  5. AACSB Standards Update • What do these themes mean? • Innovation: the standards must • set demanding but realistic thresholds, • challenge us to innovate, and • inspire educators to pursue continuous improvement. • It is key to • recognize the importance of experimentation • place priority on strategic innovation • recognize that innovation involves the potential for success and the risk of failure

  7. AACSB Standards Update • What do these themes mean? • Engagement: Quality business education cannot be achieved when either academic or professional engagement is absent, or when they do not intersect in meaningful ways. This includes: • interaction and engagement among students, administrators, faculty, and practitioners • engagement of appropriate stakeholders in revising the mission, expected outcomes, supporting strategies, curriculum development, governance, etc. • actively engaging students in learning • engagement of faculty in sustaining intellectual capitol necessary to support high-quality outcomes consistent with our mission and strategies
