The School’s faculty members, students, partners and administrators employ the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct in a team-based environment of business education delivery. Our operating philosophy is underpinned by the following core values:

• Leadership

• Integrity & Transparency

• Trust

• Life-Long Learning

• Critical Thinking

• Relevance

• Innovation

• Academic & Professional Excellence

• Pro-Active Customer Orientation

These values, in a nutshell, describe who we are, how we treat one another and the way we conduct ourselves. In so doing we are committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and expect our faculty and students to exhibit exemplary behavior in this regard. 

As indicated in our mission, ethics permeates all we do and impart to our students. To this end, OSB has pioneered the promotion of ethics & corporate social responsibility awareness in the region through several faculty and student driven initiatives and programs, the most notable of which are:

• The OSB Corporate Governance Program. This unique regional initiative serves as an incubator for examining and advancing the notion that corporations can and should serve society.  The program provides active support for research in corporate governance and disseminates its work to the region’s academic, policy-making and professional communities. The objective is to promote organizational reform for greater corporate transparency and accountability in the Middle East region. Working together with government officials, regulators, and members of associations and groups active in corporate governance, the program explores avenues for better governance practices and the adoption thereof. The program advances its purpose by:

  • Hosting conferences, roundtables, and workshop
  • Sponsoring empirical research and teaching
  • Generating think tank reports relevant to policymaking

• Bisharaf.org. Bisharaf is the first-ever Lebanese initiative on academic integrity & business ethics aimed at promoting academic integrity and ethical awareness among students, faculty, administrators, and business professionals at the grass roots level.
