Sasin

Sasin
School of Management (of Chulalongkorn University) was recently awarded the Business
School Impact System (BSIS) label from the EFMD Global Network. Sasin is the
first AAPBS member school and the first business school in Southeast Asia to
earn this designation.
Launched
in 2014, the Business School Impact System goes beyond the numbers. Its
the first comprehensive tool to assess a business schools real impact on the
financial, economic, societal, and image aspects of the local community and
environment. The BSIS process helps a school measure the tangible and
intangible benefits that it brings to the local community.
Everyone at Sasin is
proud that we've been named as a BSIS Impact School, said Sasins Director,
Professor Ian Fenwick. The measure of a good business school, or any learning
institution, is the impact it brings to the people and organizations in
its community. Going through this process has reinforced for us the
importance of what we do on every level - educational, business development,
and societal.
Sasins Deputy Director
of Strategy, Innovation, and Impact, Nick Pisalyaput, noted how this award coincides
with Sasins purpose: Sustainability has long been a focus of what we do at
Sasin, and our new strategy, to develop sustainability through an
entrepreneurial mindset, has been strengthened by this process, he
said. With this new BSIS designation, we will be re-invigorated to maximize
the impact of all of our activities in our efforts to build a better, more
sustainable world.
