Introduction by Nuffic Neso Mexico

Since 4 years, the top three business schools have been the same: IPADE, EGADE and ITAM. They are the best in the search for finding talent at job agencies of businesses and their own executives. They all have highly educated staff with international experience, international accreditations (two with ´triple crown´ accreditation) and an extensive international network (IPADE works closely with Harvard).

Expansión also published a ranking of the 60 best business schools in the world. Harvard is leading the ranking with Stanford University and the London Business School being second and third. There are no Dutch or Mexican universities in the ranking.
