Global uncertainty and rapid change

In a world marked by rapid change and profound global challenges, the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) aims to play a leading role in developing knowledge and expertise. Based on our Nordic values, NHH will represent quality, relevance and responsibility wherever challenges and opportunities arise.

• Elaboration

  Elaboration

  The most significant driver for NHH and other international business schools is technological change, particularly developments in artificial intelligence (AI). AI is not just one technological trend among many, but a profound structural shift impacting every aspect of higher education – from teaching and assessment to research, dissemination, administration, competition and the graduate labour market. New technology is reshaping NHH’s competitive landscape by lowering the threshold for alternative education providers and fragmented learning pathways. The combination of self-study and AI tools is increasingly becoming a real substitute for parts of traditional teaching. This challenges the role of education in society and makes it necessary to clarify what an NHH degree represents. The value must increasingly rest on competencies that cannot be automated: academic judgment, ethical reflection, social learning, structured progression and strong academic and professional communities. AI necessitates alternative and quality-assured forms of assessment, while also opening up new pedagogical opportunities through more individualised and student-active learning. AI is reshaping the skills requirements in the labour market, putting the traditional entry-level roles for economics graduates under pressure.

  At the same time, sustainability, the green transition and responsible value creation are more important than ever. Students, employers and society increasingly demand a combination of business acumen, technological insight and analytical skills, alongside sustainability, responsibility and societal impact. This underscores the need for NHH’s study programmes to cultivate both a strong academic foundation and capacities for critical thinking, sound judgment and continuous learning. It also places greater demands on education to stay relevant and continually innovative.

  The international political landscape is also changing. Greater geopolitical uncertainty, tighter migration and visa rules, and new tuition fees for non-EEA students are limiting international student mobility and increasing competition for talent. At the same time, political changes in other countries open up new opportunities as students seek stable, English-language alternatives in Europe. At the same time, political and financial frameworks are tightening nationally and internationally, with increased emphasis on societal relevance, accountability and alternative funding. Global trends are also posing new challenges and roles for educational institutions in total defence, security and emergency preparedness. In addition to safeguarding their own security, business schools like NHH must help develop relevant knowledge for total defence.

  Demographic and societal shifts represent another key global driver. Declining birth rates and the increasing demand for lifelong learning are transforming both the student recruitment base and expectations regarding the role of education. As the half-life of knowledge shortens due to technological change, continuing education and the capacity for lifelong learning become increasingly important.

  Together, these drivers create a strategic landscape in which NHH must not only adapt to rapid changes but also take a leadership role in defining what higher education is, how it is delivered and the value it should create for individuals and society.

our Mission statement

Together for sustainable value creation.

Purpose and vision

NHH will be a driving force for development in business and society, and will produce graduates who contribute to sustainable value creation. NHH aims to be a top European business school that leads the way in the development and dissemination of expertise.

• Elaboration of purpose and vision

  Elaboration of purpose and vision

  Sustainable development can be defined as a development path that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability has three interdependent components: climate and natural resources, social conditions and the economy.

  At NHH, sustainability challenges will be addressed in our research and dissemination; they will permeate our study programmes and be incorporated into the operation of our school. The breadth of the term sustainable is illustrated and explained in detail in the UN’s 17 global Sustainable Development Goals. NHH’s core activities will encompass a broad range of topics addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals. As a business school, NHH will have a particular focus on technological innovation, restructuring and policies that facilitate sustainable value creation and inclusive growth.

  NHH aims to be a top European business school. We will deliver education, research and dissemination at a high international level, while maintaining unique insight into Norwegian and Nordic contexts. This expertise will be combined with research-based knowledge of a high international standard. We will be the preferred business education in Norway, attracting the best students from across the country and internationally. We will employ outstanding staff with strong international ambitions. NHH will be characterised by a compact, vibrant campus and close relationships between students and staff across the organisation.

  NHH takes its social responsibility very seriously. NHH’s education programmes, research and dissemination will contribute to achieving the sectoral goals defined by the government. This includes the quality and accessibility of education, skills and research, increased Norwegian competitiveness, as well as the realisation of sustainable societal development, technological innovation and welfare. Our national and international ambitions will be harmonised and mutually reinforcing.

