AACSB International, the world’s largest business education alliance, has recognised the College of Business and Economics at Qatar University (QU) among 26 business schools highlighted in its ‘Innovations that Inspire’ member spotlight programme.
The annual programme recognises institutions from around the world that serve as champions of change in business education, a QU statement said Wednesday.
In 2024, the highlights feature unique ways that business schools are leveraging innovation to drive new value for the communities they serve. These schools are leading boldly to enable equitable access, empower problem-solvers, design timely curricula and credentials, deploy adaptive learning methods, create new knowledge, and develop societal impact leaders.
“In a world facing social, economic and technological challenges, business schools are innovating to develop powerful solutions. The Case Study Unit initiative of the College of Business and Economics exemplifies the unique ways that business schools create value and impact for their stakeholders,” said Lily Bi, AACSB president and CEO.
“Through bold leadership and innovation, QU’s College of Business and Economics is contributing to a better world, demonstrating the important role business schools play in our society.”
Commenting on this achievement, Prof. Rana Sobh, Dean of QU’s College of Business and Economics, said: “We are very proud of this recognition that attests to the college’s bold approach and its constant pursuit to adopt innovative ideas and to lead in business education locally and globally.”
Now in its ninth year, the ‘Innovations That Inspire’ initiative has highlighted 240 business school efforts that exemplify forward-looking approaches to education, research, community engagement, entrepreneurship, leadership, diversity and inclusion.
