Vision, Mission, and Core Values

Our vision

Inspired by the Lasallian Guiding Principles and Catholic Social Teachings, we seek to be a leading academic department that integrates faith and management practice through values-based management education and research geared towards promoting integral human development and sustainable value-adding organizations in ASEAN.

Our mission

“We develop reflective change agents for the common good.”

Mission pillars:

1. To create an environment that enables students to discover their authentic selves and take responsibility for their learning through innovative, creative, and collaborative educational approaches.

2. To develop competent, humanistic, nationalistic, and socially responsible business leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs that serve as change agents in society.

3. To provide formal and continuing education and training to interested professionals, not only in business but also in other fields that require management expertise.

4. To advocate humanistic, sustainable, and responsible management practice through research-based writings, collaborative discussions, and service engagements with businesses, government, and civil society.

5. To build a collegial work community that supports each member’s personal and professional growth.

Our core values

As the “heart and soul” of the Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business, we stand by the Lasallian values of Faith, Zeal for Service, and Communion in Mission.