  NHH aims to be in the international top class in its field. This requires systematic efforts to achieve continuing quality development and professional development, the ability to attract excellent students and staff, and the development of an experimental, inclusive, quality-conscious and action-oriented organisation. Internationally recognised accreditations will ensure a comprehensive and rigorous quality assessment of the business school. The accreditations together with NHH’s participation in the CEMS alliance and the ENGAGE.EU network, help to raise NHH’s profile as a top European and international business school.

values

Quality, relevance and high ethical standards will underpin all activities at NHH. Students, staff and alumni are engaged, open and ambitious and passionate about creating positive change in society. 

• Elaboration of values

  Elaboration of values

  NHH has a strong culture of quality. It expects all operations to uphold high standards and every individual to contribute to maintaining them. This means that its research, teaching and dissemination is relevant and of a high academic standard and that the administrative processes are efficient and characterised by a high level of expertise and professionalism.

  Everyone at NHH shall promote and maintain high ethical standards. NHH’s activities will be based on the principle of free and independent research. Academic freedom will be exercised within ethical limits and in a manner that serves the interests of the discipline, NHH and society as a whole. The school’s organisational culture and learning and working environment will be experimental and inclusive, and the organisation will be characterised by the ability and willingness to advance NHH’s common goals and ambitions.

  The value of being engaged is about identifying with the institution, contributing to a high level of activity and playing an active part in the life of the community, both on campus and by making positive contributions to society.

  The value of being open reflects a number of qualities that characterise members of the NHH community:

  • that we are intellectually open and curious
  • that we are inclusive and treat others with respect
  • that we have an international focus
  • that we value diversity
  • that we communicate openly, both internally and externally

  The value of being ambitious reflects the fact that individuals set high goals for themselves and for the institution.

Strategic priorities

For the 2026–2029 strategy period, NHH will prioritise four areas that span the entire organisation. These focus areas will ensure that the school lives up to its mission statement – Together for sustainable value creation – and will help achieve NHH’s goals of being an international, leading and relevant European business school that takes its social responsibility very seriously. 

• Application and understanding of artificial intelligence and new technologies

  Application and understanding of artificial intelligence and new technologies

  A comprehensive focus on artificial intelligence (AI) will position NHH as a leader in the application and understanding of AI for decision-making, value creation and efficiency.

  AI will affect all aspects of higher education – from teaching and forms of assessment to research, administration, the competitive landscape and the graduate labour market. AI is not an isolated tool, but a transformative force that affects how knowledge is developed, communicated, assessed and applied.

  NHH will educate graduates for the workforce of the future, with a thorough, integrated understanding of economics, technology (including AI) and sustainability. Graduates will be equipped to handle complexity, restructuring and uncertainty, and be able to engage in continuous learning in a rapidly evolving labour market.

  The 'translator’ role is becoming increasingly important. A critical skill for NHH graduates going forward is the ability to translate unstructured and incomplete data into decision-relevant information, and to convert technological opportunities – especially in AI – into sound, responsible and value-creating decisions in both private and public organisations.

  The stronger the critical thinking, the greater the value created through the use of AI. Effective and responsible use of AI requires analytical judgment, professional expertise and the ability to ask the right questions. Employers will seek strong analytical minds with sound subject knowledge and business acumen – not graduates who only master the technical use of, or prompt-writing for, generative AI.

  New technology increases the need for uniquely human qualities. While analytical skills and critical thinking must be strengthened, skills in communication, creativity, ethics, empathy and collaboration are becoming increasingly important. AI changes the tools we use and the way we work, but not the need for human judgment, responsibility and reflection.

  NHH’s ambition is not to become a leader in technical and technological AI development, but to become a leader in the application and understanding of AI in decision-making, innovation and efficiency in organisations. NHH will provide research insights on the responsible, value-driven and sustainable use of AI in business and government.

  NHH will lead the way in demonstrating how AI and other emerging technologies can contribute to increased value creation through their application in strategy, organisation, decision-making and business models. This involves a greater focus on the responsible, efficient and value-driven application of technology in Norwegian organisations.  

• Competitiveness and value creation

  Competitiveness and value creation

  NHH will contribute to increased competitiveness and value creation in Norway through relevant and innovative research, teaching and dissemination.

