Dr. Geoff Perry gave a brief introduction to the history of the development of AACSB international accreditation. He said that only about 5% of business schools in the world have achieved AACSB accreditation, which not only reflects the high standards and strict requirements of AACSB accreditation, but also confirms the strong strength of accredited business schools. Meanwhile, Dr. Geoff Perry affirmed the outstanding achievements made by the HNU Business School after passing the AACSB accreditation, and praised the school’s strong leadership team, efficient faculty, and clear positioning direction, as well as its contributions to the economic development of Hunan. It is hoped that the school will take the AACSB accreditation as an opportunity to further optimize and promote its brand building, improve its operational performance, and strengthen its regional and international influence.
