The Bird's Nest Effect Makes it Hard to Choose a Business School

Choosing a business school should be easy with more than 10,000 institutions worldwide, but new research from CarringtonCrisp suggests that students find few characteristics that clearly differentiate one school from another.  Andrew Crisp, author of The Business of Branding report, supported by the Association of Business Schools (ABS) and EFMD, comments ‘When you plot the characteristics of schools, they tend to be muddled together like the interwoven twigs of a bird’s nest – there’s little that stands out”.

Paul Marshall, Chief Executive of ABS says:

"1 in 3 International students in the UK are studying business studies or related qualifications.  Any disruption in this market will thus impact hugely and disproportionately upon Business and Management education.

Professor Laing said:

“As the leading representative body for business schools in the UK, we are delighted to have been able to recruit a new chief executive of this calibre to replace Jonathan Slack. He will build on the foundations established by Jonathan, since the formation of the ABS in 1992.

Paul brings the set of skills, experiences and networks which will enable the ABS to deliver on its objectives of ensuring that the voice of the business school community is clearly heard within policy, business and university communities.
