Management Gurus - The
Management A-List
World's Most
Respected Management Professors

IIM's Management Society recognizes and
honors the works of the world's top management thinkers.
A team of IIM 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 Yones, Editor-in-Chief, no "elite" list is all-inclusive, there
are many successful management professors who do not have
equal media 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 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) 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.
