Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business continues to have a meaningful impact on academia, society and industry through its commitment to excellence and innovation in business research.
The Financial Times Business Education Research Insights report recently ranked W. P. Carey No. 17 globally, ahead of Duke, the London Business School and INSEAD; No. 14 in the U.S. and No. 3 among U.S. public schools.
"This recognition reflects the quality and impact of our faculty's work and the school's commitment to producing research that drives meaningful change in best business practices across sectors," says Ohad Kadan, Charles J. Robel Dean and W. P. Carey Distinguished Chair in Business. "At W. P. Carey, we see research as a catalyst for innovation — in business, in society and in the communities we serve."
Pioneering research from W. P. Carey School experts influences public policy and shapes how business practices across industries worldwide. The business school houses more than 20 research centers and department-supported labs from nine academic departments, covering topics including entrepreneurship and business design, AI and data analytics, food and agribusiness, economics, governance, real estate and finance, and supply chain management.
The Financial Times rankings assess schools based on the quality of peer-reviewed research published within the past five years and referenced in leading journals, cited in think tank and government documents, and read by a broader audience outside academia.
"Our faculty's ranking among the world's top research institutions validates the rigorous scholarship and real-world impact they deliver every day. The Financial Times recognition reflects not just the quantity of research our team produces, but the quality and relevance of insights that address critical challenges facing business and society," says Gopalakrishnan Mohan, senior associate dean of faculty and director of the School of Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship. "This achievement motivates us to continue fostering an environment where faculty can push boundaries, collaborate across disciplines and translate academic excellence into solutions that matter."
In recent years, schools across ASU have released impactful research that has helped the university reach nearly $904 million in research expenditures. Last year, the National Science Foundation's Higher Education Research and Development survey ranked ASU No. 5 among institutions without a medical school, ahead of Princeton University, the California Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University.
"We believe knowledge creation should serve the public good," Kadan says. "From supply chain resilience to financial inclusion to ethical technology practices, we are dedicated to producing insights that inform and empower others to contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable world."
