Communiqué concernant le Wall Street Journal : Classement des MBA 2003
Si, en règle générale, l'INSEAD n'a pas pour habitude de commenter publiquement les classements, il est néanmoins des points qui méritent d'être clarifiés dans le récent classement MBA du Wall Street Journal (WSJ du 17.09.2003). L'an dernier, l'INSEAD arrivait en 37ème position dans le classement WSJ établi auprès d'environ 2000 recruteurs individuels. Cette année, notre institut ne figure pas dans le Top-50. Or, le classement du WSJ est en nette contradiction avec d'autres classements d'hebdomadaires respectés. Le Programme MBA de l'INSEAD est classé numéro 6 au niveau mondial et numéro 1 hors Etats-Unis par le Financial Times et le magazine Business Week le classe également numéro 1 des business schools non américaines.

INSEAD and the Wall Street Journal 2003 Recruiter Ranking
While it is not generally INSEAD's policy to comment publicly on rankings, there are issues with the recent WSJ Ranking which need clarification. Last year, INSEAD was ranked number 37 in the WSJ recruiter ranking. This year, we were not included in the top-50. The WSJ ranking strongly contradicts that of other respected rankings. The INSEAD MBA Programme is ranked 6th worldwide and number 1 in Europe/Asia by the Financial Times. Business Week also ranks our MBA number 1 outside of the US.
