Constant Themes Targeted at Recognizing High Quality Business Education and Efforts towards Continuous Improvement Innovation: Accreditation standards and associated processes should foster quality and consistency, but not at the expense of creativity and innovation. We expect that innovation will lead improvement and high-quality. Impact: In an environment of increasing accountability, accreditation must focus on outcomes. Areas of impact include assurance of learning, the impact of the research done by faculty on theory, practice and teaching of business. Examples of impact across several areas are noted in the appendix of the standards. Engagement: We believe that high-quality business education results when there is significant on-going engagement with the professional world. Accreditation should encourage an appropriate intersection of academic and professional engagement consistent with quality in the context of the school’s mission.
