– I praise NHH and aspirations for the contents of the action, says The Minister of Trade and Industry, Trond Giske.
Rector Jan I. Haaland, Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH)-Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration stressed that NHH will be the best in Europe with a ten-year, triple action.
– I find it unnecessary that the Norwegian business schools compare themselves with their competitors in Swedish and Danish. Several Norwegian education institutions should set higher goals. It is clear that many Norwegian institutions are to utilize their resources better than they do today, said Trond Giske.
A major challenge
In a year. the industry committee worked in secrecy to get the action in place. The committee consists of Kreutzer, Secretary Elisabeth Berge of Petroleum and Energy, Helge Lund, Statoil's chief executive, Erik Mamelund, managing director of Ernst & Young, Katherine Trovik, division director of DnB NOR and Jens Ulltveit-Moe, CEO of UMOE, who are all former students of NHH.
– It is an exciting initiative. Trade and Industry Ministry is ready to finance the five-year investment program, "Crisis, restructuring and growth," "said Giske.
Kreutzer particularly wanted to present the action of the minister, because Giske had made a call for such an approach when he was Minister of Education (2000-2001)
