- the buyers of M.B.A. talent. Twenty-seven variables for each school were evaluated, variables that drive a recruiter to hire a particular graduate, such as their company's long-term success with a school's M.B.A. graduates and the students' communication and interpersonal skills, analytical and problem-solving abilities and leadership potential. This groundbreaking volume used the evaluations of more than sixteen hundred recruiters, appraising twenty-seven variables for more than two hundred schools in order to arrive at statistically valid ratings for fifty U.S. and international M.B.A. programs, as well as recruiters' observations on thirty-five more business schools and brief profiles on an additional seventy schools. In addition to the overall rankings, The Wall Street Journal Guide to Business Schools ranks the best public and private schools, the top schools by region, the top large and small schools, the top schools on top attributes, schools that are "hidden gems" and business schools by industry. Also evaluated are schools' academic excellence, the collegiality (and competitiveness) of each school and the most important school attributes. The corporate recruiters even list their personal favorites...and go on the record with extremely candid observations about both the business schools and their graduates. The first guide to business schools published exclusively as an e-book, The Wall Street Journal Guide to Business Schools will prove to be an invaluable resource for prospective students, school faculty and administrators -- and recruiters themselves.
Using a carefully constructed survey methodology and Harris Interactive's online polling techniques, "Top Business Schools 2004" reveals what corporate recruiters really think of the schools and their students.

Il 13 Marzo, i cardinali della Chiesa Cattolica, riunitisi per la prima volta in 600 anni per eleggere il successore di un Papa ancora vivente, hanno annunciato un incredibile cambiamento. Nel promuovere il Cardinale argentino Jorge Mario Bergoglio a diventare Papa Francesco, il 266° Pontefice, i cardinali hanno eletto per la prima volta un Papa venuto dal Nuovo Mondo in via di sviluppo per prendere il timone della chiesa in un momento cruciale. È stato un cambiamento sorprendente in 2000 anni di istituzione che ha avuto larga influenza – con 1.2 miliardi di fedeli in tutto il mondo – ed enormi problemi, tra cui uno scandalo di decennali abusi sessuali che ha distrutto la fede nell’istituzione, una mancanza di preti e tendenze secolari che hanno svuotato la chiesa di membri e messo alla prova la sua autorità in un mondo votato al cambiamento. Dalla sconvolgente decisione di dimettersi di Papa Benedetto XVI alla nomina di Papa Francesco, dalle strade secondarie di Buenos Aires alla prima fila in Piazza San Pietro, i giornalisti di The Wall Street Journal hanno raccontato queste drammatiche settimane nella vita dell’istituzione più antica al mondo. Ora, con un nuovo e-book, gli inviati del Giornale presenteranno una dettagliata biografia originale e tempestiva del nuovo Papa Francesco, così come una nuova visione sulla trattativa e sul dramma che ha accompagnato la sua ascesa. Papa Francesco rappresenterà a fondo l’intera storia del cambiamento di direzione della chiesa e l’uomo incaricato di guidarla e sarà da valutare come Papa Francesco potrebbe affrontare gli anni di scandalo e le carenze mentre guida i cattolici di tutto il mondo verso una fede più profonda. The Wall Street Journal è il quotidiano più importante d’America con una tiratura totale media di circa 2.3 milioni di abbonati e 36 milioni al mondo di lettori digitali ogni mese. Negli ultimi anni il Journal ha ampliato i suoi argomenti di base dando spazio alle arti, alla cultura, ai costumi, allo sport e alla salute, aggiungendoli al suo patrimonio di fonte principale di notizie finanziarie ed economiche. In quanto uno dei più grandi giornali mondiali che raggruppa l’attività di 2000 giornalisti in oltre 50 paesi, è arrivato ora ad otto edizioni in 11 lingue, coinvolgendo i lettori tramite i quotidiani, i siti web, le riviste, i social media e i video. Il Journal ha ottenuto 34 Premi Pulitzer per l’eccezionale attività giornalistica.
