TIAS School for Business and Society is a graduate business school located in Tilburg, Netherlands, offering MBA, executive education and master's programs that connect management practice with societal challenges. The school emphasizes leadership, innovation and sustainability and interacts with European, global and regional institutions to shape executive development.
TIAS emerged from mergers and reorganizations involving Tilburg University, Erasmus University Rotterdam connections and historical ties to Dutch corporate networks, reflecting influences from Copenhagen Business School, INSEAD, London Business School, HEC Paris and IESE Business School models. Early phases referenced governance ideas associated with Max Weber, corporate strategy debates involving Michael Porter, and management practices discussed at forums like the World Economic Forum and events such as the European Business Summit. Over decades the school adapted to accreditation trends led by agencies such as AMBA, EQUIS, and AACSB, while participating in collaborative initiatives with University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, BI Norwegian Business School and networks including EFMD and CEEMAN.

Curriculum components draw on frameworks from scholars like Peter Drucker, Henry Mintzberg, Clayton Christensen, Thomas Kuhn and Daniel Kahneman, and include modules linked to case methods used at Harvard Business School and simulations originating in work by Richard Thaler and Robert Shiller. Executive Education tracks mirror programmes developed at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Yale School of Management, Georgetown University, and Cornell SC Johnson College of Business for leadership, strategy, finance and sustainability.
