University of Florida Ranked Among Top-Ranked for Practical Business School Research

By Allison Alsup, University of Florida

Research authored by faculty of the University of Florida Warrington College of Business was named among the best in the world for its practical applications. Across the international business school community, the UF Warrington College of Business was ranked No. 16 by Financial Times on its list of business school research with rigor, resonance and relevance in today’s world.

In the United States, the UF Warrington College of Business was ranked No. 14 and No. 4 among U.S. public schools, just following the University of California – Berkeley, University of Texas – Austin and the University of Virginia.

“At the Warrington College of Business, our faculty are committed to producing research that doesn’t just live in academic journals, but creates real-world impact,” said Dean Saby Mitra. “This ranking demonstrates our dedication to generating insights that bridge academic rigor with practical solutions, helping businesses, policymakers and society to address complex challenges.”

Through their research, Warrington faculty have uncovered the deadly cost of workplace rudenesshow electronic health information exchanges help healthcare facilities be more efficient, and how Amazon discounts might not help consumers save money.

Warrington faculty have also pinpointed how to better use AI to hire the right candidate for a job, how extreme weather can cause billions in global economic losses, and how machine learning can predict opioid use disorder treatment interruptions.

In its ranking, Financial Times sought to understand how scholars’ research was valued and utilized by those in academia and beyond university campuses, like policymakers and decision-makers in the public, private and non-profit business worlds.

To track academic rigor among peer faculty, Financial Times looked to research published in FT50 journals, which is a list of the 50 top business journals created in consultation with business schools, and its citations in other academic journals as well as research productivity per capita.

To explore how research resonates beyond academia, Financial Times looked to the number of downloads and citations in policy documents by non-academics in government and practitioners in business.

Financial Times assessed the influence of research on learning though usage of popular case studies as well as business school authors’ textbooks and articles on reading lists in universities around the world.
