Relationship between dean turnover and MBA rankings?

Check out THIS ARTICLE from Financial Management, as linked from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) website on b-school rankings.

Article abstract: We examine the relation between business school dean turnover and MBA program rankings from 1990-2002. We find little evidence that dean departures are related to changes in a school’s overall rank in the US News & World Report rankings. However, dean turnover increases following drops in the Business Week rankings and deterioration in the student placement score as measured by US News & World Report. These results are significant in both a statistical and economic sense. Our findings suggest that schools react either directly to the rankings or to information that is reflected in the rankings.
