In recent years, Yale SOM has taken steps to address what Dean Edward A. Snyder has termed the “global imperative”—the pressing need to develop leaders who can thrive in a world in which billions of people have joined market economies and become increasingly connected by fast-developing technologies. Leaders from Yale, top corporations, and Global Network schools convened on September 8-9 to discuss the school’s global strategy to create effective global leaders to confront a range of challenges, where solutions require the best ideas from all sectors and regions.
