Top Rated International Accreditation Agencies  have been presenting at SEAA Conferences from 2008. 

We  had  chosen "Social Impact of Business Education" as a theme for the just concluded 15th International Accreditation Conference 15TH IAC 2022   held   on  November for two days, 7 & 8, 2022 (Monday/Tuesday) .

The current year's conference had nearly 30  speakers from around the world representing the UN Global Compact, the Five International Accreditation systems we closely track, leading  B-schools  and also the  Industry and Education leaders to discuss the various aspects connected to  Business School education's impact on the society.  Detailed suggestions were provided to    help the schools to produce leaders  for the future who are sensitive to the global sustainability and development. We would presenting our Report on the conference  soon. 

Day1: We had an extremely purposeful Day 1 of  our 15th International  Accreditation Conference  on a virtual platform where  our panel discussion on the theme "Social Impact of Business Education" led by Prof Bijoy Sahoo, Executive vice chancellor of Southern University and A& M college, Baton Rouge. We had an extremely intensive  and equally thought provoking  sessions from AACSB led by Amy Memon, Regional Head South Asia, EFMD led by Prof Piet Naude Director of the University of Stellenbosch Business School USB and Dr  Mark Stoddard, Director of Accreditation of AMBA-GBA. We rounded up with a crucial reminder of the future under our SEAA+Future talk series delivered by Asia's largest atmospheric water harvesting company,  Ramarkishna M R Chairman of Maitri Aquatech, Hyderbad. UN Global Compact Network India was well represented by Aseem Kumar, Head Asia Pacific Resource Center of UN GCNI.

Day2: What sort of future managers we would be producing for the emerging social order? Answers to this were complex and varied that were provided by our speakers on the second day panel led by Doug Gilbert of Lone Tree Academics of USA. The debate centered around  ethics, values and experiential learning rather than rot learning and industry internships that does not add to learning. The  day also saw two International Accreditaion presentations from ACBSP and IACBE, both of whom are  doing great work in the area of learning assessment for the social impact by member schools. The two SEAA+Future continued on the same vein of suggesting that the students should be all rounded  and just focused on profit maximisation  as end goal for industry. Benedict Gnanaish  a media professional suggests students are prepared to respond for just based on memory, but attention, processing and sequencing of thought while Dr V J Byra Reddy of Chanakya was advocating  Liberal arts learning in Business Education to help connect with society.  

The idea is to understand the tectonic changes taking place in the industry  having adopted  industry 4.0 as a  concept central to which is the commitment of industry to society. The   future is not   for  the conventional industry and societal interface where the later is  more or less taken for granted with the industry  pushing its products and services not  based on the need of the society but on the strength and willingness of the industry to open new markets  and new needs. Much of the Business Education is to understand the industry consumer interface more as demand push  rather  than demand pull with the  society demanding a product or service and not the industry pushing its products or services  whether or not society needs or wants. This is based on the premises of lack of knowledge of the consumers or the perceived purchasing power of the consumers.

              MEMBER

The  United Nations Global Compact india of which we have been members for some years now looked  at the entire industry consumer ecosystem from the  standpoint of development which is also sustainable. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals  SDGs enunciated by the  the Global  Compact has placed the industry in the center of the  society  where it is expected to meet the needs of the society on a sustainable basis.  SEAA Trust, New Delhi as member of the UN Global compact  has been  spearheading the  Industry 4.0 debate and the discussions on the New Education Policy of 2019 from the 

perspective of what is needed for the society  and try and understand what the Business Education  processes can do to  impact the society by building  leaders sensitive to the society needs. 

International Accreditation agencies have also understood this shift and  all the top accreditors have included social goals as part of the  assessment process being rolled out while they evaluate the  institutions for accreditation. Our Revised Accreditation Handbook of 2022 in partnership with Indus Business Academy would reflect this new development as well. 

6th Peregrine SEAA students case competition 

The just concluded  6th Peregrine Global -SEAA Student case competition & workshop    also had the same theme "social impact of business education" and sub themes as the conference to help us  assess and understand the thought process of the future  leaders. We had  also requested  the  Faculty to  submit their papers  on the same theme and sub-themes  to help select three papers that would be presented  at the conference in addition to all the submitted and chosen papers being published in our conference book and the student workshop newsletter. 

The global business leaders are convinced  the technology is no longer the challenge but leadership definitely is. Increasingly the top business schools from around the world are under pressure to tweak the  curriculum

Dr Olin O Odekoven  has    ended his ceaseless contribution to the global education quality building. At SEAA Trust, New Delhi we had  the first hand  experience  of how the former American Brigadier General  from Wyoming shaped the quality building process in India through his company Peregrine Academics and now Peregrine Global and also his personal. friendly and relentless efforts expecting nothing in return!  May his Soul Rest in Peace
