How important is a degree from a aacsb school for a business position?

Question

Are employers and recruiters looking for business position candidates with degrees from AACSB accredited schools or are these sort of business school accreditations not very important?
I know that alot of great b-schools like Tanaka Business School of Imperial College London arn't AACSB accredited.

Answer 1

In the US, AACSB accreditation is extremely important. Many MBA employers won't hire you if your school was not AACSB accredited.

But many fine schools outside the US are not AACSB accredited. So long as those schools are appropriately accredited within their home countries, and are well ranked, internationally, and respected, then that's fine. Tanaka is top 5-10 in the UK, and top 50ish in the world, so it's definately well respected.

Here is another point of view:

"...The fact is that the AACSB degree
graduate does not hold a more valuable degree than an IACBE, or ACBSP, EQUIS, or other degree graduate in American society or elsewhere, it is just a perception based on good marketing and the prejudices of member institutions of the AACSB as a response to competition. What matters most, and should always matters the most, is the individual holding the degree as individuals’ abilities and learning differ; their levels of knowledge and understanding, their abilities to apply the knowledge, and how creatively and innovatively they can think and develop new ideas and adapt to changes in the current and emerging business environments...."

Answer 3

as long as this is a basic college that folk have heard of. Employers do no longer shop song of which colleges are authorised and which of them are not. They care provided that that is mail-order or per "existence adventure".
