The “QS Global 200 Business Schools 2009” originated in the early 1990s, as an alternative to business school rankings and until this year has been known as the “Global Recruiters’ Top Business Schools Research”.

At the heart of the report is the definitive list of 200 business schools currently preferred by the most international employers for the purpose of hiring MBA graduates. This list is compiled from an annual survey of Human Resources (HR) managers and line managers with recruiting responsibilities at companies around the world. Each year employers recommend new schools to be added to this list, which employers around the world can then rate and comment upon.
