【MBAChina网讯】韩国权威商业周刊，Economy Chosun,在今年8月刊封面文章“全球MBA项目的危机”中列出了全球顶级商学院MBA TOP10,长江商学院MBA项目成为中华地区唯一上榜院校。

　　

长江商学院金融学教授、杰出院长讲席教授、MBA项目副院长李海涛在采访中表示：

　　

虽然全球金融危机对世界上很多商学院都产生了较大的影响，但事实上近年来中国的金融业一直蓬勃发展，长江商学院深刻的中国洞察与强大的校友网络反而吸引了越来越多的优质申请人。长江MBA对于想驻足中国市场的韩国年轻人来说是个理想的选择。

　　

Economy Chosun, a weekly magazine specializing in economic and business news published by Korea’s most prestigious media group Chosun Media Group, has named Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) as one of the world’s top business schools in terms of the quality and innovation strategies of its MBA program.

　　

CKGSB was the only Chinese school named in the list, which the nation’s top-notch business weekly magazine compiled for the cover story of its August 3 issue.

　　

Entitled ‘Global MBA Programs at Crisis,’ the cover story examined the present and future of MBA programs offered at major business schools across the globe.

　　

The general impression of MBA programs has changed after the 2008 global financial crisis, the article wrote, criticized by some for being less useful for career success as the global economy remains stagnant.

　　

As demand for MBAs has declined from Wall Street and the popularity of free online MBA lectures has grown, global business schools have recently come up with two breakthrough strategies: i) reinventing their identity by focusing on entrepreneurship studies to follow the legendary success of IT giants like Microsoft and Facebook, and ii) emphasizing strong business networks in an effort to offer practical assistance.

　　

“Despite CKGSB not participating in any global MBA ranking programs, it has grown into one of China’s most representative business schools, especially with its strong alumni network that includes billionaire businesspeople like Jack Ma of Alibaba and Li Dongsheng of TCL Group,” the magazine wrote.

　　

The following are the World’s Top 10 MBAs as named by Economy Chosun:

　　

China: CKGSB

　　

United States: Stanford GSB, Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan School of Management, Booth School of Business at University of Chicago, Columbia Business School

　　

United Kingdom: Oxford Said Business School

　　

France: INSEAD

　　

Switzerland: IMD

　　

Singapore: NUS Business School

　　

In line with the cover story, CKGSB’s MBA curriculum was introduced in depth in an interview with Dean's Distinguished Chair Professor of Finance at CKGSB, Li Haitao, also the Associate Dean of the school’s MBA Program.

　　

Professor Li highlighted the school’s strong alumni network, which incorporates visits to global companies, and its collaboration with world-renowned institutions, both key competitive edges and aspects unique to CKGSB.

　　

The following contains edited excerpts of the interview:

　　

Q.An obvious change after the global financial crisis was the decline of high-paying financial sector jobs. With tuition costs and other fees for obtaining MBA degrees from top-notch business schools remaining high (or even higher than before), what trends have you seen with regards to overall applications. Has this influenced CKGSB in any way?

　　

Professor Li: This phenomenon has not affected our program at all, given our focus on China business. In fact, the financial industry in China has been booming, and we’ve actually seen increased interest in our program. Both the number of applications and quality of applicants have further improved.

　　

Q.What are the competitive edges of CKGSB’s MBA program?

　　

Professor Li: CKGSB focuses on expanding the students’ business network by linking our MBA students to students and alumni from other CKGSB programs such as DBA, EMBA, Finance MBA and Executive Education programs. We also help our students improve and develop a global perspective via our US module and international exchange programs, during which our MBA students get a chance to learn first-hand lessons from leading hi-tech companies, like Google, LinkedIn and Apple. CKGSB has also collaborated with different business leader incubating institutions across the globe, including Harvard Kennedy School and IMD in Switzerland.

　　

Q. What backgrounds do your MBA students come from?

　　

Professor Li: Our MBA students have an average age of 29. They come from a wide range of backgrounds in terms of education, professional experience and career interests. Most of them have studied or worked overseas and are good at cross-cultural communication and collaboration. We have quite few Korean students in our MBA program. We find them extremely hard-working, respectful, intelligent and ambitious.

　

Q. What are the advantages that Koreans can obtain by choosing CKGSB’s MBA program over other MBA programs in western countries?

　　

Professor Li: Korea has been China’s largest trading partner in Asia. There will continue to be huge potential for Koreans doing business with, and in, China. The CKGSB MBA program is an ideal choice for young Koreans who want to tap into the Chinese market.
