| Abstract | Purpose - This paper aims to understand how an external assessment of resources, activities and performance contributes to continuously develop capabilities for business schools. Design/methodology/approach - The EQUIS accreditation framework is reorganized into a capability-based model for business schools. Next, the case of a business school's experience with EQLTIS is used to identify core-capabilities. Findings - The paper emphasizes three core-capabilities that are strengthened through the EQUIS accreditation process: strategizing, changing and branding. Originality/value - The paper argues that an accreditation process characterized by cyclical assessments and floating standards incorporates the features of a sustainable strategy for continuously developing capabilities within business schools. |
