The Financial Times ranks the UC Davis Graduate School of Management first in the world in “Organizational Behavior.” The London-based business paper ranks UC Davis’s MBA program at 76 in the world, 47th in the United States, according to rankings published on their website. The organizational behavior ranking can be found on a separate page of rankings in selected areas.

“I’m absolutely delighted that our organizational behavior faculty members have received this international recognition. They are world-class researchers and they know how to communicate their research in ways that are valuable to our MBA students — and this #1 ranking reflects that classroom experience,” said Nicole Woolsey Biggart, the School’s dean, in an email to faculty and staff.

Some examples of that work are Andrew Hargadon’s work on technology management and innovation; Kim Elsbach’s work on creativity; and studies on open source software by Anand Swaminathan, Greta Hsu and colleagues in computer science and engineering.
