Successful national development requires well-trained leaders and managers in all areas of society and GBSN believes business schools are uniquely poised to deliver the necessary talent. Through its highly innovative approach to development, which combines international expertise with local know-how, GBSN harnesses the power of networks to tackle the issues of poor human capacity in the developing world. This is accomplished by organizing collaborative professional activities between faculty from top global business schools and local faculty, while strengthening links between local management schools, the private sector, and international organizations. These relationships form a hub for the creation of new ideas and the dissemination of knowledge, engaging GBSN and its network members in all aspects of business and management education.
