World's Most Respected Management Professors

Most Respected Professors

The Management Society recognizes and honors the works of the world's top management thinkers. A team of the Institute's researchers conducted the study. Researchers' criteria for accepting nominations included the importance of works/publishing, media coverage, recognition within the consulting, academic and international management communities. The list is provided in alphabetical order.

  • Most quoted criteria by students are the professor's subject matter knowledge, delivery effectiveness/communication and motivation
  • Most quoted criteria by peers are research and publications
  • Most quoted criteria by consulting clients are expert knowledge and insights

We found it difficult to weigh the ranking on any single criterion, however, what we can say for sure is that these professors are most admired and respect by their students, peers and clients.

According to Mr. Med Jones, Editor-in-Chief, no "elite" list is all-inclusive. There are many successful management consulting firms that do not have equal media or research exposure. The nomination for A List is open worldwide. To participate in the survey, please visit Polls

Methodology and Ranking Criteria

The survey methodology provides the ability to validate nominations and allows insights into the nominees' critical success factors.
  • Public stakeholders can nominate the most respected companies and their leaders.
  • Voters are then asked to give the reasons for their nominations, thus providing valuable insight into what key factors drive the success of these nominees. Questions are presented in free-form and open-ended formats.
  • Further research is conducted to validate the entries using sales figures, business/investment analysts ratings, competitive benchmarking and market impact as expressed in the global media.
  • After verification and acceptance of the nomination, the input is then statistically analyzed taking into consideration the geographic region, the relationship with the company, the number of votes, the listed reasons and the order in which they are listed.
  • When two or more companies score equally on overall ratings (reach a tie), the Institute editors refer to the number of votes.

In a nutshell, the public nominates, the researchers validate the nominations, and the number votes determines the respectability and ranking.
