Table notes Although the headline ranking figures show annual changes in the data, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 230 points separate the top programme, Kellogg/HKUST Business School, from the school ranked 100th. The top participants from Kellogg/HKUST to MIT's Sloan form the top group. The second group spans from ESCP Europe at 11 down to the programme by WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business)/University of Minnesota's Carlson at 45. The third group is headed by University of Maryland's Smith down to Rutgers Business School at 89. Finally, the bottom 11 schools headed by Tias Business School make up the fourth group.
