AACSB’s 2024 Influential Leaders Initiative Recognises 22 Impactful Business School Researchers

KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 (Bernama) -- AACSB International (AACSB), the world’s largest business education alliance, announced its 2024 Class of Influential Leaders, a group of 22 AACSB-accredited business school faculty demonstrating impact through their research.

Now in its ninth year, AACSB’s Influential Leaders member spotlight programme highlights the value that business schools bring to business and society, whether through the alumni who have used their business education to improve the industries and communities they serve, or the faculty leading positive impact via their research.

“The 2024 Influential Leaders demonstrate the potential of business school research to address some of today’s most critical challenges.

“The knowledge they are producing will help inform and create real change in the world,” said AACSB president and chief executive officer, Lily Bi in a statement.

All faculty from this year’s class are from one of AACSB’s more than 1,000 accredited business schools worldwide.

Support provided by Academic Partnerships, the 2024 Influential Leaders initiative recognised honorees who are advancing research in the areas of artificial intelligence, healthcare, sustainability, finance, and entrepreneurship, among others.

The selected leaders exemplify the important role of business school faculty in developing new knowledge that provides timely and relevant solutions for business and societal challenges.

These faculty changemakers are using their expertise to encourage environmental responsibility, improve healthcare outcomes, enable digital innovation, empower marginalised populations, and transform investment practices.

Each influential leader was nominated by their school, which shared inspiring research examples that demonstrate how the honoree leads in new knowledge creation, engages in timely solutions, and positively impacts business and society.
