(PRWEB) September 29, 2005

The WSJ emphasised the ability of ESADE graduates for coming up with creative and innovative (out-of-the-box) solutions to business problems, in addition to their ethical values.

This ranking, which has analysed 265 business schools from all around the world, is based on the opinion of recruiters, or rather, those companies or employers which ultimately take on MBA graduates. Based on the responses of the 3,267 recruiters surveyed this year, the newspaper has drawn up a list of the top 20 international business schools, headed by the Swiss school IMD, ESADE and the North American Carnegie Mellon University.

Each of the editions of this ranking have emphasised the ESADE MBA Programme http://exed.esade.edu/emba as one of the best in the world. In addition, this year ESADE http://exed.esade.edu has become the highest rated Spanish business school ever to appear in this international ranking, which includes European and American schools.

The survey presented by WSJ takes up to 20 different variables into consideration. It is the only ranking whose methodology analyses other aspects of graduates in addition to technical and analytical aptitudes, including for instance their communication skills, their ability for teamwork, their leadership capacity, their personal integrity and their ethical commitment.

ESADE is one of the most prestigious university-level academic institutions in Europe and indeed in the world. It is renowned for its quality training, international outlook and its distinct orientation toward the comprehensive development of professional and human competencies.

Currently, the immense majority of the more than 24,000 ESADE alumni holding positions of responsibility at diverse companies and organizations are the agents for the dissemination of these values.
