The UBC Sauder School of Business, as the sole Canadian representative in the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM), offers its students unparalleled global learning experiences. This alliance, consisting of 32 graduate schools worldwide, facilitates travel to international universities, immersive online courses, and interactions with MBA peers across the globe.
GNAM’s offerings range from Dual Degrees with the Yale School of Management to intensive week-long courses at international partner institutions. Dean Darren Dahl underscores that such international exposure not only expands learning horizons but also boosts creativity, empathy, and motivation.
UBC Sauder’s association with GNAM enhances its international repute, bolstering its recognition as a top-tier business school. Furthermore, being the only Canadian school in GNAM amplifies UBC Sauder’s global significance.
GNAM serves as an avenue for innovation, granting UBC Sauder faculty access to avant-garde expertise beyond Canada. Insights from other schools, like the use of ChatGPT for augmented learning, are notable takeaways from the network.
In May 2023, UBC Sauder played host to the 23rd Global Network Deans and Directors Meeting, emphasizing the business schools’ roles in societal issues such as Indigenous reconciliation and the opioid crisis. Jörg Rocholl, of ESMT Berlin, lauded the network for facilitating a diverse exchange of views, emphasizing the enriching Canadian perspective UBC Sauder brought to the table.
With GNAM’s horizon expanding, UBC Sauder anticipates a proliferation of opportunities. Member schools are proactively broadening GNAM’s scope to better serve undergraduate and graduate students while also enhancing executive education and career services.
