A new ranking of global business schools measured by scholarly impact in the realm of international business has put Simon Fraser University’s Faculty of Business Administration among the best in the world.
Published in the journal International Business Review, the survey ranks universities in terms of international business research output in elite business journals over the past decade. SFU Business ranked among the top 40 business schools globally, and was one of only two Canadian schools (along with the University of Western Ontario’s Ivey School) to appear in the survey.
“This is a significant accomplishment for SFU Business, and speaks to the commitment we have made as an institution to be global thought leaders in international business and to be active participants in the global exchange of ideas that connects our community to the world,” said Daniel Shapiro, Dean of SFU Business.
According to the ranking’s authors, their analysis of international business research demonstrates that international business research “consistently emanates from many of the traditionally highest ranking universities throughout the world.”
“As business continues to internationalize, the need for researchers and academic institutions to produce significant and impactful international research also increases,” they said.
The survey is entitled “A perspective on the state of the field: International business publications in the elite journals as a measure of institutional and faculty productivity.” It is authored by J. Trevin, Franklin G. Mixon, Charles A. Funk, and Andrew C. Inkpen.
