While AACSB may not quite be the standard it once was, it remains the oldest and most widely recognized accrediting body and employers are likely to consider that.
Which begs the question, What other accreditation would you recommend for B school? Is there something better?
No question that it is oldest and most widely recognized accreditation. I'm not sure how much employers care about it, though. In my discipline, employers hire from the local AACSB accredited schools and also from the non-accredited schools.

I am unaware of any other major accrediting body for B-schools. Like any other signaling model, accreditation must have a credible way to distinguish the high-quality from the low-quality in a manner that the low-quality cannot mimic. How distinguishing is AACSB accreditation for the Wharton School if one of the small, unknown, local schools on the AACSB list also has the same accreditation?
