Which MBA?

(References from the http://www.economist.com/whichmba)

This is the ninth year that The Economist has published a ranking of full-time MBA programmes. Our latest ranking is probably the most turbulent in that short history. Usually, schools move up or down just a few places year on year. This time around, however, swings have been wilder.

The main reason for this is the difficult job market. A school’s ability to open new career opportunities for its graduates and the salaries those graduates can expect to be paid have a combined weight of 55% in our ranking.

The world in figures: Pakistan

GDP growth: 3.2%
GDP: $188bn (PPP: $487bn)
Inflation: 9.9%
Population: 189.6m
GDP per head: $992 (PPP: $2,570)

President Asif Ali Zardari is in danger of being washed away by discontent over his response to Pakistan’s worst-ever floods. Already weakened by reforms that draw power from the presidency, his decision to fly abroad rather than lead operations to relieve flood damage has left him deeply unpopular. The army’s energetic response to the crisis, in contrast, has enhanced its national standing—and may encourage it to have another crack at running the government. Flood damage to farmland will drive up food prices. Economic growth will fall to 3.2% from 4.4% in 2010.
