INTRODUCTION

spend two years in pursuit of a theoretical business qualification. Courses in these schools are notoriously tough
and include economics, banking, marketing, behavioral sciences, labor relations, decision-making, strategic
thinking, business law, and more. Given data set shows some of the characteristics of the leading Asia-Pacific
business schools.
