The main upcoming event is the peer review visit by EQUIS, beginning on 5 March.

In other news we take a look at Senior Lecturer Sverre Spoelstra's research on how traditional tasks such as management, supervision and even recruitment can be handled by software. 

Also, several student organisations object to the new digital diplomas, especially concerning their weight internationally.

Comments from colleagues

Margareta Dackehag, on the peer review visit by EQUIS:

As triple accredited we are one of about 120 business schools out of approximately 15 000 worldwide. It's a mark of quality, it's branding for sure, and it definitely plays a part in attracting international students and partner universities.

EQUIS have already received our report and an online archive, and on 5-7 March we will have a peer review visit at LUSEM, where three Deans from international business schools as well as one corporate representative will be checking every aspect of our school.

At each review visit one program is specifically highlighted for a more thorough review, and this time it's International Strategic Management.

The peer review team from Equis consists of: 

Julia Bennet, Dean & Professor, Leeds University Business School

Isabelle Huault, Executive President & Dean EMLyon Business School

Mark Raymond, Acting Dean Sain’t Mary’s University School of Business, Canada

Michael Heuser, Former Senior VP HRD, Deutsche Lufthansa & Deutsche Telekom

He researches algorithmic leadership
