This report captures contributions made during the Deans Multi-stakeholder Dialogue at Davos: On the Future of Business Schools Rankings and Ratings, convened during the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2020. Co-sponsored by Corporate Knights, the Principles for Responsible anagement Education (PRME) and the Positive Impact Rating (PIR), this annual event brings together business school deans and other key stakeholders to consider how business schools should transform in support of a more sustainable and ethical world.
As the title of this year’s event suggests, the focus of the Deans Dialogue was on the need to fundamentally reconsider the metrics and methods used to rank and rate business schools, in order to create a more aligned system, in which business schools are encouraged and recognized for prioritizing actions that contribute to long-term, positive societal impact in their teaching, research and service activities.
