AACSB International (AACSB), the global accrediting body and membership association for business schools, has recognised the S P Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) among a sampling of 30 innovations that represent how B-schools are innovating and diversifying the business education environment.
Celebrated as part of AACSB's Centennial Anniversary and upcoming Visioning Initiative, the inaugural ‘Innovations That Inspire’ shines a spotlight on a variety of ways that AACSB member schools around the globe are working to innovate and diversify the business education environment.
“It is my pleasure to recognise SPJIMR for its role in spearheading ingenuity within the business education landscape,” said Thomas R. Robinson, president and chief executive officer of AACSB International.
“As AACSB celebrates 100 years of improving quality management education worldwide, it is important for those within and outside of the industry to be reminded of the vision, leadership, and innovative thinking business schools bring to the table. Through our 'Innovations That Inspire' recognition, SPJIMR stands as a testament to how business schools are driving positive impact within their communities and society at large, through their groundbreaking practices and continuous focus on excellence.”
SPJIMR was recognised for their submission #iamspjimr , which detailed a timed, zero-cost social media campaign around authenticity.
“I am happy to say that we are proud to have won this award because this is an award for being innovative. Our vision says that we want to be one of Asia's most innovative and socially responsive institutes. This is the beginning. A total of 296 institutes applied for this competition and there are only 30 winners from across the world. We are one, and therefore by this reckoning, one of the 30 best institutions in terms of innovation worldwide. We hope this is the first of many more recognitions to come,” said Ranjan Banerjee, Dean of SPJIMR.
