Following a successful pilot series in 2025, a number of member schools are planning to host modules exclusively for alumni of Global Network for Advanced Management member schools, in 2026 and beyond. Alumni modules follow the style of Global Network Weeks for students, providing an opportunity to pursue intensive study at a network school, in a focused course that leverages the perspectives, programs, and faculty expertise of that school. Alongside counterparts from elsewhere in the network, participants experience a mix of classes and other activities, and meet with experts focused on current business challenges. Details of future modules will be announced on this page, so check back from time to time to see what is being offered and details on how to apply. General information can be found in these FAQs.
GNAM Alumni Modules 2026
Hitotsubashi University Business School, School of International Corporate Strategy, Japan
"Japan as Stakeholder Capitalism – Then, Now, and Future," a GNAM Alumni Module hosted by Hitotsubashi ICS, will focus on Japan’s business environment, particularly its long-standing tradition of stakeholder-oriented capitalism. This model, which prioritises long-term value creation for a broad range of stakeholders beyond shareholders, is currently being re-evaluated and reshaped amidst a rapidly-changing economic, political and societal landscape. Key areas of focus for the module include engaging with activist shareholders, addressing the multiple challenges associated with a super-aging society, advancing gender equality, promoting diversity and inclusion, and incorporating youth perspectives within the context of an increasingly "silver democracy".
The program will be particularly beneficial for GNAM alumni interested in the intersection of business practices and societal impact. The module will also feature cultural activities, company visits, and guest speaker sessions, offering a comprehensive experience in one of the world’s most dynamic economies.
