The full Global Business School Network consists of members, participants, and partners. The world’s leading business schools have always formed the core of the GBSN and the majority of membership.

However, the network includes many different kinds of organizations, including business partners that share a common vision, for the developing world to have the talent it needs to generate prosperity. Through GBSN, business schools are connected with each other, and also with business, governments, and NGOs working together to improve access to quality, locally relevant management and entrepreneurship education.
