【MBAChina网讯】2018年3月12日，来自11个国家的48位同学开始了在人大商学院举办的主题为From “Made in China” to “Invented in China”的国际游学之行。一周时间内，同学们通过“学”和“行”等一系列活动，有了新的体验和感悟，收获颇丰。

"I Love Beijing"

　　

Cindy Wang, MBA Candidate '19

如果用一个词来总结这一周的时光，不过充实两个字——听课，交流，企业参访，presentation。短短五天与各联盟院校学生的相处，是大家人生中非常有价值的一段回忆。

 

作为本次活动的东道主，带队老师、人大商学院企业管理系教师Majid Ghorbani 向学员介绍了中国企业的现状。中国独特的文化和经济的飞速发展，使各国学生对接下来的行程充满期待。

 

京东企业参访中的三维影像技术使学员了解了京东发展历程，先进的快递机器人、无人飞机打破了传统送件方式。

 

活动中，学员间文化和背景的差异似乎不复存在。课余时间学员们一起讨论准备小组总结，一起游览故宫走近中国文化，一起品尝京城美食。就像一位同学所说：“分享让我们觉得我们是一家人”。

当越来越多的学员表达出“I love Beijing”时，游学周活动却到了落幕的时刻。对于此次参加游学周的48名学员来说，在这五天的时光中，身体和心灵一直在路上，大家从内部突破自己，边走边学边分享，也许这就是游学周真正的意义所在。

Enriching Experiences

　　

Eason Chan, MBA Candidate '19

“Enriching” is the best word to summarize Global Network Week 2018 at Renmin --- a mixture of lectures, social events, networking, company visits, and presentations.

Although it might not sound special, I believe that it is an unforgettable journey in my life.

The first thing we did on the first day is an ice breaking activity. More than forty classmates from 11 countries were divided into six small teams, and we started our topic discussions. Professor Ghorbani introduced the present situation of China and the rapid economic development of China's unique culture, making everyone full of expectations for the week.

During the program, we visited JD where the high-tech 3D tunnel helped us understand the history of JD and its businesses. JD, as the representative of the enterprises in the field of electronic trade in China, has become the leader of the global e-commerce field. Furthermore, their advanced robots and unmanned aircrafts broke the traditional delivery methods. This experience particularly stood out for me personally.

 

I was able to gain a double dose of knowledge and friendship, making this week quite valuable. I will cherish these memories and friendships forever.

 

An Unforgettable Program

 

Albert Cheung, MBA Candidate '19

To begin with, I would like to thank the Business School, Renmin University of China for providing us with such a good opportunity to study and communicate with different universities’ students from all over the world.

The topic of this year’s Global Network Week is From “Made in China” to “Invented in China”, five days of wonderful lectures not only give us more insight into our great country, but it also allows us to better understand China with a new perspective.

It is worth mentioning the well-known enterprises we visited during the program, such as JD and Baidu. These excellent Chinese corporations are well known for their success around the world, increasing our national pride and allowing us to really experience the development of technology and innovation in China.

Finally, what impressed me the most is our interaction with students from all over the world. From the beginning I was worried that my English would be a hinder to communicate fluently with everyone, however, we learned from each other in the process. Parting of sadness still remains vivid in my mind. From now on, we will no longer feel strange when we reach their country, because we know someone will be waiting.

Cultural Hub in Beijing

　　

Na Li, MBA Candidate '19

I took this five-day Global Network Week at Renmin with 48 students from other top business schools within our Global Network for Advanced Management, such as Yale SOM, Sauder UBC, INCAE, Technion, Hitotsubashi ICS, etc., without really knowing what to expect. However, it has been an amazing experience for me.

We participated in lectures and company visits about from “Made in China” to “Invented in China” altogether. The foreign students studied hard and questioned a lot about the varied themes. We discussed and exchanged our ideas, and I found that the western students like to express themselves but we eastern prefer to listen. They also like to have parties after classes. Their criteria is study hard, then play hard. And in the meantime, through various lectures and company visits, my vision has been expanded and enriched. My way of thinking also has been inspired.

Since I am a local student at Renmin, I've only taken courses in Chinese before. This was the first time taking English lectures. The teachers were all educated abroad and some of them worked in the foreign universities. They knew the differences between western and eastern countries clearly. They gave us new perspectives, taught us how to learn and think differently, opening our traditional thought-process.

It's been great to experience such a culturally diverse group of students without having to leave Beijing or Renmin.

Renmin Hospitality

　　

Ken Li, IMBA Candidate '18

During this year's GNW, the most impressive part to me is when one professor shared an idea about how China will change the world.

Presently, China’s population accounts for almost 20% of the world's population. If we change ourselves, we’ve already changed the world. From my perspective, his words demonstrated not only a statement of our diplomatic policy, but also a power of Chinese culture on how to build and evaluate relationships with the world. Needless to say, in the business area, relationship should be one of the essential factors in making effective connections, obtaining valuable feedbacks, and reaching a destination of trust. At the same time, as a MBA student, it is much more important to know how to build good relationships.

As the host school, we all thought about how to quickly establish good relationships with those international students to make them enjoy the one-week experience in Beijing. Other than the traditional Chinese methods, were there other ways to build this good connection much faster? After one week, we found that sharing and helping are very effective methods. As one professor mentioned in a previous lecture, happiness is the most effective way to influence people without authority.

Technology: Changing the Future

　　

Meng Li, MBA Candidate '19

For me, the company visits of the program were the most representative of “Invented in China”. Both JD and Baidu deeply affected our outlooks and made us believe that “technology will change the future”.

 

At JD, we saw several generation models of drones and intelligence delivery cars. In the speech session entitled “Intelligent Logistics: JD X”, the Manager in charge of JD’s logistics introduced the “Autonomous Aerial Delivery Systems of JD". Many foreign students were amazed at JD’s delivery speed, which can promise “morning orders delivered on the same day”. And in the keynote speech of “JD Smart Supply Chain”, the department manager explained the central role played by big data analysis in JD's supply chain management.

 

On Thursday, we visited Baidu Science Park, where we saw an automated Baidu vehicle for the first time, though it was still undergoing non-stop testing. In the Baidu building, our focus fell on Xiaodu, a robot. You can communicate with the robot like Siri and even ask it to take pictures (which is of course what we did).

We learned that Baidu’s corporate culture is “Simple+Reliable" from the lecture session. We realized that it is this corporate culture that supports Baidu's continuous innovation.

 

There is no doubt that the visits to JD and Baidu both are unforgettable journeys of technological innovation for everyone.
