GANTMAN, Ernesto R.. Latin American business schools: An empirical analysis. Contad. Adm [online]. 2013, vol.58, n.3, pp.279-298. ISSN 0186-1042.

Drawing on recent available data of a sample of Latin American business schools, this paper aims at identifying the organizational determinants of the students' success in their post-MBA professional work. These relationships are tested through multiple regressions using panel data with random effects. The main finding is that the level of scholarly knowledge production, operationalized as number of articles published in journals indexed in the Social Science Citation Index, is in a positive and statistically significant way associated with the alumni's success. The quality of the faculty has also a positive and significant effect upon the dependent variable, although this result is not robust as per different model specifications.

Keywords : business schools; higher education; management knowledge; Latin America.
