Appointment of Professor Adam Lindgreen as Extraordinary Professor at the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science

Professor Adam Lindgreen is appointed at Extraordinary Professor at the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science, South Africa where previously he was a research associate. Founded in 2000, the internationally accredited Institute is based in South-Africa’s economic hub, Johannesburg. The Institute is the top South African and, indeed, African business school, and it ranks among the top business schools worldwide. The Institute believes in ensuring that business executives are able to develop a broader view and constructively engage with government, labor, and civil society. In this way, businesses responsibly can generate the growth that a country needs. The Institute is accredited and is a partner in many international networks (e.g., Principles for Responsible Management Education [PRME]). Like Copenhagen Business School, the Institute conducts world-class research that informs its other activities, from education and Ph.D. provision, to entrepreneurship and innovation, and to co-operation with businesses and society. “I shall be looking much forward,” says Professor Lindgreen, “to collaborating with the Institute and its faculty, as well as to build bridges between Copenhagen Business School and the Institute.” He will be visiting the Institute this summer.
