China Economic Review • July 20134

Peking University’s MBA Program announces reform to curriculumGuanghua School of Manage-ment at Peking University has announced the start of a revised MBA Program that increasingly highlights personal face-to-face assessment of candidates. The tra-ditional MBA admission process for mainland Chinese candidates is to first participate in a national entry examination, which deter-mines the eligibility for interview for MBA entry. Traditionally, the candidates have been accepted to the program mainly based on their test scores. The process of interviewing candidates before their filtering to national entry examination started in Guang-hua in 2011, showing a positive bias towards MBA students with richer practical experience, better problem solving and analytical skills and greater industry expe-rience. Further changes to come will stress cultivating leaders to serve the local market in China, and a “humanistic spirit” in terms of contributing to society as a whole, as well as creating a pool of ‘MBA + industrial insight’ of MBA students that connects industry experience with the

wider range of business intelli-gence taught in the program.

Survey shows MBA students happier after starting classAccording to a survey conducted by MBA50.com, MBA can-didates feel happier after they begin a program. Cited by 42% of respondents, happiness is related to self-development which is known to be a major reason for doing an MBA. Not surprisingly, the hope of career progression is the second factor that puts a smile on the faces of business school students. For Proffesor Simon Evenett, academic director of the St Gallen MBA in Switzerland: “Why should we be surprised that there is an element both of satisfaction and of happiness for MBA students, not just in the successful achievement of their goals, but also in the process of achieving these aims?”

Fudan-BI MBA Program deepens academic ties between China and NorwayThe Fudan-BI Norwegian Busi-ness School MBA program on has celebrated the launch of its “Class 20,” a group of 48 fresh-men aiming to be at the forefront

of business ties between Nor-way and China for the long run. Professor Rolv Petter Amdam, Dean of BI Norway Business School, said the Fudan-BI MBA program plays an important role in connecting two outstanding business schools in the East and West. Since the launch of the joint MBA program in 1996, the schools have gradually improved their partnership particularly in cultivating leadership skills in sectors of maritime and energy issues, both critical to the Nor-wegian and Chinese economies. Mr Yi Lu, a freshman in Class 20, said the Fudan-BI MBA Pro-gram offers business philosophy and wisdom from both the East and the West, a relevant mix of knowledge to help future leaders of business.

Students from University of Sydney to advise Chinese enterprises in ShanghaiStudents from a new MBA pro-gram at the  University of Syd-ney Business School operated  in association with Antai College of Economics and Management at Shanghai’s Jiaotong University will start a new module aimed at bettering Chinese students’ understanding of how to do busi-ness in China, allowing them to work directly with Chinese enter-prises. “For their part, we believe that Chinese enterprises will see this as an opportunity to engage with high caliber students who have Australian business experi-ence and who can add real value to their businesses,” said the busi-ness school’s Co-Dean,  Profes-sor David Grant. He said it is essential for his students to get a better understanding of China. “Our China module offers them

a unique opportunity to benefit from our relationship with Antai and to work with major Chinese enterprises. Eventually, they will be very well placed to play a lead-ership role in Australia’s future business and trade relations with China”.

CKGSB and IMD program start program in Switzerland Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, China’s first private business school, has signed with Swiss business school  IMD to start a three-and-a-half-day pro-gram for executives in Lausanne, Switzerland. The program entitled ‘The China Strategy Challenge (CSC), is designed to help senior European executives understand the Chinese way of doing busi-ness. As Teng Bingsheng, associ-ate dean of CKGSB commented: “The Eurozone faces a period of unprecedented challenge, compa-

nies are realizing they have little choice but to engage with China and East Asia. In ‘The China Strategy Challenge’ participants learn how they will need to adapt to East Asia – and meet the very people who will drive their adap-tation.” Taught jointly by IMD and CKGSB professors, CSC will be held in Lausanne, starting in early September.

Hong Kong and China enter Financial Times MBA ranking top league in 2013According to Financial Times’ annual Global MBA Ranking 2013, seven universities from China and Hong Kong have now climbed into the top 100 of the world’s best MBA program pro-viders. The three universities that kept their position year-on-year were Hong Kong UST Business School (8), CEIBS (15) and Hult International Business School

(57), with the latter two slightly improving their ranking position. Newbies on the list were CUHK Business School (27), University of Hong Kong (31), Peking Uni-versity Guanghua (66) and Fudan University School of Manage-ment (89). Their rapid develop-ment and emergence in only a decade is largely a result of the operation of joint programs with Western schools giving mainland Chinese MBA schools a kick start in terms of reaching international standards. For instance, Peking University Guanghua School of Management launched its MBA program in 1999, while Fudan University School of Manage-ment’s story is somewhat similar – a joint venture with the Olin Business School (Washington University in St. Louis), the first US-Sino joint MBA program in China, in 2002. It made it into the FT rankings in 2012.

