The A List: World's Most
Respected Investment Books
Best Investment Books
IIM's Management Society recognizes and
honors the works of the world's best investment books authors.
A team of IIM researchers
conducted the study. Researchers' criteria for accepting nominations
included
the importance of work, media coverage, recognition within the
consulting, academia and international management communities.
According to Mr. Med Jones,
Editor-in-Chief, no "elite" list is all
inclusive, there
are many excellent books that do not have
equal media or research exposure. The nomination for A List is open worldwide.

Methodology & Ranking Criteria
The survey
methodology provides the ability to validate nominations and allows
insights into the nominees' critical success factors.
-
Public stakeholders can nominate their most
respected books and their authors
-
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, readers ratings and
industry 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 number of votes, the
listed reasons and the order in which they are listed.
-
When two or more book score
equally on overall ratings (reach a tie) IIM editors refer to the
number of votes.
In a nutshell, the public nominates, IIM editors validate the
nominations, and the number votes determines the respectability and ranking.
