28 January, 2020: In the first edition of Positive Impact Rating, a new rating for Business schools unveiled during the 2020 World Economic Forum meet at Davos, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has been rated one among nine schools in the ‘Transforming Schools’ category. IIMB has been listed along with schools such as London Business School (UK), Esade Business School (Spain), Eada Business School Barcelona (Spain) and Edhec Business School (France).
These ‘transforming schools’ show a positive impact culture, embedded in governance and systems, with visible results in a number of impact dimensions.
Dr. G. Raghuram, Director, IIM Bangalore, said: “It is a matter of pride that IIMB is in this list. This type of ranking has come as a welcome surprise, and again a testimony to the efforts by all stakeholders of the institution over the past so many years where inclusion and social relevance, in addition to academic excellence, has driven the values and direction of the institution.”
Positive Impact Rating looks at ‘positive impact’ of business schools, selected from a top set of rankings including the Financial Times ranking. Out of this, 51 B-schools participated this year, including IIMB. The participation was focused on student inputs. Thirty schools were awarded a rating. The remaining 21 schools were placed in the ‘Progressing Schools’ (level 3) category. Level 5 called ‘Pioneering Schools’ is the highest category, which no institution had qualified.
IIMB has been featured in the level 4 (Transforming schools) while XLRI found its place in level 3 (Progressing schools) of the rating.
It is the first time that students around the world assess their business schools on how they perceive their positive impact in the world. The positive impact of business schools goes beyond their contribution to business and the economy; it addresses the need for their positive impact on society.
According to a prepared release from PIR, the purpose of Positive Impact Rating for Business Schools is to measure how business schools contribute to solving societal challenges by energising the school and its culture, by educating current and future leaders, by providing relevant research results and offers for continuing education, by participating in the public debate and by being a role model institution. The Positive Impact Rating seeks to contribute as a lever of change to the transformation of the business school landscape.
