Legal recognition is what allows an institution to award degrees in its own country. Business-school accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA and others) are voluntary quality reviews of the business school and do not automatically cover every program. None of these guarantees that a degree is recognized for employment or further study in every other country.
