TAMPA, Fla., Apr. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
- Seventh annual member spotlight program features business education's
commitment to action
Today, AACSB International (AACSB) (
) -- the world's largest business education alliance -- announces 24 business
schools highlighted in its Innovations That Inspire (
) member spotlight program.
This annual program recognizes institutions from around the world that serve as
champions of change in the business education landscape. In 2022, the
highlights feature efforts to elevate diversity, equity, inclusion, and
belonging (DEIB). Emphasis on DEIB is a key feature of AACSB's 2020 business
accreditation standards (
) and the focus of a recently released positioning paper (
). The paper illustrates AACSB's commitment to equitable access to high-quality
business education globally and calls on the business education community to
embed the tenets of DEIB into its strategies and cultures.
The featured innovations address challenges and opportunities across academia,
businesses and workplaces, and communities. Examples include:
-- The Egypt Women on Boards Observatory (
):
Founded by a consortium initiated by the American University in Cairo
School of Business, the effort supports the national objective of
having women compose 30 percent of public and private company boards
in Egypt by 2030.
-- The Australian Digital Inclusion Index (
)
from Swinburne University of Technology's School of Business, Law and
Entrepreneurship -- Centre for Social Impact: This multiyear project
that documents digital inclusion in Australia by both geography and
demography is the only comprehensive index of its kind.
-- Florida State University's Workforce Inclusion (
) course:
Within the College of Business, this transformative course prepares
students to both accommodate and integrate persons with varying
abilities into the workforce.
"Progress toward more welcoming, inclusive spaces requires action, and the
highlights of the 2022 Innovations That Inspire initiative demonstrate
leadership in this important effort," said Caryn Beck-Dudley, AACSB president
and CEO. "Through collaborations -- among business schools, businesses, and
communities -- we will create a strong global society and equip leaders for
positive impact."
Now in its seventh year, the Innovations That Inspire initiative has
highlighted nearly 200 business school efforts that exemplify forward-looking
approaches to education, research, community engagement or outreach,
entrepreneurship, and leadership. Support for the 2022 Innovations That Inspire
member spotlight program is provided by the Graduate Management Admission
Council (GMAC).
