Beyond Gray Pinstripes Ranks MBA Programs

The Aspen Institute and World Resources Institute last week released "Beyond Grey Pinstripes," their biannual ranking of MBA programs on criteria related to teaching environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and business ethics. The top 10:

1. Stanford, USA
2. ESADE, Spain
3. York (Schulich), Canada
4. ITESM, Mexico
5. Notre Dame (Mendoza), USA
6. George Washington, USA
7. Michigan (Ross), USA
8. North Carolina (Kenan-Flagler), USA
9. Cornell (Johnson), USA
10. Wake Forest (Babcock), USA 

However, more than the rankings, I encourage those of you interested in social responsibility, sustainable development to really use the data collected by Beyond Grey Pinstripesas a great launching pad for your research.

These rankings, like all others, are a collection of data and information. That is their true value. It's your job to use the data more than the rankings, which reflect someone else's view of what's important in a business school. Use the data to find out which school gives you what is most important to you.
