impossible to rank without knowing your preferences...
if you are staying in Europe, Insead #1 for sure, overall its probably #1 as well. If you are a Spanish speaker looking for opportunities in Latin America, Iese or Esade could be the best choices. If you believe in the rebirth of London then Said or Judge certainly will put you in the drivers seat. If you are looking for english speaking opportunities in Asia then HKUST should probably be your #1 choice.

I agree it all depend on your preferences but:

1. INSEAD
2.ESADE, IESE
3.SAID, JUDGE
4. HKUST

Ask yourself your basics: what do you want after the MBA, where, are you keen about learging languages, 1 or 2 years program,..., then it would be easy to clarify the ranking suitable to your needs.

Hey guys, I hope I can get this discussion back running and hope to get some additional feedback :)

So here's my situation:
I am working in our family business and I'm planning to take over the management in a few years. Therefore I believe doing an MBA will be very useful in order to gain all the skills needed to grow our business etc. In addition I would like to have a degree allowing me to get into senior management positions (international general management) if I should decide to sell our company one day. I'd like to start as soon as possible and I'm looking at a 12 - 15 month programm and not a 2 year version. Plus I think I would like to spent my MBA time in a city rather than in a small town.

Given that background I applied to ESADE and got accepted, I like the program length (15 months including 3 months exchange), the fact that several languages are offered during the programm, the location and the relatively small class size.

Only problem is right now I'm thinking that if I accepted to life on campus schools like Oxford, Cambridge or INSEAD (especially INSEAD) would be an option again. Could someone please confirm me that chosing ESADE and not trying to get into INSEAD, IE, etc. (which would mean not accepting the offer from ESADE) would be a good choice? I am still trying to figure out if there really is a difference in reputation and personal development between INSEAD and ESADE.

-Cheers
