The AsiaGSB “Founding Conference” was held on 19th January 2008, at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre, Hyderabad, India, with over 40 Professors, Deans, and Directors from across Asia, US and Europe participating in the experience.
A few panelists were of the view that there was an over-emphasis in B-schools on case-studies on business models of the Western world. In the process, one could lose track of the way businesses are run in our neighbouring countries.
The aim of the conference was to evolve the vision, develop the mission statement and the essential strategic innovations of Asia GSB, and to focus on the collaborative model of the business school. The delegates deliberated upon programs to be offered, curricula, academic model, and faculty compensation matters. This led to an opportunity for the academic leaders to design the future of the school from inception itself- an idea never before attempted in the world of business education. These are the extracts from the founding conference of Asia Graduate School of Business:

Networking is a clear way to forge such bilateral ties and B schools should organize international events to ensure that students across neighbouring countries interact with each other, said Dr. P.V. Ramana, Chairman and Managing Director of ITM Group. |

"Students in India have less work experience and lack in communication skills. Exchange programs to countries like China can give them better exposure," said Nitin Pangarkar, Academic Director, National University of Singapore. |
 |
"B-Schools in Asia can help build bi-lateral relationships. These schools have to collaborate with each other on faculty and student exchange programs, said Prof. Alain Ouvrieu, Director, (International Development), ESSCA Graduate School of Management. |

Dr. Liyan Zhang, Professor, Tianjin University of Finance & Economics reckons that collaboration for faculty exchange program is a must. |

Besides building business acumen, B School programs should focus on corporate governance issues and ethical leadership, said Annabel Beerel, Distinguished Professor, Southern New Hampshire University. |
