Asia School of Business Engages in Global Dialog on the Value Propositions of Degrees at the AACSB ICAM 2026 in Seattle.
On 14 April 2026, the Asia School of Business (ASB) will participate in the AACSB International Conference and Annual Meeting (ICAM) 2026 in Seattle, one of the premier global gatherings for leaders from business schools and education institutions.
Organized by AACSB International, the world’s largest business education network, the conference reflects AACSB’s role in shaping business education through accreditation, thought leadership, and a network of leading institutions. Its International Conference and Annual Meeting (ICAM) brings together institutions, educators, and industry partners from more than 60 countries, serving as a platform for leaders to exchange perspectives on the evolving role of business schools, leadership, and management education. ICAM 2026 will focus on how business schools can remain relevant amid rapid economic, technological, and societal changes, while strengthening the collective impact of the AACSB community.
ASB’s participation in ICAM 2026 reflects the School’s ongoing engagement in these conversations. Representing ASB, its CEO, President, and Dean, Professor Joseph Cherian, will speak alongside fellow deans from the United States and Sweden, offering perspectives shaped by ASB’s engagement with global business education and its experience operating in a dynamic Asian context.
This engagement builds on ASB’s continued participation in AACSB’s platform. In October 2025, Professor Cherian contributed to discussions at AACSB Elevate Asia Pacific in Hong Kong, where he spoke on the role of business schools in building entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems.
Against this backdrop, Professor Cherian notes, “The greatest challenge facing business schools today is remaining relevant to their mission. While each school must ultimately find its own distinctive niche, every institution shares the responsibility of developing well-trained, transformative, principled, business-ready, and results-oriented leaders.”
