The rankings show how institutions have performed and progressed in the past year, influencing institutional strategy including talent acquisition. The rankings include the Global MBA Rankings, published today, and the Online MBA and Executive MBA rankings which will follow in March and October, respectively.

The Web of Science ^TM provides highly curated, trusted and enriched data to inform the FT research rank.

"The FT has long considered the quality of business school academic work to be an essential part of its ranking to help assess research as a tool for students, faculty, recruiters and other organizations seeking rigorous and innovative insights. We are currently exploring ways to use research data to inform broader insights."

Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President, Research and Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate said: "To deliver the most valuable insights for decision-makers, ranking systems need to draw on the most trusted and accurate information in their analysis. The FT has used Web of Science journal data since 2019 to help calculate the research rank in its business school rankings. This demonstrates the powerful advantage of our highly selective, curated and enriched data."
