The Guilford Glazer Faculty of Business and Management (GGFBM) of B​GU ranks at 200th place in the field of management in the world on the Shanghai Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2017, which was released last week.

Most notably the GGFBM reached 42nd place world-wide in the field of Hospitality and Tourism Management. It is the only Israeli hospitality and tourism department to make it into the ranking.

Guilford Glazer Faculty of Business and Management Dean, Prof. Oded Lowengart, incumbent of the Ernest Scheller Jr. Chair in Innovative Management
, “The faculty and the department of hotel and tourism management’s spot in the Shanghai ranking is testimony to the quality of our research. An analysis of how the ranking system operates shows that the department’s success lies in factors like the quality of the journals in which the Faculty’s studies are published and its international collaborations.

 

“To better understand the significance: the GGFBM is the youngest and smallest management faculty in Israel, so this standing is evidence of highly productive, high quality research and academic achievement,” adds Prof. Lowengart. “Not only that, but the field of management is highly competitive, as compared to other exclusive fields that may rank very high because they don’t exist at other universities.”
​  

The Department of Hotel and Tourism Management has been an integral part of the Guilford Glazer Faculty of Business and Management since the Faculty’s founding in 1994. The department offered a breakthrough concept at the time for centralizing the various aspects of study in the field. The department offers an undergraduate degree in Hotel and Tourism Management and a Masters in Tourism and Hotel Management.

 

Department chair Prof. Yaniv Poria, “The department’s alumni occupy management spots in the tourism, hotel, conferences and events industries as well as key roles in various initiatives in these fields.”
