(Source: University of Pennsylvania)This year's edition of Which M.B.A.?, a guide to top business schools published by the British magazine The Economist, doesn't include Harvard or Penn's Wharton School on its list.



Say what?

Evidently, these two leading programs decided not to cooperate with editors seeking data, so the publication finally opted to drop them altogether. The book surveys students about their experiences, and both Harvard and Wharton stopped providing email addresses as contact information a few years ago. Still, the publication ranked both schools last year. For this year's edition, however, Harvard and Wharton withheld even more information, forcing the book to eliminate them altogether.

Will Harvard and Wharton suffer from the lack of attention, or will Which M.B.A.? suffer from excluding two of the world's best schools? That's a rhetorical question, of course.
