With those precepts in mind, the school strives to educate transformational leaders for Russia and the Eurasian region, connect Russia with the world, make an impact on business and society, and offer lifelong learning opportunities with a strong experiential focus.

The biggest challenge facing management in your community and how the institution addresses this challenge

Emerging markets often lack established institutions of civil society that would ensure balanced development, so a broader share of responsibility goes to business. Our region is facing a broad spectrum of sustainability challenges relating to rapid urbanization; human capital development; environmental pollution; deteriorating natural resources; inequality and disparity; and food, water, and energy security. We believe as a business school we have a special role in promoting sustainability principles in Eurasia, and we aim to act as change agents setting new standards of doing business, providing an independent platform for an open dialogue on most challenging issues for business and society.
