Edit Request

@Justlettersandnumbers: Thank you for the feedback! After reviewing your feedback I can see why some of the proposed edits could be seen as native advertising. There are a few edits however, such as edits 4 and 6, that I believe are objective and sourced. If we were only to submit edits 4 and 6 with their sources, would they be accepted? We're not connected to the COI problems on this page from the past, and want to make sure we're going through the right protocol to abide by Wikipedia's standards. Thanks!

  • Upfront and Infobox

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, also known as AACSB International, is a non-profit professional association with three offices worldwide. AACSB’s global headquarters is in Tampa, Fla.;[1] its Europe, Middle East, and Africa headquarters is in Amsterdam;[2] and its Asia Pacific headquarters is in Singapore.[3] In its early years, AACSB was primarily regarded as an accrediting body[4], however in April 2017 the organization expanded its mission to assume the role as an industry-wide global connector[5] between the business education and business communities.

Formerly known as the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, AACSB was founded in 1916 to accredit schools of business. Today, it is the world’s largest[6] global business education association[7] serving over 1,600 members – including academic institutions, businesses, NGOs and public sector organizations. According to BusinessBecause, AACSB is a benchmark for business school quality among the academic community.[8][9][10]

From its start in the U.S. over a century ago, AACSB has expanded to 100 countries worldwide.[11] Primary activities include accreditation, industry research, thought leadership, professional development, and advocacy on behalf of the business education industry.[12][13][14]

  • Accreditation

AACSB offers two types of accreditation: business and accounting. In order to earn and sustain business accreditation, a school must align with 15 Accreditation Standards.[15] Business accreditation covers degree programs offered at the undergraduate or graduate level within business schools.

To achieve accounting accreditation, an institution must first earn business accreditation and then fulfill standards specific to the discipline and profession of accounting.[16][17] The standards are developed in collaboration with, and feedback from representatives from the business education community.[18]

Alumni of AACSB-accredited schools include 96% of the chief executives on the 2016 Financial Times’ “From MBA to CEO”.[19] AACSB accreditation is a qualifying criteria for inclusion in some business school rankings publications, and 90% of The Economist’s 2016 top 100 full-time MBA programs are housed in business schools that have earned AACSB accreditation.[20]

  • History

The organization was founded in 1916 as the Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (ACSB) by a group of seventeen American universities and colleges.[21] Since then, the organization has changed its name three times:[22]

  • American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 1925
  • AACSB—The International Association for Management Education in 1997
  • AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business in 2001

The first accreditations took place in 1919 and for many years, only North American business schools were accredited by AACSB.[23][24] The first school outside of the United States to be accredited by AACSB was the University of Alberta in 1968[25] and the first school outside North America to be accredited was the grande école French business school ESSEC, in 1997.[26][27] In 2009, AACSB opened its first regional headquarters for Asia-Pacific in Singapore[3] and in 2014, AACSB opened its second regional headquarters for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (EMEA) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[2]

In 2017, AACSB rebranded the organization and formally established The Business Education Alliance,[5] which represents all AACSB members, accredited and non-accredited institutions, as well as business organizations.[28][29]

  1. ^ The information on the various headquarters will be placed in the infobox. Listing the different locations need not be done in the lead.
  2. ^ The label "industry-wide global connector" is not readily recognizable as a term. This ought to be clarified exactly what it means.
  3. ^ The asked-for changes in this section of the edit request are already in the article.
  4. ^ This is described in the source not as the "worlds largest global business education association", but rather, as "The largest global business schools accreditation body." These two descriptions are not necessarily identical in meaning. Addiotionally, the number of 1,600 for "membership" was appended to the infobox. However, a quantify inline maintenance template was affixed to it, as this number does not specify whether it pertains to the number of people or groups of people. It is my guess that the infobox parameter's original intent for membership is as it pertains to the former, as opposed to the latter.
  5. ^ Two of these sources are unknown, and the third source does not list a page number where the information is located. In any event, the word benchmark is a term which may appear ambiguous and/or uncertain as to meaning.
  6. ^ The sentence as it is worded now is too verbose. Essentially, what was once an accreditation service has branched out to offer other business-related activities all centering on the pedagogy of businesses. This would be a more succinct way to describe the business without introducing unneccesary prose. (See WP:FLOWERY.)
  7. ^ Each one of these two sentences merely repeats what the other sentence says, and is redundant. Only one should be included in the article.
  8. ^ This statement makes the claim that Business accreditation "covers" degree programs, but does not specify what "covers" means.
  9. ^ The information in this sections states that there is no set rubric with which to gauge accreditation for accounting. The standards are developed "in collaboration" with many other various people in the "business education community." Thus, as a description of what accounting accreditation requires or offers, the explanation leaves a lot to be desired.
  10. ^ This statement is too broad reaching to be referenced by any one source.
  11. ^ Stating that the designation is a qualifying criteria in "some business school rankings publications" is vague.
  12. ^ it is unclear here, what it means to be "housed" in a business school.
  13. ^ The asked-for changes in this section of the edit request are already in the article.
  14. ^ There is a parameter in the infobox meant for the placement of former names.
  15. ^ The asked-for changes in this section of the edit request are already in the article. Please note that areas where the references have changed but the text has not, will not be replaced with newer references unless specifically singled out as needing replacement, by indicating each reference location.
  16. ^ This information is already addressed by Note #1.
  17. ^ This claim statement is vague, and needs clarification as to its importance. Additionally, the sentence contains a non sequitur ("The Business Education Alliance which represents....business organizations") The fact that this is a business organization representing a business organization does not clarify the meaning.
