Alberta: ethical leadership, entrepreneurship, and energy.
As researchers, our mission is “to create knowledge
through basic and applied research in business disciplines
and related fields, when possible capitalizing on the
natural advantages of our location” in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada. Furthermore, this knowledge will transfer to our
students and we will “provide innovative programs and
rich experiential, research-based learning opportunities,
so that our students learn teamwork, problem-solving,
critical thinking, effective communication, and a spirit of
community service. In this way we all contribute value to
our organizations and society at large.”
