Amsterdam Business School

The ABS mission and vision explicitly state that we want to foster independent minds that have an impact on international business and society. We take the societal aspect of this mission and vision very seriously through particular attention to ethics, responsibility and sustainability in research, education and outreach activities. ABS has been working on these issues since its inception. Mission: The mission of ABS is to offer an inspiring international learning community to study business and management, where both staff and students can develop their capacities to optimum effect. We aim to foster independent minds with an impact on international business and society at large by conducting high-quality academic research on innovative and socially relevant themes, and by offering research-based teaching that meets the highest international standards. We are committed to advancing the understanding of business and its role in society, and to leveraging synergies between our School and its institutional and corporate environment. Vision: Our vision of the future is to build ABS into a business school with a reputation that matches the reputation of its parent institution, the University of Amsterdam.
