Harvard tops the list of the world’s most influential business schools based on teaching power — a new measure of how much their academics’ work is used on other business courses.
Other institutions with a faculty whose books on business, accounting, marketing and economics are widely recommended by their peers include Warwick and Portsmouth in the UK, the Sloan school of management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kellogg at Northwestern in Chicago.
