Strathmore Business School has become the first Kenyan business school to join a network of the world’s top universities committed to educating global leaders.
The network dubbed Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) leverages on new technologies, building strong institutional and personal relationships to deliver.

Yale Business School has committed the GNAM to Strathmore Business School students pursuing Masters in Advanced Management (MAM) and aspire to become global leaders in business and society.

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.

“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 George Njenga.

The partnership is also targeted at strengthening the links between the two institutions through the Yale Tsai Centre for Innovative Thinking and Strathmore Africa Data Analytics Centre.

Each member school contributes unique academic strengths and perspectives to the benefit of all participants.

“I warmly welcome our three new Global Network member schools. Support for adding these three standout schools was unanimous,” said Yale School of Management Dean and Global Network chair Edward A. Snyder.
