Pioneer of New MBA Education under a Committed Mission

　　With the navigation from a highly capable China’s National MBA Supervisory Committee and various smart business school and MBA leaders here, some of the prestigious MBA programs in China are focused on creating a new model of MBA education which cannot be found in anywhere of this world.

　　We, Shanghai University’s MBA Education (the “SHU MBA”), is one of the pioneers in China and the world. It undergoes destructive transformation to deliver new generation of MBA education under a destructively innovative way since 2004 when it also commits to its mission of “Developing Outstanding Whole-person and Global Local Talents People can Trust and Work with (培养全面发展的、可相信与可共事的Global Local人才)”.

　　Whole-Person and Global Local

　　SHU MBA trusts our MBA education should be more than knowledge-building journey. It should be a journey that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit, instead of a collection of mathematical models, facts, data and rules. Under this Belief, SHU MBA develops its unique educational model concerning “Whole-Person Development” and “Global Local”.

　　(1)Whole-person and Interdisciplinary Development, which comes from the unique educational through of “all-round development’ advocated from our President Qian Weichang, who is regarded as “Father of Mechanics” in China. Anyone of our global local MBA program curriculum is composed of 3 inter-locking categories over 60 compulsory credits, including (i) Business Skills, (ii) Personal Development and Leadership Soft Power, and (iii) Career Intelligence.

　　(2)the commitment of “Thinking Global, Acting Local”, which cater for the present and tomorrow talents needs of Shanghai, where is an international and globalizing city in China.

　　Challenge Today - Societal Leadership and Sustainability

　　One of key business challenges today is how to engage Societal Leadership and Sustainability into traditional business models. There are also various challenges related to insufficient holistic humanities and community-responsibilities. Therefore, Today and Tomorrow, our worlds ask for a new era of leaders, who are holistic elites to combine social and economic values at optimal level. Our world also looks for a new business model which helps to create a sustainable and harmonic world by integrating green technology to business by integrating ethics and responsibilities into economic values. These new horizons and competency sets planted in the curriculum of the MBA programs is also what SHU MBA program is unique for.

　　Welcome to SHU MBA

　　We understand that no MBA programme can be catered to suit each individual student. Thus, applicants should first understand their present and future personal/career goals, and even life mission before applying. An MBA degree without the development of individual competency through appropriate direction can become a liability in the future. Thus, a smart applicant should apply for the right program for competency development, instead of simply pursuing a degree for the sake of career development. We hope that SHU MBA can cater your needs.

　　We also recognize the growing trend that the China MBA education is becoming more competitive but also becoming more mature. Hence, we also welcome applications from overseas to prepare the new generation of global businesses and community which should also accommodate the change of China and its MBA education.
