EBF – The European perspective on management

EBF is an initiative of CEMS (Community of European Management Schools & International Companies) targeted at business executives worldwide. EBF aims to raise the European voice in the international management debate by bringing together business practitioners, academics and advisers.

EBF has received special support from eight member academic institutions: Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Copenhagen Business School, Helsinki School of Economics, RSM Erasmus University, HEC School of Management, ESADE, SDA Bocconi, and Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration.

EBF is neither a traditional business publication nor a conventional academic journal. It is intended to bridge the gap between business and academia. CEMS, as a community of leading academic institutions and multinational companies, has undertaken this project with the aim of creating and disseminating knowledge on global management to intellectually curious business people.

The wealth of cultural backgrounds and the rich thought leadership of the CEMS network, and beyond, offers a unique perspective to the increasingly relevant discussions on international management. CEMS’s ambition is that EBF have three core values: editorial independence, academic rigour and business relevance.
