Mission Statement
We pursue and share knowledge of business, economics and management, develop human capability and provide our New Zealand stakeholders with a global perspective.
How We Interpret our Mission
Pursuing knowledge: Research is a core function of a University. Our programmes are informed by research and scholarship, and involve staff who are active in basic research, applied research or industry engagement.
Sharing knowledge: Our research and scholarship provide a store of knowledge and skills that we disseminate through academic publication, teaching, public comment, applied research and consulting.
Business, Economics and Management: From our capital city location we research and teach to meet the needs of the academic, commercial, government and not-for-profit sectors, while also encouraging our best students to consider research degrees or academic careers.
Global Perspective: We play a distinctive role in connecting New Zealand to the world, through international linkages in research, learning and scholarship, and through the diversity of our staff and student body.
Stakeholders: We engage with the international community of scholars and create high quality educational outcomes for New Zealand and Pasifika students. Our research, teaching and scholarship support and extend the capabilities of employers, business and government agencies, particularly in the Wellington region.
We respect the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and encourage and support achievement by Māori students.
