I've come across this ranking for MBA programs of the world performed by Financial Times.
The overall ranking seems to be logical.
However, in the categorized table of top ten in the world.

Melbourne Business school is ranked the fifth , surpassing The university of Oxford.
Does this idea seemed to be logical? I know that this table is performed by alumni voting , so there should be some bias?

i've searched the name of Economics lecturers in Melbourne Business school , and I want to know weather they are well known?
1.Vivek Chaudhri , BEC (Hon) ANU , PHD YALE
2.Mark Corsby, PHD Quees
3.Catherine de Fontenay**, Bec(Hon) McGill, Phd stanford.
4.Phillip William, Mec -Monash, Phd- London
5.Eric Jones, BA -Nottingham, MA Dpill Dlitt- OXON
6.Joshua Gans, BEcon Queensland, Phd stanford
Any comment????

Oxford's Said business school is only a few years old, or at least that is when there was a large cash injection from Nissan. It's pretty weak now, but it's moving up the rankings fairly steadily. Same for the Judge School at Cambridge - it's also still in its infancy.
Give them a few years, they'll be up there.
