A Business School Conceptual Framework
The Business School Conceptual Framework, developed by the AACSB International Task Force on Business Schools and Innovation, is a tool for defining, measuring, and articulating your school’s unique value. The framework helps to illustrate the place of business schools within a societal structure, and to identify several of the many dimensions along which schools can and do differentiate their activities and expected outcomes.

Explore this tool to help define, measure, and communicate your school’s unique value:

  • What are the mechanisms by which your business school interacts with, and impacts, different constituents and aspects of the communities it serves?
  • How does your school distinguish itself in a competitive management education environment?
  • How do you articulate those distinguishing characteristics to prospective students and other stakeholders?

Suggested Questions about Ethics Education for Business School Leaders
This document provides sample questions that may be helpful to business schools seeking to evaluate and confirm their commitment and support of ethical conduct and curricular content. The questions, which are related to specific AACSB International accreditation standards, may help schools to prepare for their work with accreditation peer review teams. Although the suggestions are intended to encourage thought and discussion about ethics education, they do not create new accreditation standards or supersede current standards. Both the questions and the responses that follow them are intended as general guidance that can be tailored to the specific needs of all schools, including those not currently engaged in accreditation. The document is an excerpt (pages 16–19) from Ethics Education in Business Schools, the 2004 report of the Ethics Education Task Force to the AACSB Board of Directors.
