Industrial commodity prices to rise by 12% in 2006
The Economist Intelligence Unit's Industrial Raw Materials price index is set to rise by a further 12% in 2006 and reflects prospects of continued shortage in most commodities.
The stellar performance of the school's careers office is one of the main reasons for IESE's triumph: it has a 100% success rate at placing students in jobs within three months of graduation, while students usually command six-figure salaries.
Despite Europe topping the league table, American institutions dominate the top rankings with schools such as Dartmouth, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern and Harvard all doing well.
Apart from IESE, Switzerland's IMD is the only other non-American school in the top ten.
Bill Ridgers, the editor of Which MBA?, commented: "Even though a European school occupies top spot only a handful of schools can really compete with the best in the US.
American schools have the advantage when it comes to history, and, in particular, finance, allowing them to attract the best faculty and students." The highest ranked school in Asia and Australasia (excluding INSEAD, which has campuses in both France and Singapore) is the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, in 37th place.
