HKU Business School ranks Asia’s No. 1 for the second consecutive year and World’s No. 18 in UTD Research Rankings

(8 February, 2023, Hong Kong) HKU Business School is pleased to announce that it tops the rank of UTD Research Rankings in Asia successively in 2022, and ranks No. 18 in the world, subsequent to its remarkable achievement in 2021. The ranking is based on the number of academic articles published in 24 top business academic journals (UTD 24 journals) and the contribution of authors by each university in the year 2022.

The School of Management of the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), United States, has been compiling business school rankings since 2005 by tracking academic articles published. The UTD24 journals are highly recognised among academic institutions worldwide, covering major areas of business research, such as management science, accounting, finance, marketing, information systems, strategic management, organisational science and international business. It is an international research benchmark of business schools around the globe.

Professor Hongbin Cai, Dean of HKU Business School, said, ‘This ranking performance is a recognition of our persistence in striving for excellence in academic research. We outperformed ourselves by contributing an additional of 16 articles compared to the year 2021. With the recent establishment of HKU Business School’s unique global network that reaches to Israel, Vietnam, Shenzhen and Beijing, it will enable us to attract top scholars worldwide and strengthen our academic and research capabilities. I am confident that these exciting developments collectively will bring HKU Business School’s research capacity to a new level.’

HKU Business School is a leading, globally influential academic institution. It is deeply rooted in Hong Kong, fully engaged with China, and truly international. It is committed to providing world-class business and economics education that nurtures dynamic and responsible leaders, advancing the frontiers of knowledge through path-breaking research, and making real differences by partnering with communities.
