Table notesAlthough the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of clustering among the schools is equally significant. Some 190 points separate the top programme, Universität St. Gallen, from the school ranked number 65. The top 10 participants, from Universität St. Gallen to Rotterdam School of Management, form the top group of Masters in Management providers. The second group, headed by Mannheim Business Schools, spans schools ranked to 31st, a range of some 43 points in total. Differences between schools are small within this group. The 15 Schools within the third group are similarly close together. Skema Business School, which heads this group, is some 28 points above Shanghai Jiao Tong, the last school in the third group. The remaining 19 schools make up the fourth group.
