This document discusses international accreditation options for business schools, including AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS. It provides an overview of the scope, timing, and complexity of each accreditation. AACSB accredits entire universities, while AMBA focuses on MBA programs and EQUIS accredits entire business schools. The accreditation process takes several years and must be renewed periodically. International accreditation provides benefits like benchmarking and differentiation, but also costs in terms of resources and potential restrictions. Alternative options for demonstrating quality include national and international rankings, but rankings have limitations and do not directly promote quality enhancement.

How does a business school move from being national to global? How can a school form partnerships and alliances across the globe to share experiences, faculty, students and knowledge? Becoming recognised in a world where there are at least 11,500 university business schools is difficult, but one thing is certain – accreditation by a major accrediting body indicates that the school is a member of a set of special management education institutions. There are three major accrediting bodies that are known around the world: EFMD (with EQUIS and EPAS), AACSB and AMBA. Accreditation brings with it many benefits, including a demonstrable signal that the school is committed to continuous quality improvement. This presentation, bringing together representatives of all three of the major accrediting bodies, discusses the benefits and value of international accreditation from the perspective of each body.

Over the past 30 years, Singapore has established a reputation as a centre of educational excellence, in terms of the quality of local and international institutions located here, as well as its attraction to international students as part of the Global Schoolhouse initiative.
At East Asia Institute of Management (EASB), we are proud to be part of this development in attracting international students.
EASB had its genesis in 1984 as Informatics Software providing professional and vocational training in information technology. The company was restructured in 2001 to offer academic degree programmes and renamed East Asia School of Business (where its logo "EASB" was derived. Even after it was upgraded into East Asia Institute of Management it kept "EASB" as its logo. Consistent with our founding vision to be a world-class educational institution, we put in place, at the onset, robust structures, systems and processes, and established both the Academic Board and the Examination Board to ensure academic rigor of our programmes and integrity of our examination system.
Over the years, EASB continues to grow from strength to strength. Today, we are one of the leading Private Education Institutions (PEIs) in Singapore, offering a comprehensive suite of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across major disciplines.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

17. Why bother with accreditation: the benefits
• Provides an independent, objective framework which allows schools
to benchmark against international standards and enhance quality
in key areas: faculty, learning outcomes for students, research,
corporate relations, internationalisation
• Signals guarantee of quality to future students and faculty
• Provides quality kite mark for schools to differentiate themselves
from the rest

18. Why bother with accreditation: the benefits
(2)
• Provides quality kite mark for schools to differentiate themselves
from the rest…
• Tension for accreditation bodies between:
– Raising standards (more members) vs exclusivity (few members)
– Generating revenue (more members) vs retaining brand quality (few members)
• AACSB and AMBA weight raising standards ahead of exclusivity
• EQUIS give greater weight to exclusivity
– but risks providing lower value-added to schools given national and
international league tables

19. Why bother with accreditation: the costs
• Deadweight costs; bureaucracy to gather data, complete forms,
costs of accreditation visits
• Strategic costs: may require change of mission or unwanted change
to strategy
– AACSB’s focus on university: prevents b-schools in universities with other
management programmes from applying
– AMBA’s rule that MBA entrants require three years’ work experience: Harvard
Business School, Wharton, Stanford GSB, Columbia Business School, Chicago
Booth all do not meet this requirement
– EQUIS’s rule that b-school’s must be autonomous: works against b-schools
which are fully integrated into universities

24. Limitations of rankings
• Accused of being meaningless:
– add up ‘apples’ and ‘oranges’
– ignore mission or (worse) assume all institutions’ missions are the same as the
top-ranked institution
• Only indirectly promote quality enhancement
– Universities have to work out algorithms and make changes to improve their
rankings
– No direct feedback to improve quality
– Focus on rankings may lead to game-playing

25. Conclusions
• Achieving international accreditation ahs become an objective for
many Australian b-schools
• There are both real and reputational benefits from accreditation,
which come at a cost
• Rankings are also a fact of life and provide reputational benefits, but
they are harder to manage
• In a competitive environment, both serve to help b-schools
differentiate themselves from the pack