  NHH’s mission statement is ‘Together for sustainable value creation’. To give this ambition real strategic substance, the concept of value creation must be emphasised more clearly. Value creation must be understood as more than just the efficient use of resources in the short term: It is about innovation, productivity, adaptability and long-term competitiveness.

  Norway has a documented potential for improvement in innovation and value creation, and lags behind several other Nordic countries on key indicators for productivity, innovation pace and knowledge commercialisation. NHH will adopt a clearer and more cohesive position in sustainable value creation and innovation, across education, research and dissemination. As a national knowledge institution, NHH has a particular responsibility to develop and disseminate research-based insights that can advance socially sustainable development, reduce inequality, promote responsible value creation and facilitate greater innovation and adaptability in both the private and public sectors.

  Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship will gain a more prominent role in education, research and practice-oriented learning. NHH aims to educate graduates who not only understand existing businesses, but who also have the ability to create new ones or drive innovation and change within established organisations.

  NHH will take a more prominent role as an agenda setter in shaping how Norway can achieve value creation amid technological, economic and geopolitical change.

• Knowledge in a global context

  Knowledge in a global context

  NHH will be a leading and internationally oriented business school, where internationalisation is integrated into the entire organisation. By generating new and relevant knowledge of international and geopolitical affairs, NHH aims to increase the knowledge and preparedness of decision-makers in private and public organisations.

  Internationalisation makes NHH more open, innovative and better equipped to meet the challenges of the future. Internationalisation contributes to a diverse learning, research and working environment. Internationalisation also promotes openness, critical reflection, new perspectives, innovation and understanding across cultures. Internationalisation is crucial for ensuring academic excellence, relevance and impact in a global knowledge economy.

  NHH will educate graduates who possess relevant knowledge of how international developments relate to local decision-making. Teaching will be developed and strengthened to enable students to understand and manage risk, uncertainty and strategic trade-offs in a global context. In this way, NHH contributes to building organisational preparedness and resilience in private and public organisations.

  NHH will play a more prominent role in the development of relevant knowledge about international trade, risk management, regulations and global value and supply chains. This can be achieved by strengthening existing research initiatives or facilitating new ones at the intersection of total defence, preparedness, international trade and risk management on one hand, and economics, technology, sustainability and security on the other. NHH will thus help bolster knowledge, trust, and resilience in responding to emerging national and international challenges.

  NHH will further develop and strengthen its position as Norway's most international educational institution. Internationalisation will be integrated across the organisation through student exchanges, the international recruitment of students and staff, strong global networks and research and teaching focused on relevant international knowledge.

  NHH will strengthen and further develop its international partnerships and networks, particularly through CEMS, ENGAGE.EU and strategic research collaborations with leading institutions worldwide. NHH will leverage these networks more actively to develop joint education programmes, research initiatives, mobility opportunities and innovative projects.

  NHH will offer an inclusive, attractive and well-functioning international campus environment. NHH will develop better frameworks for the social, academic and cultural inclusion and integration of international students and staff. This will ensure that campus diversity is increasingly translated into learning, quality, cooperation and community.

• Vibrant campus

  Vibrant campus

  In an increasingly digital world, learning, trust and human interaction are becoming ever more important and valuable. NHH’s physical campus and ecosystem will be a unique academic and social learning environment that fosters collaboration, communication and skills that technology cannot replace. 

  Learning and campus life are among NHH’s most important competitive advantages. Value is created not only in the classroom, but also through the interactions among students, faculty, the student association, the business community, international partners and NHH’s entire network. This holistic learning ecosystem provides a level of quality and depth in education that digital and fragmented learning platforms struggle to match.

  In an AI-driven educational landscape, the human dimension becomes increasingly important. New technology reinforces the importance of social competence, communication skills, cooperation, interdisciplinary understanding, empathy and ethical judgement. NHH is uniquely positioned to develop these skills through a vibrant campus, in close collaboration with the student association and external stakeholders.

  AI enables individualised and personalised learning to a much greater extent than before. The combination of student + AI can enhance preparation, practice and in-depth study, and free up time for more active and dialogue-based teaching. At the same time, the classroom and engaged teachers are essential for developing critical thinking, reflection and ‘Socratic learning’, skills that cannot be automated.

  NHH will place greater emphasis on physical presence and active participation on campus, for both students and staff. This may involve more learning activities that require physical attendance, to ensure that students develop the skills we define as critical for achieving the learning objectives.

