About Nottingham Business School

At Nottingham Business School we make a positive impact on people, business and society. We achieve this by directly engaging with businesses and organisations and being purposeful in all we do, from our educational philosophy focusing on experiential learning and personalisation to our international collaborations and ethical leadership. By being inherently purposeful, we can make deliberate and ambitious steps forwards as pioneering educators, researchers and academics.

We believe that business is international by its nature, and for being relevant to business and society, business schools should have a direct and comprehensive engagement with organisations in private, public and voluntary sectors.

We also believe that all business organisations have an inherent interest to be and to act responsibly to all their stakeholders in society and thus follow a sustainable path environmentally, socially, financially and economically.

For business education and research to be relevant and have a positive impact on policy, practice and society, direct engagement with business organisations and an internationalist point of view are fundamental necessities.

We believe maximizing the overlap between our research education and engagement with business is both the source of many of our innovations and the most fertile ground for a positive impact on the people we educate, on the knowledge we create and disseminate, on organisations we work with and on the society we live in.

We therefore engage with business, professional bodies and educational networks at an international scale with a strong sense of responsibility and sustainability. In this way our research and education is more directly informed by and relevant to business and societal organisations, and help us to deliver Education that develops confident graduates who make a positive impact on business and society, and Research that impacts business practice and public policy.
