Most best schools businesses were determined by a survey of 17.5 thousand MBA graduates in 2012 from more than 100 business schools.

The main rating criterion is the average return on investment in training over 5 years. Taking into account the leadership of the United States in the preparation of entrepreneurs, the best business schools in the United States are highlighted in a separate rating from the list of “best business schools in the world”.
