What We Do
We bring the world’s leading business schools together with businesses, governments, and NGOs in support of a common purpose: to work together to strengthen the contributions of management education to the development needs of society.
Real-World Learning
GBSN delivers experiential learning programs in which students extend their education beyond the classroom, develop valuable professional skills, and build their international network. These programs include competitions, simulations, and training and consulting opportunities that create a pipeline of emerging and future leaders with the knowledge, commitment, and relationships needed to have an impact at the intersection of business and global development.
Shared Discovery
GBSN creates opportunities to discover new insights and connections that empower faculty, leaders, and other stakeholders to have a greater impact. These opportunities include events where participants exchange information and address shared challenges, as well as knowledge-building projects that leverage the network’s collective expertise on the role of business schools in generating prosperity and well-being around the world.
Purpose-Led Collaboration
GBSN provides operational and strategic support for collaborations that leverage the complementary strengths of multiple institutions to meet identified needs in management education and development. Through these collaborations, faculty, leaders, and other stakeholders make sustained contributions and build long-term relationships centered on a particular topic or goal. GBSN is always open to working with members to co-design new initiatives that draw on the breadth, energy, and capacity of the network.
