We value: Interaction with, and service to, our community integrity and honesty in all our actions; transparency and openness in all our actions; zero tolerance of corruption of any kind; mutual respect between all stakeholders; a spirit of continuous improvement. These underpin the Honor Code for the KBS Community (students, faculty and staff) adopted in 2017. VISION AND GOALS By 2018, KBS will be a leading international business school in Central Asia, supporting, and being supported by the community, as it delivers high quality accredited and relevant: Academic programs; Research; Executive education and consulting in partnership with iKBTU. based on a foundation of committed quality faculty to enhance the development of the economy and society of the Republic of Kazakhstan by developing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that drives change and renewal. KBS Goals Deliverable and measurable excellence in: Academic programs Research Executive Education Consulting (in partnership with iKBTU) Community Engagement Current Accreditations Candidacy for Accreditation MISSION As part of the wider KBTU family, KBS operates within the broad mission of the University, which is as follows: 'KBTU considers its mission to provide high quality education for future leaders in business and industry, to promote innovative technologies and research in the most advanced and promising areas of science, for the benefit of the region and the country as a whole'. Within this framework statement, to reflect the unique position of KBS within the KBTU system, the following KBS mission statement has been adopted: KBS is the Networked Business School - We aim to deliver best in class services in all areas in partnership A more detailed statement has also been adopted 'KBTU Business School (KBS) was founded on the networked principle. In today’s interconnected world, the best way to deliver quality is through partnership. In all our activities, 4 we believe that this networked model offers maximum flexibility and efficiency to deliver quality services in Kazakhstan. To that end, since its creation, the Business School has sought and will continue to develop partnerships on an institutional and individual level to deliver best in class services to our clients in every area of operations. KBTU Business School is uniquely placed within Central Asia as a node in the global education network to provide access to the region and to support key actors in the region to develop global links'. To make this happen, we believe that it is critical to view all operations as interconnected. For example, quality research informs what is taught in the classroom, leading to improved quality of the academic programs, opportunities for making the link to consulting projects and provides a foundation for more effective executive training. Focusing on upgrading quality in all areas simultaneously will, we argue, drive a virtuous circle of quality improvement (Figure 1), which will be further driven by the development of demanding customer relations with external partners, within KBTU, with government, the business community and international university partners. Our programs: serve existing pillars of the city, regional and national economy, with sector-specific programs in oil and gas, financial and business services; principally though the MS in Supply Chain and Project Management, provide support for the development of transportation and logistics to help Kazakhstan benefit from its strategic location on the ‗new Silk Road‘ between Europe and Asia. provide a cross-sectoral foundation-building programs in human resource management, project management, technology entrepreneurship with a particular focus on software, the green economy and creative industries and entrepreneurial finance. The Networked Business School in Action - Collaboration with The British Council, Almaty Akimat and EU On November 14 2016 the EU delegation to Kazakhstan awarded a 430,000 Euro project to a consortium of the British Council in Kazakhstan, KBTU Business School, Almaty Akimat and Almaty Development Centre for a three year project entitled 'Engaging Citizens in Smart City Development'. KBTU Business School will gain 50-60,000 Euro per year for each of the three years (150- 180,000 Euro total). This will be used to cover administrative costs of managing the project, plus an allocation to cover part of the time of senior administrators to support the management of the project. This project will involve a series of workshops or forums, training for community leaders and public sector officials in developing constructive dialogue and the development and management of a 'challenge fund' for technology-driven social enterprises. In addition there will be two major conferences and the development of good practice guides in how to develop and manage a smart city project that simultaneously delivers technological solutions while drawing on the resources of the community to ensure social and economic relevance. In essence the project complements KBTU's work on the technical side of smart city development by focusing on increasing the 'soft' or people-based capacities of leading actors in the city alongside the 'hard' technology solutions and represents a step change in the engagement of the Business School with the community. KBS Strategy Framework-Developing A Virtuous Circle KBS Strategy Framework 5 As noted in the mission, four goal areas have been identified. KBS aims for demonstrated excellence in: Academic programs Research Executive Education Consulting & Community Engagement Each goal is based on the foundation of: quality faculty to ensure delivery; orientation to external stakeholders to ensure relevance; level of internationalization to ensure the uniqueness of the KBS offer within Kazakhstan, combining the global and local to produce high utility outcomes; demonstrable outcomes, visible to all stakeholders through adoption of a transparent monitoring framework as an integral part of the initial development of the strategy. By 2018, KBS will have a reputation for quality in all areas of operations. The aim is to develop synergies between each goal: Better academic programs lead to better research due to the demand for relevance. More research leads to better academic programs and consulting opportunities. Consulting (in partnership) leads to more relevant academic programs and research, and to more executive education in partnership with iKBTU. Development of internal and external linkages accelerates the process of development. 6 PART II - MANAGEMENT OF KBTU BUSINESS SCHOOL Ewan Simpson Ph.D., University of Glasgow (UK) Dean of KBTU Business School Ewan Simpson, MA, MSc, PhD is from Scotland.
