America is the home of the MBA degree, and the most prestigious business schools are almost all situated in the US. There are some good business schools in Europe - for instance Insead and the London Business school, but these are relatively few.
However, no matter how good the reputation of the business school you attend, it is necessary for you to work hard at maximizing the value you get from your MBA degree. You need to not only study to gain the knowledge you need for your career, you also need to constantly work at applying this knowledge to your own situation and your own talents.
Because the MBA is essentially an applied degree, you can only get the best out of it by working at this application. Knowledge has little value in a vacuum, it is how you use that knowledge that is important.
