connected for better (

Societal Impact of Business Schools.

"Demonstrating positive societal impact is a defining characteristic of a
quality business school, with AACSB-accredited schools leading the way," said
Caryn L. Beck-Dudley, AACSB president and CEO. "As a connector and convener
within the business education industry, AACSB is excited to amplify the
outstanding efforts of our members in the communities they serve, locally and
globally. Together, our relationships will create agile and innovative
partnerships among learners, within universities, and across business and
government for society's greater benefit."
Grounded in the themes of the organization's Collective Vision for Business
Education (
), AACSB identifies five areas where business schools can create positive
societal impact:
- Connect business, community, and government to deliver results
- Solve problems based on knowledge-sharing and research
- Develop purpose-driven leaders with the vision to tackle the
toughest challenges
- Create hubs for lifelong learning to promote prosperity and
elevate economies
- Inspire innovations with the power to change the world
To encourage collaborations among business schools, their partners, and their
stakeholders, AACSB's briefing paper provides a framework for business schools
to define, understand, and realize the impact they seek to achieve through
strategic management, learning experiences, thought leadership and research,
and outreach efforts and priorities. It further identifies common challenges
business schools face in defining and measuring societal impact and offers
exercises to serve as conversation starters on the issue.
Over the next 12 months and beyond, AACSB will continue to engage stakeholder
groups globally by sharing insights and initiatives—including those that
feature influential alumni (
) and inspiring innovations (
)—to highlight business education's efforts to be connected for better. To view
