This overall ranking doesn't demonstrate everything. Furthermore, mature MBA applicants will care more about what they really want and what they can really obtain from the program.
In my opinion, one reason why HKUST didn't intentionally make the ranking better, as certain school did, is that HKUST cares more about the real improvement of the quality of the program, the benefits for the students, and the sustainable development. For example, MBA office is now putting great efforts to improve the career services and we all appreciate their efforts very much. I believe that the real achievement and reputation can be obtained only by systematical development and long-term's accumulation, not by just playing numerical games in a ranking system.
On the other hand, from the FT rank, which is not perfect, we can also see that HKUST has some strengthes which get recognition across the world these years, for example,
26th in Career Center Job Placement success, 7th for Doctoral Professors 6th in Employment at 3 months. 3rd for International faculty 1st for International Board of Directors
Wish HKUST will keep these strengthes and continue to improve!

I guess you had a presumption: other schools didn't make "true" efforts while HKUST did. May I say this is a dynamic world---everyone is improving. The game is to compete the speed of improvement.
