Prof. Gordon Shenton, Co-Director BSIS, EFMD GN
“The Faculty of Business and Commercial Sciences at USEK is the first business school in the Middle East region to acquire the BSIS label. We cannot but thank the EFMD GN and FNEGE for the great efforts invested in this regard. Today, measuring the level of contribution that a business school brings to its environment has become unequivocal. The BSIS final report has provided us with clear and detailed analysis pertaining to the impact that our Faculty has on its local and regional community as well as the attractiveness and image of the impact zone. It is from this perspective that we highly encourage all business schools in Lebanon and the region to apply for this service, and take advantage of its remarkable outcomes in order to contribute to the development of the region as a whole.” Nehmé Azoury, Dean, Faculty of Business of Commercial Sciences at the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon.
