Microsimulation Development Lab
Taking you BEYOND the classroom, the Educators Track is designed for scholars, lecturers, trainers, and university faculty across disciplines who want to connect with like-minded colleagues on teaching innovations, research and pedagogy needed serve communities and develop talent the world needs now.
GBSN and Capsim have joined forces to help bring quality and experiential business learning to communities worldwide. Building on our experience from last year, we’re inviting scholars, lecturers, trainers, and academic faculty to design and develop an inbox simulation using current data, research, cases, and personal experiences. As part of the Educators Track for GBSN Beyond, teams of 1-4 will design and build a 15-30 minute inbox simulation experience. These microsimulations will immerse learners in real-world scenarios and evaluate essential skills in a realistic context.
Online Teacher Training
Online teaching itself will evolve in the coming years and faculty will need to rethink many aspects of how they teach and engage with students online. GBSN is pleased to present a certificate program for online teaching. This certificate program is being offered in partnership with the Portulans Institute (a Washington, DC based not-for-profit research institute), Igesia.co (a digital learning education tech company) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
This certificate program has been designed to help faculty make online teaching more effective and efficient. The program will consist of ten live virtual interactive workshops, each hosted by relevant experts addressing key themes.
 Learning Communities
GBSN Learning Communities are cohorts of faculty, students and/or administrators at GBSN member institutions that share common professional and co-curricular experiences, convened around a common subject, a research goal, theme, challenge or a series of larger questions. GBSN Learning Communities bring together scholars and business practitioners to address management and entrepreneurship challenges, creating knowledge, experiences, and relationships.

GBSN experiences include competitions competitions, company projects, simulations, and Global Treks, which are signature GBSN travel programs.
Career Development and Training
All students from GBSN member institutions have complimentary membership to the Localized platform. Localized partners with schools, organizations, companies and accelerators to connect young professionals with experts and employers looking for talent. While talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.
Localized builds virtual career community on a global scale.
The HUMLOG Challenge
In partnership with the Hanken Schools of Economics’ HUMLOG Institute, the Learners Track features The HUMLOG Challenge, an international virtual competition, focused on developing local solutions to problems related to humanitarian logistics.
This year, The HUMLOG Challenge focuses on Community Disaster Resilience. The Covid-19 pandemic has tested communities across the world on preparedness and resilience. Major hazards such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, droughts, and landslides, among others, constantly threaten the livelihoods of the most vulnerable populations across the world. In the context of accelerated climate change and population growth, the current trend of frequent major disasters is expected to increase. To mitigate this trend, increased Disaster Resilience and Community Preparedness is essential to reduce the potential impact of humanitarian crises on the poorest communities who are disproportionately affected by these disasters.
Student Competitions
GBSN Student Competitions are designed to develop valuable knowledge and skills that are relevant to international development and emerging economies. Student Competitions are just one of a set of student centered learning experiences that include, company projects, simulations, etc.

GBSN Impact Communities are cohorts of faculty, students and/or administrators at GBSN member institutions that share common professional and co-curricular experiences, convened around a common subject, a research goal, theme, challenge or a series of larger questions.
GBSN Impact Communities bring together scholars and business practitioners to address management and entrepreneurship challenges, creating knowledge, experiences, and relationships.
Objectives:
- Exchange best practices and knowledge
- Share resources
- Facilitate collective action for sustainable development
GBSN works with each community to structure clear desired outcomes, goals, activities, resources and readings, etc. Each Impact Community is led by a group of GBSN member schools with expertise in the specific topic. Through the GBSN platform, these groups are able to amplify cooperation and engagement around the specific topic by expanding international peer to peer sharing, enhancing effectiveness, and improving impact.
Business schools offer the ideal venue to explore 21st century human rights challenges, both in teaching future business leaders and conducting cutting-edge research. Adding human rights to the business school curriculum provides an exciting opportunity for new forms of collaboration.
EiR programs are a vital part of entrepreneurship education as they support teaching, encourage creation and sharing of best practices, and promote more opportunities for research. The Global Business School Network, in partnership with Lancaster University Management School (LUMS), launched an impact community of entrepreneur in residence (EiR) programs. This impact community will work to amplify these benefits of EiR programs by expanding international peer to peer sharing, enhancing the effectiveness, and improving the impact of EiR programs. Through this community, schools with existing EiR programs will work together to publish monthly articles and create exchange opportunities within the network.
With growing pressure for companies to be more sustainable, future leaders will need to understand ways in which entire systems interrelate and have an impact on entire value chains if they are to effectively respond to resource limitations and climate change. In addition, there is growing pressure from students for sustainability to be incorporated into business courses. This has led to an overall trend to embed sustainability into the ethos of teaching in business schools. While the movement towards greater integration of sustainability into the fundamentals of business education is advancing, there is significant progress that still needs to be made.

Global integration, political uncertainty and growing inequality have increased public scrutiny of business operations. Business schools need to better prepare future leaders for the challenges of this modern global business environment. They also need to demonstrate that the values and principles of their education are aligned with public expectations that business contribute to a fair and prosperous global economy.
This will require moving beyond dedicated business ethics or corporate social responsibility classes to a model that incorporates social considerations into the core of business curricula. This group of over 40 business schools around the world work together to realize this vision.
GBSN and Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative of the UN Global Compact have joined forces to support the efforts of the GBSN for Business and Human Rights (BHR). The BHR was founded in 2017 by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, the Geneva School for Economics and Management, and the Alliance Manchester Business School. The BHR network currently comprises over 40 business schools that come together annually to discuss how to advance human rights in business education.
