| Abstract
|
:
|
"Focusing on the European experience with rankings and the subsequent response, the book illustrates how business schools use rankings to form identities and positions, and to draw boundaries for the field. By both creating and confirming 'belonging' to a business school community and providing distinction within that group, rankings are important for defining an International field of management education organizations, constructing an international business school market, and constitute an arena for debating and establishing the boundaries of this field.

Building an extensive theoretical framework for understanding classification mechanisms and field construction, the study draws on theories of cultural and institutional fields, field boundaries and identifies as well as on theories of classifications, transnational regulations and audit procedures."--Jacket.
