In March 2018, JIBS was awarded a 5-year EQUIS accreditation. Recent assessments of research productivity and impact rank JIBS first in Sweden in business administration and economics and first in Europe and second in the world in entrepreneurship. JIBS' guiding principles are international at heart, entrepreneurial in mind and responsible in action, and our mission is to advance the theory and practice of business, with specific focus on entrepreneurship, ownership, and renewal.
At JIBS, we have the following research centres: Centre for Entrepreneurship and Spatial Economics (CEnSE), Centre for Family Enterprise and Ownership (CeFEO), and the Media, Management and Transformation Centre (MMTC).
