On 12 October 2016, the Board of CBS gave their support to the new CBS Strategy.

The overall strategic direction is clear: We will strengthen our position as a broad, interdisciplinary business university always maintaining a focus on our impact on the society and a commitment to research and research-based education. We wish to contribute to society by finding new answers to societal challenges through academically excellent research and we engage with society through multi-lateral, interactive, continuous relationships that link integrative thinking with societal practices in ways that are mutually rewarding.
