An Inter-disciplinary Global Platform
Over the years, CKGSB has expanded its inter-disciplinary global platform through innovative collaborations and program offerings.
Driving Two-way Traffic in Business Education
Since our inception, CKGSB has served as a pioneer among business schools in fostering two-way traffic of knowledge between the East and the West.
Raising Globally-minded Chinese Business Leaders
We collaborate with other world-class institutions to offer our Chinese business students—comprised of established business leaders and rising economic disruptors—a truly global experience. Our network of 40+ top international universities - from Cornell University and UC Berkeley in the U.S. to IE University in Spain, to Seoul National University in South Korea, to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel –
provides our students with a range of opportunities to learn and succeed in other markets. We also take our students on international study trips to various countries in Asia, Americas, Europe and Africa to gain first-hand experience learning from globally-renowned companies and organizations like Google, Apple, Nvidia, Morgan Stanley, and BMW.

CKGSB and Global Partners
Our global partnerships go beyond universities to include multilateral institutions, government bodies, non-profit organizations, business associations and corporations.
I have a very high impression of CKGSB, and both myself and our INCAE participants are extremely satisfified with the program we have with CKGSB. Going to China and learning from experienced professors about how companies behave, how to handle the relationship with the government, and how important Chinese culture and practices are in doing business, are important aspects which we were not aware of before

Professor of Strategy, INCAE Business School
In China, IMD found that CKGSB is an ideal counterpart. Both are private institutes – they are not part of larger universities, whether private or state-owned. Both are focused on the world of business, and are experts at executive education.

Emeritus Professor of Marketing Strategy and former President, IMD Business School
The combined strengths of CKGSB and Columbia would help develop new programs. Today’s globalized economy means new ways of thinking about how we do things together. We will combine the benefifits from both the East and the West to come up with new ways of making things happen.
