Positive Business School Impact

AACSB Pulse: Positive Business School Impact

What if business schools were evaluated not by rankings but by how students and faculty perceived their impact on society?

Host Eileen McAuliffe, AACSB's executive vice president, chief thought leadership officer, and managing director of EMEA, asks Katrin Muff, president and co-creator of the Positive Impact Rating, three pressing questions related to the impact of business schools on society:

1. What inspired the creation of the Positive Impact Rating, and how did you and your collaborators shape its methodology to reflect values beyond traditional rankings? 
2. Who takes part in PIR, and how can business schools use their PIR results to accelerate institutional change
3. How might schools leverage the PIR framework to better identify or refine their societal impact focus?