INTERVIEW • XU HUIZHONG

徐惠忠

What is the status of joint MBA programs in Shanghai?The joint MBA program market in Shanghai is growing, so is the com-petition. With the importance of China in the world, obviously busi-ness schools need to educate experi-enced managers on par with interna-tional MBA educational programs.

What can joint MBA pro-grams offer that is differ-ent from other independent business schools?Combining the best teaching resources gives more value to stu-dents for sure. It also qualifies the participants in filling roles as man-agers in international business, as well as in society in general. Such education should seek to be rel-evant and to be an added value for the business community. Students can broaden their international scope by absorbing practical and

global experience as well.

What are the highlights of the joint MBA program between Fudan University and BI Nor-wegian Business School? This MBA program caters to a growing need for competence among managers in international businesses. It also serves to increase an international understanding of business between both China and the rest of the world. Students from

different companies and occupations ensure good sharing because most of them have worked in MNCs for over 10 years on average. We edu-cate tomorrow’s leaders through MBA courses built on the combined strengths of BI and Fudan, with an extra focus on leadership and strategy.

What other trends do you see in joint venture MBA pro-grams in Shanghai market?As the demand increases for glo-balized professional managers, the joint venture MBA program will be more attractive to candidates. However, there are three criteria that the joint venture MBA pro-grams should follow, which are uti-lizing international influence, rep-utation, as well as maintaining the quality of the business schools.

COMMENTARY

Management has been one of the great inventions of the

20th century and business schools are the foundations of the view that management and leadership can be learnt in a systematic way. There is compelling evidence of the positive effects that business schools have had on graduates, companies and societies.

The positive effects of busi-ness school programs are evident through the lives of many suc-cessful entrepreneurs and firms. The failures and mistakes of individuals educated at business schools, including those related

Business schools globally are facing significant challenges and their future depends on their ability to serve managers, entrepreneurs, firms and the community at large, says Jordi Canals, dean of the IESE Business School

The Relevance of the business school

to the financial crisis, distract us from the positive effects that busi-ness schools have had in terms of developing excellent profession-als across many industries in new and longstanding firms. Business schools have contributed to job creation and innovation, both in developed and emerging coun-tries. The many challenges that businesses and society face in the 21st century will only heighten the demand for highly prepared man-agers and entrepreneurs.

Today, business schools are being criticized for the role they have had in the financial crisis. I

believe that business schools need to take a more decisive role in shaping the concept and mission of the firm, and rethinking the role of senior managers in organizations.

Corporate needs are changing and society’s expectations of com-panies and business leaders are also evolving. Managerial problems in companies, governments and soci-ety are becoming bigger and there is need for better management education and research. Business schools should be there not merely to profit from those opportuni-ties, but also drive change, and promote personal, corporate and

social progress. Business schools need a deeper

sense of mission and must better explain what they want their role in society to be, if they truly want to have a positive impact.

The growth of management studies has taken for granted a basic hypothesis of finance: That the only goal of companies is to maximize shareholder value. The founders of some of the main business schools in the US and Europe thought that companies had a wider role in soci-ety, believing that educating entre-preneurs and general managers was important for the good of society. But schools have lost sight of this. They have to rethink the founda-tions and the purpose of companies and the role of senior managers in society. They also need to better integrate an ethical view of man-agement across the curriculum. Financial incentives have a role, but the hypothesis that they alone can drive individual and social progress contradicts evidence. Society needs a more humanistic view of the firm

and management. The current financial crisis

has highlighted the need to rede-fine the role of senior managers in organizations and is a great oppor-tunity to reflect on one’s mission and strategy. It is an important challenge for each school and a col-lective one for the business school industry.

Management remains an important profession in society today. The challenges facing busi-ness schools are great, but their future very much depends upon their ability to serve managers, entrepreneurs, firms and the com-munity. One important step that business schools must now take is to redefine the view of the firm. In addition, they must redefine the meaning of the management pro-fession, the role of senior managers and the unique mission of compa-nies in society by going beyond the generation of economic value.

