Cross-Functional Themes

Strategic Framework 2025 2030

Two cross-functional strategic themes focus the Faculty’s collective efforts to compete and lead across critical areas of management scholarship and practice.


Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Managing Disruption

  • Champion intrapreneurship and facilitate the creation and continuity of novel businesses and social enterprises
  • Guide management practice to generate and harness opportunities that arise from emerging technologies and industry disruptions, such as AI and analytics
  • Equip students to be innovative leaders— today and tomorrow—by providing transformative experiences that build future- readiness.

Sustainability, Ethics and Equity

  • Improve the long-term management of human, societal, organizational, economic, and environmental challenges
  • Advance management with integrity and equitable outcomes, along with workplace wellness and diverse, inclusive cultures

For each theme, Â鶹AV Desautels will:

  • Strengthen existing programming and develop new materials for our academic offerings
  • Use institutes and initiatives to create new student projects, fund actionable faculty research, and partner with others at Â鶹AV and externally
  • Be known for our expertise in Â鶹AV, Montreal, Canada, and the wider global community
