Epilogue

How can RSM demonstrate it is making good progress in its mission to be a force for positive change, and if it is making a meaningful impact on society? Monitoring and assessing our impact effectively and accurately over a longer period of time is the way forward. However, doing so is a challenge, not just for RSM but also for business schools everywhere.