IESE Business School has focused on these goals ever since it was founded in 1958. The strong

sense of IESE’s mission and val-ues, along with the entrepreneurial drive of its faculty, staff and alumni, has led the school to grow success-fully, and has also helped to create new schools and programs around the world. IESE’s fundamental val-ues are quite unique among busi-ness schools worldwide and the financial crisis shows us that these values are more important than ever.

Dr. Jordi Canals, Dean of IESE Business School, is a PhD in Economics (University of Bar-celona) and has won a Best Dis-sertation Award and a Fulbright Fellowship. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the International Mon-etary Fund and at the World Bank, a PostDoctoral Fellow at the Har-vard Business School and Guest Scholar at the Brookings Institu-tion. He is a board member of the European Corporate Governance Institute and EQUIS. His latest book is “Leadership development in a Global World: The role of companies and business schools”

The Western hemisphere has tradition-ally acted as a magnate for professionals

looking for masters in business administra-tion courses. Whether it be Harvard Business School in Massachusetts or HEC School of Management in Paris, the two sides of the Atlantic have drawn students from around the world for decades on the promise of the highest-quality schooling and insider connections.

However, just as the weight of global GDP output has swung from the West to the East, so has intake of MBA and executive MBA (EMBA) students. In particular, China’s rise has not only precipitated a jump in foreign investment but also a rapidly climbing num-ber of foreign business students in classrooms in China and Hong Kong.

Global financial crisis in the US and Europe has emboldened the trend. Insiders said that during the past four years Chinese

Chinese business schools are gaining traction among foreign students due to increased teaching quality and new international partnerships

MBA programs have captured the world’s attention as more companies want a foothold in the country.

And that pace is only set to continue. As for China’s MBA market in the next few years, “I think it will con-tinue to grow rapidly,” said Loron Orris, the Regional Director of the Executive MBA program at Ivey Asia.

Garnering “guanxi”Learning about Chinese business practices from a classroom on the US’s east coast won’t necessarily translate into on-the-ground ability in China.

While personal connections are an integral aspect of business culture the world over, China has its own brand of shoulder-rubbing known in Mandarin as guanxi, often the key to striking long-term deals in the country. Cultivating guanxi is something better done on the mainland, insiders noted.

“Executives from North America and Europe want to learn more about Asia because this is going continue to play a critical role in the global economy,” Orris said. And that will only increase over time. So an EMBA program is a way for these executives to come to the market and develop their own network through meet-

ing with other students, as well as a way to understand the region. ”

Part of the process of understanding China will be sharing the lecture hall with local students. Last year, more than 100,000 potential students from Hong Kong and China took the mainland’s standard entrance examination for MBA programs, a marked increase over the year before.

In this respect, China in holding in talent that just

five years earlier would have sought out schooling in the US or Europe. This has had a significant effect on the quality of the classroom environment.

The domestic market for MBAs is set to retain that talent in the future by offering several competitive advantages to its local students, according to Cong Pan, executive director of Shanghai International Studies University’s MBA center.

“Domestic institutions are not only delivering knowledge but also providing opportunities such as local internships, where they could apply knowledge to the Chinese context. Other value added services, such as exchange program and job-seeking information are also offered in those institutions,” according to Pan.

Mature stageChinese MBA programs are well aware that interna-tional demand for their instruction is on the rise. In recognition of this demand, Chinese government and schools have ramped up efforts to attract renowned pro-fessors, as well as kicking off a new series of exchange pro-grams to complement the partnerships that already exist.

Fudan University has launched joint MBA program with BI Norwegian Business School. Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business reached an agreement with Swiss business school IMD to set up short-term

business study programs. Many domestic institutions are looking into increase

the amount of exchange with other countries and fac-ulty, Orris said.

Chinese MBA and EMBA programs are approach-ing a more mature stage of operations as local regulators are now considering establishing an accreditation brand for Chinese schools. Donghui Mao, vice director at Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Man-agement, said in a recent media interview that develop-ing a Chinese MBA accreditation system could bring about improvements on the education system, manage-ment and faculty building.

A domestic accreditation system would also serve as guidance for newly established MBA programs and those bases in the Central or Western Regions of China.

Many Chinese business schools still struggle in the face of global ratings, a factor that may continue to hin-der popularity among some international students.

Chinese and Hong Kong MBA programs still fall behind to their US and Europe counterparts in terms of global ratings. Only two Chinese schools, CEIBS and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, can be found on the Financial Times list of top 20 global programs, one of the most highly regarded standards for performance and quality.

