A core of full-time academic faculty, employed by AMS or shared with the University of Antwerp, form the backbone of the AMS faculty community. In addition, a large number of academics from other universities worldwide and practitioners from business life teach part-time at the School. With their specific expertise and professional experience they provide complete, practice-oriented and scientifically up-to-date management insights. Together they provide a top-quality learning experience for all our participants.
As an excellent management school, we want to remain at the forefront of business innovation and transformation. Thanks to our extensive research team, we stay on top of business science, management and organization. We do this by both creating new knowledge through research and bringing about effective changes together with partners. Thus, our ambition is clear: "Opening minds to impact the world". We do this based on three core values: a global mindset, societal awareness and critical reflection.
Workplace risk factors, such as stress and lack of support, worsen mental health. Managers play a crucial role in prevention but face challenges like stigma and lack of knowledge. This study explores the experiences of managers and employees and offers practical insights to improve workplace mental health.

Widespread societal and economic transformation will be needed to reach a sustainable future. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reflect very well on the global challenges we face. But for many businesses, the SDGs are a topic of discussion rather than a strategic element.
In this white paper Prof. Dr Wayne Visser and Jan Beyne talk about a sustainable strategy needed for businesses to survive.
This white paper is the first of three in the series. With this series, we want to unravel careers in Belgium and the Netherlands and give expression to the different career stories of employees.

How to ensure sustainable employment of your current employees?
Simply investing in recruitment is useless if there is no good foundation to build upon. With Welt, Voka and Antwerp Management School work together with companies to create 'Endless Careers for All Talent' (Welt).

ABIS - The Academy of Business in Society and Antwerp Management School organized the Value Creation Roundtable in January 2021. Numerous leading companies, such as the Port of Antwerp, Johnson & Johnson, ABN AMRO and Value Balancing Alliance, participated.The exchange of their knowledge, competencies and ideas on sustainable transformation and the positive impact between key sustainability actors resulted in a report.
The theme of 'employee participation' is more topical today than ever in management discourse. Organizations are becoming flatter, hierarchical bureaucracies are being phased out, leadership is being more 'shared' and included outside the hierarchy. This also creates expectations towards employees: they need to make their voices heard more and more. Employee participation is thus no longer something purely 'desired', but rather something that is 'required' (Knoll et al., 2016).
In this white paper (in Dutch) we outline the results and analysis, based on a survey of 1598 employees.
Investors are currently obliged to take ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) issues into consideration as part of their fiduciary duty. As such, it becomes increasingly important to identify sustainable investments that hold financial value as well. Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic proved that real estate has a crucial role to play in societal sustainability. In the real estate sector, not much is known about ESG so far. This has a lot to do with the obfuscated conceptualization and diverging measurement of ESG.
In this white paper, we discuss the value of ESG for real estate, both for investors and real estate professionals.
In April 2020, in the midst of a coronary crisis, we launched a survey with organizations on the impact of COVID-19 on their human capital. Nothing led us to believe that, more than a year and 5 surveys later, we would still be researching the impact of the pandemic on work and careers - not only among employers, but also among employees. In this research report, you can read more about our main findings. (in Dutch)
Did you know that companies who invested in innovation during the last financial crisis came out stronger? In this third white paper created within the research project 'The Art of Corporate Venturing', we present various best practices for different forms of startup-corporate-collaborations.
The team we work with is a decisive factor in how we experience our jobs. Therefore, your team is an essential key to a sustainable career. Yet, until now, this has remained underexposed as a context for career development, both in the academic literature and in the career policies of organizations. With this ESF "Innovation through Exploration" project we wanted to explore this further. We developed the LiZeT toolkit with the aim of actively engaging team members in their career development. More specifically, LiZeT helps teams to learn to organize themselves (in Dutch).
