We are convinced that an open university and close collaboration with the outside world are good for everyone. That is why we are happy to collaborate with companies, organisations and universities. Experience has taught us that these meetings create great value, both for you personally, your organisation – and for the School of Business and Economics' students and researchers.
You can collaborate with our researchers, teachers and students in the way that suits you. At the School of Business and Economics, projects, internships, degree projects, commissioned training, mentoring or skills development are different opportunities for collaboration.

The Executive MBA in Forest Business Management and nature-based industries is built for leaders who want to confidently navigate a sector undergoing major transformation. The program gives you a clear understanding of emerging risks, advances in modern forestry technologies, shifting market expectations, and increasing sustainability demands, so you can anticipate change rather than react to it.
Our program is designed to help you grow into a responsible leader who can balance operational performance with environmental stewardship and social responsibility. You can strengthen your ability to forecast trends, optimize resource use, build resilient value chains, and guide organizations through strategic, technology-driven, and sustainability-focused transitions.
The Executive MBA is a program that consolidates knowledge by applying it to real scenarios, decision making, and real challenges. It provides first-hand experience of sustainable business models, data literacy culture, and best practices in forest management.
This Executive MBA enables you to become a change maker by leading sustainable innovation, inspiring progress, and shaping the future of forest-based industries.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the focus of the School of Business and Economics' SmålandsNavet initiative, which is funded by the Kamprad Family Foundation. Many companies in different industries are facing challenges, but also great opportunities. We are in a time of major technological changes, globalisation, climate change, demands for new investments and new business models. This will require restructuring, renewal and new skills.
Together we can find the way forward - with the help of rewarding skills development, driven students and curious researchers.
Welcome to explore course activities, future skills, commissioned training, research competence and much more with us. Feel free to take part in our webinars, workshops and events to network/collaborate with like-minded people and experts. Or use BusinessLab as a meeting place for competence development.
Our goal is to be a relevant context where theory and ideas are translated into action, and where action is translated into theory and value creation.
