Table notes
Although the headline ranking figures show the changes in the survey year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools
is also significant. Some 205 points separate the top school from the school ranked 100 in the 2007 ranking. The top 16 schools,
from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to Iese Business School, form the leading group of world class
business schools. The second group is headed by the Anderson School at UCLA. Some 40 points separate the Anderson School
from the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, which leads the next group. The fourth group is headed by
Edinburgh University Management School and includes schools ranked from 54 to 100. Some 51 points separate these 47
schools. However, there are very few points separating schools within this group.
