The Steinbeis University and the courses offered by the SIBE are state-recognised and accredited by the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA). In addition, SIBE’s entire quality management system has been awarded system accreditation without any conditions. SIBE is a member of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and thus underscores the high quality standards it sets for its own education and research in an international context.
SIBE’s mission is based on the two following objectives and obligations:
- SIBE provides a framework for people to develop into creative personalities. A creative personality is characterized by the ability and clear-sightedness to recognize opportunities, approach them courageously, think them through thoroughly, assess them carefully and responsibly, and turn them into value-creating reality.
- SIBE provides a framework within which ideas can develop into high-quality innovations. A high-quality innovation is characterized by the fact that the new is not only different from what exists but also creates more value in a broad sense.
These objectives and obligations apply to SIBE’s teaching, research and corporate culture. Teaching at SIBE enables students to develop a life perspective that is characterized by discovering, understanding, evaluating, realizing and leading. Research at SIBE is all about successful and far-reaching knowledge transfer between science and industry. SIBE’s corporate culture is characterized by social practices, structures and processes with which SIBE, as a loyal and trustworthy partner, can meet its own objectives and obligations. In this way, we – faculty members, employees and managers at SIBE – want our degree programs to make it possible for our graduates to be highly successful. We aim to do this by enabling them to realize value-adding and sustainable benefits for companies, organizations and society with their creative personalities Because your success is our success!
