I agree that the sources of journal rankings Jerry Katz' point at are good ones. In addition, you may want to check the compilation we offer on our research program's website:
http://www.bus.qut.edu.au/research/acbr/eirp/
or link directly to our journal ranking document.
http://www.bus.qut.edu.au/research/acbr/eirp/journals.jsp
Focusing on Entrepreneurship and Innovation our compilation is more comprehensive than the UK-ABS one but more selective than Harzings listing across all business disciplines. We also provide some commentary that you may find useful.

http://www.the-abs.org.uk/?id=257. They offer a
> listing by "field and rank" available from the above

> documented, (2) rankings are provided for journals
> in other disciplines, so cross disciplinary
> comparisons of journal quality are possible, and (3)
> Not every discipline has top-tier (rank 4 in their
> parlance) journals, which shows there is
> discriminating power. I think the ENT/SB listing
> makes a lot of sense and "travels well", although
> some other lists (like IB in particular) look
> markedly different from what we are used to seeing
> in North America. I'd be curious what folks think of

> Next to that, Anne-Wil Harzing's Journal Quality

http://www.harzing.com/ is the most complete
> coverage of journal rankings, and she also has a
> version by discipline. Anne-Wil does not offer a
> summative ranking, but provides a very complete
> listing of others' rankings. BTW, Harzing's Publish
> or Perish software provides a free and fascinating
> way to look at journal and author impact. It uses
> Google Scholar (vs. ISI's Journal Impact Ratings),
> and offers the latest stats for assessing impact.
> She also provides some interesting papers on the
> in's and out's of rankings and journal impact
> statistics. When these issues are heavy on your
> mind, she makes for good reading.
