ISB Hyderabad Ties-up With Chinese B-school For Exchange Programme Hyderabad, September 8, 2005: The Indian School of Business (ISB), has recently signed up with the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), Beijing for a Student Exchange Programme. This agreement is noteworthy given that India and China are increasingly recognized as the leading economies of the future. Speaking on the occasion, Prof. M. Rammohan Rao, Dean, ISB said, "India and China are two of the most significant emerging markets. The ISB and the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, therefore, make ideal partners for exposing our students to each others' expertise, heritage and culture. This is indeed a proud moment for us." Prof. Jean Lee, Associate Dean, CKGSB, said, "Both the ISB and the CKGSB have similar aspirations and are taking big strides in their ambitious vision to be the top business schools in Asia. Our partnership with the ISB brings both our countries closer and helps us in sharing new ways of doing business in emerging markets." The CKGSB was established in 2002, in Beijing. The School has established strong relationships with top B-schools in the US and Europe, including Wharton, UCLA, INSEAD, Darden and McGill. It is now beginning to seek more interaction with schools in Asia. "CKGSB holds the unique position of being China's first independent, freestanding and not-for-profit institution of higher learning," said Prof. Bing Xiang, Dean CKGSB. The ISB is working actively on building partnerships with B-schools from key regions of the world, especially from the emerging economies such as China, South Africa, Pakistan, Israel along with the developed economies to make the learning through these programmes truly global. Currently, the ISB has Student Exchange agreements with 12 B-schools across 7 countries and is looking at increasing these to 25 in the following year. In addition to these student exchange agreements, the ISB also invites students on 'India Study Tours' and supports them on these visits. Last year, the ISB hosted professionals and students from The Wharton School, Thunderbird University, Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, Kansas University, USA and Bocconi University, Italy.
