Our vision is to promote social justice, sustainability and good governance in the management of private, public and voluntary organisations through our research and education.

Mission

Our mission is to:

  • conduct high quality research addressing the most challenging and pressing issues in business and government;
  • do problem-driven research bridging disciplinary and methodological boundaries;
  • personalise our business education around the values of social justice, sustainability and good governance, and inspire our students to be self-reflective and pursue those values throughout their lives; and
  • engage with those in all three sectors to create knowledge in service of our key values.
