Business School Rankings and Business School Deans: A Study of Nonprofit Governance
研究1990-2002年间商学院院长更替与MBA项目排名的关系，发现院长离职与《商业周刊》排名下降及《美国新闻》学生就业评分恶化相关，但对整体排名变化不敏感。
We examine the relation between business school dean turnover and MBA program rankings from 1990–2002. We find little evidence that dean departures are related to changes in a school's overall rank in the US News & World Report rankings. However, dean turnover increases following drops in the Business Week rankings and deterioration in the student placement score as measured by US News & World Report. These results are significant in both a statistical and economic sense. Our findings suggest that schools react either directly to the rankings or to information that is reflected in the rankings.
