Strathmore Business School will join the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM), to become the first school to join the network in East Africa. GNAM is a network of leading business schools that is focused on educating global leaders.
Strathmore joins other business schools that recently joined the network such as SDA Bocconi School of SDA Bocconi School of Management, Bocconi University, in Milan, Italy and UNSW Business School in Sydney, Australia. The network consists of 32 schools on 6 continents.
“The network is a commitment by Yale Business School to Strathmore Business School students to pursue a Masters in Advanced Management (MAM), a 9-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,” the media release states.
The Global Network takes advantage of network efficiencies, new technologies, developing strong institutional and personal relationships, and operating with minimal bureaucracy to transform students and member schools.
“It is a pleasure and honour 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.
Every member school brings in unique academic strengths and perspectives for the benefit of all participants. The new Global Network members illustrate geographical expansion and a strategic advancement for the network. SDA Bocconi School of Management offers students a gateway to manufacturing, design, and fashion industries in Italy while UNSW Business School offers students across the Global Network a gateway to Australia’s record-breaking economic growth and opportunities in the 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.
