"As Ireland’s premier business school, UCD Smurfit School is a leader in excellence for rigorous, relevant, business education and research. Our desire for excellence in research is driven by the belief that this is key to ensure that our programmes are transformative - informed by cutting-edge thought-leadership from research and practice - and that the college contributes more widely to business and society through knowledge creation, impact on practice and policy formulation, and support for key sectors of the Irish and global economy.
"As a business school, we are committed to the integration of experiential learning into our curricula. Case studies provide an important vehicle for achieving this, by placing students in real-life decision scenarios which require them to integrate information from multiple sources and make decisions in dynamic environments. We are also committed to the creation of high-quality case materials for a global audience as this process entails a two-way flow between academic thought-leadership and thought-leadership from practice.
"Inclusion in The Case Centre Impact Index underscores our mission of 'Creating a Better World Together' and amplifies the impact our faculty are having in the world of business and beyond. We are proud to be listed amongst the world’s best case-writing Schools as it celebrates our long tradition of research that advances academic and practice debate and pushes the boundaries of knowledge creation and innovation. UCD Smurfit School will continue to be a vibrant nexus of connectivity, flow, and exchange of knowledge and ideas, drawing on Ireland’s location as a gateway to Europe."
