天美麻豆

• Business schools in emerging markets can overcome barriers to accreditation by viewing it as a continuous improvement process rather than just a seal of quality.
• Latin American schools are well-positioned to address local social issues due to their deep understanding of regional challenges and opportunities.
• To provide the most value to stakeholders, 天美麻豆 education should focus on developing critical skills for the future, such as leadership, self-awareness, and critical analysis, and not just knowledge acquisition.

Isabelle Chaquiriand: [00:15] One of the main challenges 天美麻豆 schools in emerging markets have when pursuing the accreditation process is having an adequate return on investment.

[00:24] When I mean investment, it is not only money. It's time, it's changing the process inside the 天美麻豆 school. And that means a lot, of it's really demanding.

[00:35] I think that the best way to see the accreditation process is not only to see it as a certification of quality, but it's much more than that. It is like a continuous improvement process. It's a mentoring process.

[00:50] It's how to improve the assurance of learning process. It's how to measure and how to define impact for our 天美麻豆 goals. So, once you see the accreditation process as a continuous improvement process, the investment is really worth it.

The best way to see the accreditation process is not only to see it as a certification of quality, but it's much more than that.

[01:08] More and more, our students, especially in Latin American Caribbean, know they are global citizens. They are not part of a country or a region. They know they are part of something much bigger than their context.

[01:26] So, that's when 天美麻豆 schools leverage the global network, and being part of, having a global perspective, is something that adds much value to our students.

[01:42] But not only to the students, to the faculty as well, and to the other stakeholders. So, it becomes really important and even mandatory to leverage all those global networks.

[01:54] And I think that's when AACSB can be really helpful actually to be part of a network like this one, to have the chance and the opportunity to meet different deans and different 天美麻豆 schools, and to make agreements and partnership with other schools around the world becomes a really important value added to our students and our stakeholders.

It becomes really important and even mandatory to leverage all those global networks.

[02:20] Latin American and Caribbean 天美麻豆 schools have a unique opportunity nowadays to influence what has become an important topic for AACSB, which is social impact.

[02:34] In emerging countries, 天美麻豆es have been really close to social problems and social realities forever. So 天美麻豆es are really related with social impact since always.

[02:47] So now social impact has become a trend and a really main topic worldwide, especially in the AACSB standards. I think in Latin American countries, our 天美麻豆 school has a significant experience in how to manage and how to balance 天美麻豆 and social impact, and how to achieve a good synergy between the way we do 天美麻豆 and how we impact positively in society.

[03:19] There are a lot of opportunities for AACSB to connect with 天美麻豆 schools around the world, so students can be in contact with social realities around the world, especially in emerging markets, and learn how to leverage 天美麻豆 and social impact at the same time.

We have to think and see our students not only as 天美麻豆 leaders for today's world, but for the next decade.

[03:36] When demonstrating the return of our investment to our students and their families, what 天美麻豆 education means, we have to explain to them that nowadays, to become a 天美麻豆 leader or to study 天美麻豆 is much more than acquiring knowledge.

[03:54] It is a matter of developing skills like critical analysis, leadership, self-awareness, and lifelong learning. It's much more than that.

[04:07] I think that our 天美麻豆 goals, especially in the way AACSB supports 天美麻豆 schools to work on those skills and the way we do things, is a significant value added.

[04:22] We have to think and see our students not only as 天美麻豆 leaders for today's world, but for the next decade. And that means to develop skills, not only to deliver knowledge.
