We are now living in a world facing unprecedented challenges, including polarization and separatism, climate change, and disruptive technologies. What are the qualities that our future business leaders must have? And what roles should business schools play in shaping such leaders for the turbulent world? These questions have  inspired IBSSC, the conference we bring together deans of business school around the world.

Global Risk and the Social Responsibility of Business Schools

Business schools teach risk management and ethical decision-making. Given the turbulence of the contemporary environment, how can we, as business schools, lead in sustainable development and social responsibility?

International Business Schools’ Collaboration in an Uncertain World

Since the pandemic broke out, international education, student mobility and joint research have been disrupted and forced to adapt themselves in such a global environment. How should we refine our internationalization strategies? How should we develop new international partnerships and strengthen existing partnerships? How should we navigate the complexities of business education in this uncertain world?
