EFMD offers a range of development systems to aid business schools to improve their quality:

Through accreditation of whole schools (EQUIS) or

Through accreditation of individual programmes (EPAS) or

Through evaluation and guidance by mentoring (EDAF)

The three systems are linked in order to help schools move from one stage to another. The EPAS and EDAF systems include, if e ui ed, a gap a alysis to e a le s hools to assess hat

improvements are required to achieve the next stage of accreditation.

EQUIS Differentiating Factors (1)

Institutional Assessment

Whole School assessment: all programmes, research and other activities

Degree or non-degree programmes, including executive education

Linked to both academic and corporate needs

Involves both academic and corporate stakeholders at all levels

Balance between academic and professional skills

Emphasis on personal development

Corporate links: key criterion

Importance of strategy and governance

Participation of experienced Deans in Peer Review Teams

Page 14: Tne qa presentation efmd

www.efmd.org

EQUIS Differentiating Factors (2)

Internationalisation as a key criterion

Of quality standards

Of reputation

Of the School culture

EQUIS managed by international team

Focus on diversity

Less normative in general but especially on

Curriculum structure and content

Faculty composition and deployment

Random audit vs. exhaustive audit

Consultants rather than auditors

Quality criteria in 10 areas

Page 15: Tne qa presentation efmd

EQUIS Framework

What is EPAS?

Launched in June 2005 to satisfy the demand for an international programme accreditation scheme

High quality degree programmes

Strong international perspective

Partially motivated by the implementation of the Bologna reforms in Europe

Institutions often need guidance in times of reform and turmoil

Markets need transparency to aid vertical student mobility

Contemplate diversity effectively while not compromising expected level of quality

To provide:

Rigorous, thorough and detailed assessment

International recognition and effectiveness

Page 17: Tne qa presentation efmd

EPAS Target Market

EPAS Target Market:

Premium programmes with credible internationalisation, strong corporate links, convincing academic rigour and well-functioning quality assurance offered by

1. high-profile institutions with excellent flagship programmes

2. institutions on a credible path towards institutional

accreditation

3. institutions structurally not qualifying for EQUIS (eg faculty too

small)

4. non-Business Schools offering management-related

programmes (eg Schools of Public Management, Schools of

Law, Schools of Public Health)

EDAF: EFMD Deans Across Frontiers

Adding Value through Partnership

Page 20: Tne qa presentation efmd

www.efmd.org

The Need for EDAF

All countries need effective management in their businesses, public

se to s a d NGO’s a d U i e sity le el i stitutio s a e ofte a ajo source of future managers through management development

programmes.

BUT many Business Schools (BS), especially in less developed countries,

have a shortage of expertise and resources, e.g. faculty, learning

environment, students unable to pay significant fees, etc.

ALSO many BS lack knowledge of international BS standards and may not

know how to improve their School. Also their Deans may have difficulty in

accessing international expertise.

HOWEVER EFMD has an enormously valuable network of excellent BS,

Deans and senior BS staff – many of them have shown an interest in

working across frontiers to help less privileged schools.

HENCE the idea of EDAF

Page 21: Tne qa presentation efmd

www.efmd.org

Quality Improvement through Accreditation

There are about 13 000 BS in the world and this number is likely

to rise – but less than 10 % hold accreditation and receive

a quality improvement service.

Existing accreditation systems include, for example

EFMD: EQUIS, EPAS, CEL

AACSB

AMBA

But EFMD can contribute more widely to global welfare by

helping to improve Business Schools (wherever they be) and

hence society through EFMD Deans across Frontiers (EDAF).

Page 22: Tne qa presentation efmd

www.efmd.org

Meeting the Need through EDAF

EDAF is a facilitating process to pass on the knowledge of

members of the EFMD network to other schools and to make

partnerships.

Evaluating the current state of the School against agreed

criteria, followed by advisory mentoring, is the core of the EDAF

process.

BUT EDAF is not itself an accreditation system, although it could

be used to prepare schools for an accreditation such as EQUIS

or EPAS by gap analysis.
