Abstract

Mission-driven Business Schools are typically church-related, where core elements of the respective confession can be catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, Bohemian Brothers or Moravian Brothers as in the case of Ashland University. The University of Erfurt in contrast, although a mediaeval university first founded in 1389 – Luther studied and taught there – is now a secular university. It does not have a Business School, rather the unique faculty school of the science of the state, integrating economics, law and the other social sciences. This is its particular mission, which drives its curriculum development and other policies. This paper explores how mission-driven schools behave differently from conventional ones.
