Institute for Business in Society

What We Do

Through a four-part effort that incorporates conferences, cases, courses and research, IBiS helps business leaders anticipate and address the crises inevitably produced when business and society diverge. It articulates the fundamental forces — within industries and across different regions of the world — that govern this relationship. And it equips corporate leaders with the understanding and the strategies that they need to realign business and society productively.
