1 AAPBS Association of Asia-Pacific Business Schools

2 Welcome to the world of Asia-Pacific business education MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT To our Academic, and Executive colleagues: Globalization is a much-used-abused word in the popular press. For businesses globalization implies a complex range of issues: how we do alliances, how we get more competitive, how we gather intelligence, where we do our business, who do we market to. And so on. What is less apparent is that globalization needs a new breed of managerleaders. We normally expect business schools to produce such people, but we also know that the quality varies dramatically. Enter the AAPBS, a coalition of Asia s top 150 business organizations and business schools, from India to Australia - New Zealand to ASEAN to China and Japan. Our primary mission is to advance the quality of business education, through collaboration of sundry players in the business community. By having regular conversations, by sharing resources, the AAPBS seeks to raise the overall quality of the people we produce, by having better education. We invite you to join this coalition, to help us identify best practices and industry needs, and to drive the development of new curriculum and programs. We help in other ways: if you are seeking accreditation with AACSB or EQUIS, or knowledge from other schools, or mentorship or coaching from experienced colleagues, we can provide the pathways and networks. Do join us! We look forward to seeing you in the next AAPBS conference. Thank you.
