During the two-day meeting, the members were involved in a heated discussion about the Network’s development review, retrospection and outlook, management mechanisms, and joint efforts to develop case studies. Four sub-forums enabled multilateral exchanges among the member schools to share views on the following four topics -- the innovation of the mechanism of one-week overseas study tour, the global business classroom in the Internet era, the network of the global business schools, and the strength and weakness of international accreditation. On the afternoon of April 16th, some member school representatives took an on-site visit to 360buy and had an in-depth look at the operation of the famous local company in China.
