CONTRIBUTION
The Lucerne School of Business develops people and organisations, in particular in Central Switzerland, but also nationally and internationally. Its services are aligned with the current and future needs of its partners from the business and research communities, as well as from society generally.
ACTIVITY
The School's mandate covers degree programmes, continuing and executive education, and research and consultancy services. Its degree and continuing and executive education programmes provide professionally oriented qualifications and are research-based; its research is application oriented, competitive and open to experimentation; its services are fit for the market, implementation oriented and based on research.
PEOPLE
Students and employees appreciate learning and working at the University. Ambitious goals are met thanks to pragmatic cooperation in and between manageably sized units. Students and employees act responsibly as a team; they are inquisitive, precise and self-reflecting.
In 2021, the Lucerne School of Business celebrated its 50th anniversary. On the website developed for the anniversary, contemporary witnesses talk about the beginnings in the 1970s and the development in the service areas to date.
From 26 to over 2,500 students in 50 years: The history of the Lucerne School of Business is characterized by rapid growth, innovation and close cooperation with companies and institutions. It all began in 1971 with the founding of the “Lucerne School of Business and Administration (HWV)”. After the merger to form the University of Applied Sciences of Central Switzerland in 1997, the institution was known as the “Lucerne School of Business (HSW)” for ten years, and the “Lucerne School of Business” brand has been established since 2007.
During these 50 years, many people have been important to the institution: Employees, students, continuing education participants and partners in companies, institutions and associations. The support, trust and commitment of many have shaped the development of the Lucerne School of Business and, conversely, the institution has shaped numerous biographies and organizations.
The history of the Lucerne School of Business is therefore a history of the people who are or have been associated with it.
In addition to the anniversary website, a commemorative publication and a publication with key figures on education were produced to mark the anniversary of the Lucerne School of Business, providing insights into the educational biographies of its graduates.
