ABSTRACT

As business has become increasingly global in nature during the 21st century, business schools' international collaborations have gained more importance since schools look for greater relevance and bigger positive impact on society. In the case of Latin American business schools, the development of international partnerships and collaboration agreements has certainly gone hand in hand with the advent of countries' open economy and the ensuing rise of multinational companies, along with more regional firms becoming global. Regular interaction among members of the network is virtual and by group of interest. As the level of global trade is higher than the level of intra-regional trade in most Latin American countries, this has seemingly prompted an imbalance between global vs regional partnerships developed by schools in the continent.