  NHH will be a driving force for pedagogical innovation. This involves the continuous development of teaching methods, assessment forms and learning environments that combine the best of physical teaching on campus, digital tools and AI, and that support student-active learning.

  The programmes will be more practice-oriented and aligned with the needs of the labour market. Increased use of case-based teaching, project work in collaboration with organisations and a greater emphasis on internships and practical experience will strengthen the link between theory and application, giving students a better understanding of value creation in practice.

  New alliances and innovative forms of corporate engagement on campus will be developed. The campus will be a meeting place for students, researchers, the business community and public sector actors, where shared challenges, innovation projects and learning activities contribute to both skills development and value creation.

• Organisation and resources

  Organisation and resources

  Main objective

  NHH will have an efficient, agile and strategically oriented organisation that supports high quality, clear relevance to society and a strong international position in education, research and interaction with the business community and society.

  Organisation and resource allocation will strengthen NHH’s academic core, enhance its international competitiveness and ensure the capacity to adapt to technological, economic and geopolitical changes. This requires strong academic environments, robust quality systems, targeted resource management, strategic use of technology and artificial intelligence, robust financial flexibility and long-term investments in infrastructure and campus facilities.

  In line with NHH’s ambition and strategic goal of being an internationally leading research-based institution in economics and business administration, NHH aims to apply for university accreditation during the strategy period.

  Objective 1: Human resources as a strategic core

  NHH's employees are at the core of the institution’s work. High quality, relevance and strong implementation capacity depend on well-functioning collaboration between faculty and administrative staff. Together, employees contribute to realising NHH's ambitions. NHH will therefore place high priority on developing strong academic environments and professional support functions.

  Faculty are crucial to NHH’s academic quality and international impact in research and teaching. NHH will therefore prioritise recruiting and developing a strong, internationally oriented faculty, offering clear and predictable career paths.

  Administrative units play a central role in supporting and further developing NHH’s core activities. Through high professional competence, professional management and efficient collaboration, the administration contributes to quality in education and research, sound governance, streamlined work processes and holistic institutional development.

  NHH will be an attractive and inclusive workplace with strong frameworks for professional development, collaboration and leadership. Diversity, with particular emphasis on gender balance and internationalisation, will be promoted systematically. Systematic leadership development at all levels will strengthen personnel and research management, and NHH’s capacity to implement its strategy.

  Objective 2: Technology and development of the organisation

  NHH will have an organisation characterised by professionalism, cooperation and shared responsibility for the university's development. Effective collaboration between faculty and administrative units will enhance implementation capacity, quality and strategic prioritisation.

  Technological developments and AI provide new opportunities for quality improvement, enhanced decision support and more efficient use of resources. To achieve this, NHH will make targeted investments, develop relevant expertise and ensure clear governance and responsible use of technology that strengthens the institution’s core activities.

  Work processes and decision-making structures will be efficient, expedient and adapted to an increasingly digital reality. Digitalisation and the use of AI will contribute to continuous improvement and free up resources for prioritised tasks.

  Objective 3: Robust financial flexibility and long-term sustainable development

  NHH will maintain robust and predictable financial flexibility that ensures fiscal strength, stability and the capacity for long-term strategic initiatives.

  Greater financial flexibility will be achieved through increased externally funded research, the further development of continuing and executive education and targeted development of new sources of income.

  Long-term financial robustness requires clear priorities, discipline in cost management and the ability to adapt to changing framework conditions. Financial and resource management will be strategic, holistic and long-term. Internal resource allocation will clearly support NHH's prioritised initiatives.

  NHH will continuously work to ensure efficient use of resources and sustainable cost development. Digitalisation and the use of AI will contribute to more efficient work processes, better decision-making and free up resources for the organisation’s core activities.

  OBJECTIVE 4: STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS AND FORWARD-LOOKING INFRASTRUCTURE

  NHH’s buildings, property and infrastructure will be developed as strategic tools to strengthen academic quality and relevance, international attractiveness and long-term competitiveness. The campus will be further
  developed as a vibrant and attractive meeting place for students and staff, where physical interaction, academic exchange and collegial community are central.

  Learning and work spaces will be flexible and adapted to a variety of teaching, collaboration and working methods. The need for increased capacity and a potential campus expansion will be considered as part
