The city has long been playing an important role in helping mainland Chinese companies to go abroad while being the gateway for overseas enterprises to enter the China market. With its historical ties to China, CUHK Business School has a comparatively thorough understanding of the China and Asia market.” Adding to his points on the school’s uniqueness, the Dean stated that in addition to CUHK Shenzhen, CUHK Business School will continue to look for opportunities to collaborate with other mainland universities as well as establish partnerships with overseas institutions.
Commenting on the difference between MBA programmes from Hong Kong and the ones jointly offered by Hong Kong and mainland universities/business schools, Dean Chan pointed out that “as an international metropolitan and financial center, the city has long been an open and internationalised market, and therefore MBA programmes from universities/business schools in Hong Kong are highly internationalised with an aim to help students develop their global mindsets. The Hong Kong MBA programmes also put emphasis on blending the best of the East and West in doing business and analysis, aiming to nurturing business leaders for multinational operations.”
