Jönköping University

Jönköping University is comprised of five companies of which JIBS is one. Three of the other companies of education and research are; the School of Engineering, the School of Education and Communication and the School of Health Science.
The fifth company is the University Services, responsible for local supplies, the joint library and the management and services to the Foundation and the four schools.
The foundation is led by the Foundation Board. The Chairman of the Foundation Board is appointed by the Swedish state.

Greater freedom

Unlike the state-owned universities and university colleges, Jönköping University works through agreements with the Swedish state which entail a greater freedom of movement. Stockholm School of Economics, Chalmer's University of Technology and Jönköping University Foundation are together the three sole foundations on academic level in Sweden.
