Our philosophy: Service first.

Unique customer-focus, relevant research, strong executive involvement, and inspiring teaching make ISS the Leading International Business School of Service Management that drives service leadership careers and profitable growth with services.

Service means combining at least two components to form a unit – in most cases a complex solution which provides added value for all partners: Value-Added Services. These components not only represent values like experience, innovation, tradition and creativity. They also symbolise the interaction and relationship between customer and Service provider – meeting needs with the right solutions – and the close match between Service demand and Service offer.

There are aIways at least two parts which join to create a whole which is more powerful and stable than one part alone. "Achieving more together" is the philosophy of the ISS: Interdisciplinary, international, intercultural, innovative and future-oriented. This philosophy is also exPressed by the ISS logo – its different parts interlock to form a whole, symbolised by the globe.
