Values of the Gustavson School of Business

Dr. A. Downey

We're committed to providing a dynamic and unique learning environment that develops principled managers and leaders who can drive innovation and social change.

Our four-pillar philosophy summarizes our core values. These pillars ground and support the education we provide.

International: Being appreciative, well-informed and perceptive of the diverse, complex world we live in and having the skill-set required to succeed in it.
Integrative: Having a deep understanding of the fundamental areas of business combined with an awareness of how these areas continuously interact with one another, and the abilities to use this knowledge.
Innovative: Being flexible and creative to view the world, issues and opportunities from different perspectives and secure enough to take risks and try new things.
Socially Responsible and Sustainable: Having the awareness and skills to consider the economic, environmental and social consequences of decisions in business and personal contexts.
