BGA | BUSINESS IMPACT
T he very nature of business competition is shifting, as companies work to address social and economic needs through profitable business models, thereby creating shared value,’ reads the abstract to a 2021 working paper, ‘The Changing Role of Business in Society’, from Harvard Business School’s Michael Porter. Similarly, the Business Graduates Association (BGA) believes that the way Business Schools compete is also changing. Those institutions which can demonstrate their positive influence on society are increasingly able to stand out from the crowd, in the eyes of prospective students, employers, and other stakeholders. Business Impact set out to learn more and share examples of how Business Schools across the global BGA network are already striving to have a positive impact on their graduates, communities, and the natural environment. The subsequent pages showcase ideas and initiatives from Business Schools in France, Japan, Egypt, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada.
