The Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) is an association of university-level schools of business that promotes the incorporation of a strong international dimension into management training and accredits schools that offer internationally oriented business curricula. NIBS and its various member institutions advocate for the creation of business education programs that integrate internationalist skills and perspectives, including the practice of foreign languages, the study of comparative management techniques, and the experience of working and studying abroad. They also facilitate cooperation between educational institutions in different countries, on the premise that this contributes to better relations between nations by deepening understanding of other cultures and social practices. NIBS was formed in 1993 and currently has approximately 70 member institutions in over 30 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Member Schools )〕 Members of NIBS recognize each other’s qualifications, have a common goal of collaboration, and encourage participation in the following: * Student exchanges/interactions * Faculty exchanges/interactions * Exchanges of ideas for teaching programs * Joint teaching and research programs The current president of NIBS is Dr. Ian Charles, who also serves as Associate Dean of International Partnerships and Collaborations at the International Business Academy in Kolding, Denmark.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://uk.iba.dk/news/143-iba-associate-dean-is-the-new-nibs-president/#143 )〕 Previously, the position was held by Dr. David Gillingham, who served in the role from its inception in 1993 until 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.nibsweb.org/david-gillingham-award.html )〕 == Accreditation == Since 2008, a key function of the organization has been the accreditation of internationally oriented schools of business around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Accreditation )〕 NIBS accreditation is not intended to compete with long-established accreditation bodies, such as the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), or the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS); rather, it focuses on the degree to which the business school has become international in all facets of its organization. The NIBS accreditation scheme is thus generally regarded as a supplement to other accreditations, as well as a signal that an institution is committed to "deep" internationalization. Any full member school of NIBS may apply for accreditation, which consists of a three-step process: completion of a self-assessment questionnaire on internationalization; a visit by an accreditation team; and a decision by the NIBS Board of Directors. As of April 2014, a total of 22 institutions have been accredited by NIBS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Member Schools )〕 These include: * Assumption University (Thailand) * Arkansas State University (USA) * BA School of Business and Finance (Latvia) * Berlin School of Economics and Law (Germany) * Bishop's University (Canada) * Carleton University, Sprott School of Business (Canada) * Foro Europeo: Navarra’s Business School (Spain) * Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen (Netherlands) * Hogeschool van Amsterdam (Netherlands) * Heilbronn University (Germany) * Interamerican University of Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico) * International Business Academy, Kolding (Denmark) * Katholieke Hogeschool Leuven (Belgium) * Lahti University of Applied Sciences (Finland) * New College Durham (United Kingdom) * Northern State University (USA) * Poznan University College of Business (Poland) * Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) * Southeast Missouri State University (USA) * Thomas More Kempen (Belgium) * Universidad del Sagrado Corazón (Puerto Rico) * Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Network of International Business Schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
