Andrew Beer: [0:15] An innovative business school is one that changes with the times, and not only responds to changing conditions, but also shapes that agenda. It looks always to approach the horizon in a positive way and produce the best outcomes for students and its other stakeholders, whether it's in research or in industry or the university as a whole.

Joseph Franch: [0:37] An innovative business school is a school that tries to reinvent itself continuously. The world is spinning faster than ever, and we have to catch up with those changes.

[2:07] You've got business students who have a business idea, but they don't really have the creativity to be able to take that to the market. We've got students from creative arts who come and, basically, help with that.
