A team of six MBA candidates from the Thunderbird School of Global Management worked with Guy Pfeffermann and Nora Brown to identify ways that GBSN could further their mission of developing management education capacity in developing nations. Findings from their report will be utilized to improve the reach of GBSN's network of member schools, as well as part of ongoing capacity-building projects.
