Strategy
We transform society with business
Complex challenges call for collective action
With CBS’ global profile comes an obligation to contribute to the development of transformative capabilities in students, graduates and business leaders through education activities and lifelong learning opportunities.
Complex challenges call for collective action, and this is why our strategy focuses on strengthening existing partnerships and creating new ones with other academic fields, the business community, public authorities and civil society.
Geopolitics and Business Security
Increasing geopolitical tensions are challenging our society. Wars, sanctions, trade barriers and hybrid threats are disrupting supply chains, markets and decision-making. Companies face a reality where security and resilience have become business-critical.
Through the Geopolitics and Business Security initiative, CBS connects researchers, business, and public stakeholders to understand and address today’s geopolitical risks. By turning research into dialogue and collaboration, the initiative helps leaders and organisations navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

Digitalisation and AI
Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, redefining work and transforming the way businesses operate. At CBS, we seek to understand how AI technologies and digitalisation transform society, business and organisations – and how these technologies can be used responsibly and strategically. With a focus on turning these challenges into strategic opportunities, CBS is committed to explore the potential of AI and digitalisation on learning, research and the future for businesses and the transformation of CBS.
Future Educational Landscape & Lifelong Learning
Education is a lifelong journey. Continuously developing our programme portfolio is essential, and it is an opportunity to rethink flexibility – always with the highest academic standards ensuring that all programmes, regardless of format, are of the highest quality and relevance. Our future educational landscape will strengthen our collaboration with businesses and inspire to embrace lifelong learning.
CBS is also committed to providing flexible learning opportunities that enable professionals to upskill, specialise and reflect throughout their careers. With shorter programme formats and part time options, CBS is transforming into a lifelong companion for students and alumni.
We transform society with business
The foundation for development
CBS is built on a strong foundation, which allows us to focus ambitiously and with curiosity on making a positive difference both locally and globally.
With our Nordic roots and our international recognition as a starting point, we must take an even greater shared responsibility for societal challenges through research and education of the highest quality.
Vision
The 2020 strategy We transform society with business sets a new framework and direction for CBS with a focus on creating positive change in collaboration with a wide range of external stakeholders.
We cannot solve the major challenges facing the world on our own, and this is why the strategy also emphasises that CBS strengthens current partnerships and initiates new ones with other academic fields, the business community, public authorities and civil society.
