Strategic plan
Values:
1. Cooperation
- As we are both the owners and the protagonists of “our own project”, we consider the University to be ours.
- The University should be considered as a whole, in such a way that the progress of each of its separate parts lies in the global development of the University, whereby this progression also generates value for all its different centres.
2. Innovation
- Our approach must be to permanently search for new options in all areas of our achievements, as a necessary condition for progress.
- We must accept change as a necessary and essential part of university life and, as a result of this, encourage our organisations in the search and experimentation of new solutions.
- The continuous advantage is based on human skills, the potential for innovation, the knowledge bases and other services that produce greater demonstrable value for our students, companies and organisations.
3. Participation
- The people at MONDRAGON UNIBERTSITATEA are the only guarantee for the success of our university project and our Faculties and School, which is why we focus on their commitment to participation and integration.
- Participation in the construction of a business is not only a right but also an obligation and a demand for mutual commitment.
- In our “Common Project”, the participation of the working members, collaborating companies and the people that work with us is a permanent competitive advantage.
- The development of participation requires flexible organisational structures and the promotion of mechanisms and communication channels that favour this participation.
4. Social Responsibility
- The internal distribution of wealth created, giving priority to collective interests, is also a guarantee for survival for the institutions, and an expression of solidarity.
- The scope of our activity as a whole extends to the heart of the people who are involved in it, with a notable bearing on the surrounding environment, which we help to improve along with the development of our People.
- Transmitting the know-how and knowledge accumulated, inside and outside of the University, is a way of distributing wealth as an act of solidarity.
5. Social Transformation through the Development of People
- Understanding social transformation as a transformation towards a fairer, more equal and solidarity-oriented society, through the education of people in technical knowledge and skills, abilities and values.