WORLD LEADER IN JEWISH STUDIES

对各国的专业人士而言,欧美

商学院校一直是其攻读工商

管理硕士课程的理想地点。从美国

麻省的哈佛商学院到法国的巴黎高

等商学院,大西洋两岸的商学院十

年来一直吸引着来自世界各地的学

生,原因在于它们能提供在教学质

量和人脉积累方面的优质保证。

然而随着全球GDP重心自西向

东转移,工商管理硕士(MBA)和

脱颖而出教学质量的不断提升、国际合作的持续深入使中国商学院校日渐受到外国学生关注

高级工商管理硕士(EMBA)课程

的申请情况也开始呈现相同趋势。

中国的崛起不仅引发了外商投资的

热潮,也使得申请入读中国大陆和

香港商学院校的人数迅速攀升。

金融危机在欧美国家的持续深

化也助推了这一趋势。有内部人士

称,鉴于愈来愈多跨国企业有意拓

展中国市场,过去4年中中国MBA

项目已获得全球瞩目。

Ivey亚洲校区EMBA项目区域

总监洛伦.奥里斯(Loron Orris)

对此表示:“中国MBA市场在未来

数年将保持增长势头。”

人脉积累必 须 承 认 的 是 , 要 想 真 正 将

所学应用于中国市场,仅凭坐在美

国东海岸的课堂中学习是远远不够

的。

尽管人际网络是全球商业文化

的重要组成部分,但中国人对于“关

系”二字却有着自己的诠释方式,获

悉其中的真谛对于在这一国家达成长

期交易至关重要。内部人士也认同这

一观念,并称要想拓展大陆市场最好

先打通“关系”。

对此奥里斯先生还补充称:“来

自 北 美 和 欧 洲 的 高 管 人 士 希 望 能

更好地了解亚洲,因为后者将在全

球经济的发展中发挥愈来愈重要的作

用。所以研读EMBA项目是他们亲

身试水亚市,并通过同窗关系发展人

脉的途径之一。”

了 解 中 国 市 场 的 一 个 重 要

方 法 正 是 与 中 国 本 土 学 生 成 为 同

窗。2012年,大陆MBA项目的报考

人数已超过10万人次,与上一年相

比增长显著。

从这一角度来看,中国商学院

对本土学生的吸引力也在不断增强。

就在短短五年前,他们大多倾向于远

赴欧美留学。这一转变将在很大程度

上改善教学环境。

对此上海外国语大学MBA教育

中心执行主任潘聪指出,未来中国

MBA项目将凭借自身的诸多优势来

留住本土学生。

她还谈道:“现在国内的商学

院校已不单单是传递知识,同时也会

为学生提供实习等能将理论应用于本

土市场的机会。其他增值服务还包括

交换项目以及就业信息的发布。”

羽翼渐丰随着全球市场对中国MBA项目

需求的不断提升,中国政府和商学院

校正着力吸引知名学者来华任教,并

启动了一系列交换项目,以深化现有

的校际合作关系。

相关的事例不胜枚举:复旦大

学与BI挪威商学院联合推出了MBA

项目;长江商学院则同瑞士国际管理

发展学院(IMD)携手开设了短期的

商业课程。

奥里斯先生还指出,很多国内

院校正寻求与其他国家和机构达成更

多的交换项目。

随着中国MBA和EMBA项目不

断走向成熟,国家有关部门目前正开

始考虑建立自己的高质量MBA认证品

牌。清华大学MBA中心常务副主任毛

东辉在近期的一次媒体采访中表示,

建立中国MBA认证体系有助于完善教

育体系,加强管理及教师队伍建设。

本土MBA认证体系也将对国内

新建的MBA项目及中西部地区商业

院校的发展起到指导作用。

然而,目前中国的很多商业院

校仍在积极寻求提升国际排名。未来

这一指标或将继续成为国际学生来华

就读的障碍。

就国际排名而言,中国大陆和

香港的MBA项目仍略逊于欧美同

行。目前仅有中欧国际工商学院和香

港科技大学被列入《金融时报》评选

出的全球MBA院校20强。

“未来中国MBA项目将凭借自身的诸多优势来留住本土学生,现在国内的商学院校已不单单是传递知识,同时也会为学生提供实习等能将理论应用于本土市场的机会。其他增值服务还包括交换项目以及就业信息的发布”—— 潘聪,上海外国语大学MBA教育中心执行主任
