In our increasingly globalized world measuring and benchmarking have become an indispensable part of our lives. Recent years have seen a surge of interest in rankings – of all kinds, from the best places to work to the most competitive countries and the best tourist destinations. Although rankings can be considered simplistic tools, they can also offer useful comparative data that is difficult to obtain by other means.
With so many published rankings available sometimes it can be difficult to identify the most trusted ones. To help out, the IESE Library has compiled a list of some of the best rankings out there covering myriad areas and issues. But if you still cannot find any that suit your needs we encourage you to create your own list using the tools available at the IESE Library.
