Through 25 years of development, SBA has established a widespread and effective collaborative network in order to better integrate resources, improve education and seize opportunity. As its competitive power growing, the school will attract more partners at higher level for better collaboration.

For vocational degrees and senior executive training education, SBA has established an external human resource network. Based on that, the program centers can not only invite deans and professors from popular domestic universities including Tsinghua University , Xiamen University , Nanjing University , Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Renmin University of China, but also have a long-term partnership with schools and teachers from University of Pennsylvania , University of California , Los Angeles , University of Iowa and University of Indiana .

A research center has been built to function in the Innovation Base for New Form of Industrialization. Long-term ties with local government and domestic and overseas scholars have been set up and some specialists have been invited as part-time research fellows. Their participation has brought the school into a much broader joint research network.

As for joint education, focusing on doctoral candidates' research ability, SBA has made long-term collaborations with some mainland and Hong Kong universities; a joint education and senior learning program for the faculty has been carried out with support from USA, France, Italy, Britain and Australia; a cooperative mechanism in research programs has been established with universities in Hong Kong, Italy, Britain and USA. These high-level collaborations have greatly enhanced SBA's academic development and international status.
