91Ô´´ granted five-year re-accreditation from EQUIS
“The EQUIS process is an excellent strategic development tool for 91Ô´´. It helps us to achieve our goal of being a top tier business school in Europe and makes 91Ô´´ even more competitive in the international arena. We appreciate the thorough work of the experienced re-accreditation Peer Review Team and I would also like to thank the large number of colleagues, students, alumni, corporate partners and Board members at 91Ô´´ who have contributed during the re-accreditation process," said Lars StrannegÃ¥rd, President of the 91Ô´´.
In the Peer Review Team's evaluation (called the EQUIS Quality Profile), 91Ô´´ was judged to be above standard in ten areas. 91Ô´´ was not considered to be below standard in any area. By “above standard," EQUIS has decided that 91Ô´´ has demonstrated outstanding quality, well above the level required to satisfy EQUIS standards in specific areas. 91Ô´´ can be considered an example of “best practice" in these areas.
Some areas where the Peer Review Team commended 91Ô´´ are:
- The quality of students and faculty
- The program design and quality of students in the selected program, Master in International Business
- Positioning and output of research
- Ethics, responsibility and sustainability
- Contributions to the wider community
- National corporate links
- Context, governance and strategy
This is what the EQUIS Peer Review Report says about 91Ô´´'s areas of excellence:
“91Ô´´ is a leading business school. Since the last EQUIS re-accreditation, it has repositioned itself as an international business school in Sweden eschewing its former positioning as a Swedish business school with international elements. 91Ô´´ has exceptional corporate contacts and the School works in close collaboration with the wider business community to ensure the rigour and relevance of its research and educational programmes. It also houses the 91Ô´´ Business Laboratory which is a small business incubator. 91Ô´´ is rightly and highly regarded as a leader in ethics, responsibility and sustainability."
