ah well.. Congrats..The highest consulting and ibanking salaries in the world in ISB. Some innovative number crunching there with a batch of 430 averaging $169K. In one year ISB rises from an average salary of 11Lpa to $169K. Fascinating !!!Will the real slim shady please stand up ?

There is no innovative number crunching here. You should read the ranking methodology and how these values are arrived at by FT before passing judgement.

Well, cynical enough to write a comment without attempting to understand and verify things

This question should be directed to FT and its auditors. I hope FT knows what it is doing.

First of all, FT's ranking surveys are amongst the top three global B-School surveys. Highly regarded by recruiters and students.

I guess the "cynicals" have a right to form their opinion. We can only point out the facts.

Fyi, salaries are only one of the parameters used in such surveys. As with any metric, they are normalised using purchasing power parity to make sure that "apples get compared with apples". The median ISB salary is not being misreported in the FT survey.

Prospective students please think through the issues before forming any opinion.

As for us ISBians, we are fortunate to be a part of this event. Nothing can convince us otherwise.

cheers,

financial metrics said...

Thanks for wonderful post.

I would like to say that every aspect of business is measured by financial metrics. These are necessary to measure if any investment is worth keeping or if any process change will significantly influence the company's finances negatively or positively. What is being measured here also is the financial value of any project that is undertaken, especially if the project will impact operations. The very goal of measuring finances is to cut on costs or improve how money is spent all throughout the organization.
