Strathmore Business School is set to join the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM), a network of top business schools committed to educating global leaders.
The network is a commitment by Yale Business School to Strathmore Business School students to pursue a Masters in Advanced Management (MAM), a nine-month program exclusively designed to exceptional MBA graduates from the Global Network who aspire to become global leaders in business and society.
The partnership is also aimed at strengthening the links between the two universities through the Yale Tsai Centre for Innovative Thinking and Strathmore Africa Data Analytics Centre.
Strathmore joins SDA Bocconi School of Management, Bocconi University, in Milan, Italy and UNSW Business School in Sydney, Australia as recent additions to the network that encompasses 32 schools on six continents.
The Global Network Leverages network efficiencies, using new technologies, building strong institutional and personal relationships, and operating with minimum bureaucracy to have a transformational effect on students and member schools.
“It is a pleasure and honor to join the Global Network for Advanced Management, a network of leading business schools, bridging the worlds of culture and economics through sustainable learning networks,” said Strathmore Business School Dean Dr. George Njenga.
Each member school contributes unique academic strengths and perspectives on the highly interconnected global economy to the benefit of all participants. The three new schools represent not just geographic expansion, but also a strategic advancement for the network as a whole by adding vital connections with the high-tech manufacturing and fashion center of Northern Italy, the fast-moving and fast-growing markets of East Africa, and the increasingly influential Asia Pacific region.
“I warmly welcome our three new Global Network member schools. Support for adding these three standout schools was unanimous. All current members represented at our 12th Deans and Directors Meeting in Hong Kong felt that the three new member schools will enhance the opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and alumni across the network, and we look forward to including them in our programs and initiatives,” said Yale School of Management Dean and Global Network Chair Edward A. Snyder.
SDA Bocconi School of Management, the first Global Network School in Italy, provides its students with the particular enrichment of its location in the heart of Italy’s unparalleled manufacturing, design, and fashion industries and their connections to the global marketplace.
The addition of the research-oriented and tech-rich UNSW Business School provides students across the Global Network with a welcome gateway to Australia’s record-breaking economic growth, as well as to the Asia Pacific region at large.
