Trust impact on society and business
Marketing Theory

My view: (Please briefly describe your view on the three concepts below)

Education is the foundation of a society that aims at individual social involvement and self-actualization.
Research provides in an intersubjective way the mechanisms to improve life.
Outreach is the dissemination of knowledge to society and, at the same time, the integration of higher education into society.
