The Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) fosters substantive ties among the world's leading business schools, providing opportunities for faculty to exchange ideas and for students to experience the complexity that will characterize any environment in which they will lead.
Professor Devanath Tirupati, Director In-charge, IIMB, was invited to the Global Network Dean's Meeting on January 11, 2014, where he addressed the Yale School of Management's conference on 'Leadership in an Increasingly Complex World'.
"Growth, over the last 20 years, in India, has created a lot of contradictions in our economy and the leaders of tomorrow need to set-up business in such a space," said Professor Tirupati.
"The Global Network of Advanced Management (GNAM) is making multi-lateral education possible through network courses. The team formation exercises with students of other nationalities are helping them learn. And in turn, we are preparing them for the Indian context also," he added.
The discussion titled 'Preparing Leaders for a Flatter World' consisted of deans and directors from 9 business schools. They included Michael Barzelay, Professor of Public Management & Head of the Department of Management, London School of Economics and Political Science; Nida Bektas, Executive Director, Koç University Graduate School of Business; María de Lourdes Dieck Assad, Dean, EGADE Business School; Kwame A. Domfeh, Dean, University of Ghana Business School; Miriam Erez; Vice Dean, MBA Program/Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management, Technion Israel Institute of Technology; Santiago Iñiguez, Dean, IE Business School; Jiye Mao, Professor and Executive Dean, School of Business, Renmin University of China, and Edward A. Snyder, Dean, Yale School of Management.
What is GNAM?
The Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) fosters substantive ties among the world's leading business schools from both economically strong countries and those on the horizon of economic development, providing opportunities for faculty to exchange ideas and for students to experience the complexity that will characterize any environment in which they will lead.
GNAM connects each member school with diverse regions, countries, and cultures, and economies in different phases of development. The network facilitates interaction, but leaves the development of an agenda to the participating schools.
Network institutions can use the network to exchange ideas, collaborate on data collection, and partner in faculty research that influences the practice of business. The sharing of course materials, including case studies that incorporate specialized regional expertise from member schools, enriches the academic experience for students and faculty at all network organizations.
Students from across schools can engage in project work as part of a global team, and more traditional student and faculty exchanges are also available. Finally, network institutions can nominate high-achieving students in their programs for consideration for the highly selective Master of Advanced Management program at the Yale School of Management.
When was GNAM formed?
On 27 April 2012, twenty-two Global Network Deans and Directors, along with selected faculty and MBA students from the Yale School of Management, formed breakout groups to discuss what leadership challenges face enterprises in the future. Yale University President Richard C. Levin and Vice President and Secretary Linda Lorimer added insightful commentary to the breakout group reports.
Why GNAM?
The impetus for the Global Network for Advanced Management is to establish a structure for far reaching and on-going interactions among those involved. Rather than have a U.S. school ask, "What is the best school in China for us to partner with on a particular program?" or vice versa, the Network starts with altogether different questions:
What are the new areas of economic power and growth in the global economy? What areas of economic power and growth are on the horizon? What leadership challenges face enterprises in the future? How can top talent from the broad horizons of a flatter global economy be accessed, developed, and connected? How can a broad set of business schools work together to address these leadership challenges and enhance leadership development around the globe? With these questions in mind, then strategies and actions follow naturally. In contrast to the partnership model, where the focus is often on "promising tuition markets," the intention of the new approach is to build on a more meaningful definition of global business, to understand the importance of top talent throughout a flatter world, and to leverage the benefits of networks.
