Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) will host the Deans and Directors of top 28 global management schools that are part of the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM), in Bengaluru from November 15-17.
The meet will see deans and directors of the world’s top management schools discuss what increased connectivity between different countries means for businesses and organisations across sectors.
Sushil Vachani, Director of IIM Bangalore, said: “We are excited to host the Deans’ meeting of prestigious GNAM in India. Our affiliation with the GNAM is central to our strategy to provide IIMB’s students with a rich global perspective and enable our faculty to collaborate on research and teaching programs with peers at management schools across the globe.”
The Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) is a network of management schools globally, convened by the Yale School of Management. The University of California Berkeley’s Haas School of Business has recently become the 28th member of GNAM.
Berkeley-Haas is the second US-based business school to join the global network and brings unique depth in innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology, as well as a close connection with Silicon Valley. Last year, IIMB strengthened its network with international organisations like GNAM. Sourav Mukherji, Dean of Programs, IIMB, recently taught a course from Bengaluru that was beamed to students around the world as part of the GNAM.
“This was a unique experience – teaching students from multiple countries across different time zones. There was a young mother from Guatemala, who was looking after her child while attending the class, while another student from China was logging into my class through his mobile phone, while sitting in a high-speed train,” said Mukherji.
IIMB students participate in Global Network Weeks, thus getting the opportunity to pursue intensive study at another network school, in a focused mini-course that leverages the perspectives, programmes, and faculty expertise of that school.
Alongside their counterparts from elsewhere in the network, IIMB students attend classes, tour local businesses, and meet with experts focused on current business problems.
