An association for the emerging new world...

The idea of ABBS derives from a bold vision of the possibilities for business schools from the member countries to contribute to global management education.  With their rising importance as the most active growth areas in the global economy today, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa also represent management education systems that are characterised by dynamic trends of development and significant potential to add to global learning.

ABBS was conceived as an initiative to bring together business schools from BRICS countries in a common forum so as to share experiences and to pursue cooperation and academic exchanges for common benefit.
