Best Business School Partnership

The Best Business School Partnership award recognises business schools that share AMBA & BGA’s passion for building networks and have adopted a proactive, innovative approach to strategic collaboration.

It is open to any business school working strategically and collaboratively with (for example) another school / group of schools, an employer, a consultant, education partner or technology provider, a social impact group, an individual, a charity, or another organisation.
