Association of MBAs (AMBA), the international impartial authority on postgraduate business education, was established in the UK in 1967. It is recognized as one of the main 3 business education accreditation organizations and one of the most reputable accreditation systems across the globe. Since its establishment, AMBA has worked relentlessly to promote the development of MBA and MBA Program, with its current amount of member schools reaching over 200 around the world.
AMBA Global AMBAssador Program is a new initiative launched in 2012, creating a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and engagement with MBAs, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators across the world. The Global AMBAssadors promote the accredited MBA and provide a supportive worldwide network for a new generation of MBAs who will inspire, connect, and grow the MBA community internationally. AMBA Global Leadership Conference is the annual event that embodies the value of this program.
The AMBA Global AMBAssador Program is important to ZJU-SOM because it has lifted Zhejiang MBA to a brand new level. This international MBA platform will surely become a new bridge which will actively bring Zhejiang MBA closer to other elite business schools and their networks.
