“…Furthermore, due to a high level of acceptance by its main stakeholders, the image of a program or an institution may be enhanced through accreditation. In addition, accreditations increase the transparency of a program or institution (Lange 1999;Sursock 2001;Jeliazkova and Westerheijden 2002;Bauer et al 2003) and strengthen its international visibility. This helps programs and institutions to stay competitive (McKee et al 2005), an argument that is also brought forward in reference to certification (Teerlak and King 2006).…”

“…First of all, accreditations are labels of quality (Baker 2002;Bauer et al 2003): They signal to their main stakeholders that a high level of (educational) quality is met or exceeded (Urgel 2007), for example by associating accreditation with outstanding students and a highly qualified faculty (Trapnell 2007).

Accreditation of MBA programs has become a subject of increasing importance to European business schools. The pros and cons of this quality improvement instrument have been well elaborated from a business school's point of view. However, how students perceive accreditations has not been subject of research yet. In order to contribute to close this research gap and to gain some insight into the customers' perception of accreditations, the authors have conducted an empirical survey amongst students and alumni of Executive MBA (EMBA) programs. Results of a multinomial logistic regression show that accreditation is by far not the most relevant criterion for the choice of an Executive program at this point in time. According to that and the low knowledge on accreditation among students and alumni one may raise the question why business schools invest so much time and effort in accreditation. Based on these results, the article implies possible shifts in the relationship between business schools and accrediting institutions.
