The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) has announced
the second-phase winners of a $10 million program designed to enhance
graduate management education. Twelve organizations, including business
schools in the United States, Canada, Spain, India and Botswana, were
awarded a total of $7.1 million in funding to develop ideas submitted as
part of the Ideas to Innovation (i2i) Challenge.
The first phase of the i2i Challenge drew more than 650 initial ideas
in response to the question, “What one idea would improve graduate
management education?”
Twenty ideas were selected; as part of the second phase, 25 organizations from seven
countries were invited to create innovative graduate management
education programs inspired by winning Phase 1 concepts.
On April 17th, GMAC announced 12 finalists, including ESADE in Spain,
the University of Botswana and Net Impact, an international network of
top graduate business schools.
The
winning i2i proposals each focus on one of three areas: creating social
responsibility and service learning opportunities as part of business
school, developing new business leadership opportunities for military
veterans and encouraging global collaboration between educational
institutions.
