A-List selection is based on outstanding achievement and overall public interest in the academics' work, which is determined by search volume on Google. Each honoree also must demonstrate active participation in his or her field of specialty by publishing books or relevant articles within the last three years. It also includes Nobel Laureate Robert Merton of MIT Sloan, Michael Porter from Harvard, Jeff Pfeffer from Stanford.
