ISince its inception, American business schools have been synonymous with the MBA and, as a consequence, obtaining an MBA in the US is highly desirable for many managers, from all over the world.

In all of the recently produced MBA rankings (F.T, Economist, Wall Street Journal, Business Week, etc) more schools from outside of the US are now making the top 100, it is, however, still the US MBA that is perceived by many to be the most valuable in terms of career development and salary.
