The Window to Learn from the Real Business World, Extension of MBA Programme

Mentee: Jeffrey LI

Mentor: Hanguan Xia, Chairman, Pacific Precision Forging Co., Ltd.

This is a fruitful program! After meeting my mentor during the club fare and having a discussion with him, I know that I have selected the correct one.

As a successful entrepreneur in China, my mentor has a deep background in gear industry. So he can not only bring me the industry knowledge, but also share his own experience telling me how to become successful in China. This kind of communication builds up our relationship, and let me know what and how to do during my MBA study life here at CEIBS.

During the winter holiday, my mentor invited me to visit his company so that I can learn from the real world. During that period, I stayed from finance department to marketing department and production department for several days each. In these departments I can apply the knowledge I learnt from the class to real world, and analyzed the financial condition and marketing status of the company and provided development suggestions. In the production department, I can give my suggestions on their management system based on my working experience. After the holiday, I had a further understanding on the car and gear industry, and on corporation management, and my strategic management skill was also enhanced.

In the following months, my mentor will invite me to participate in the company's financing project, which would strongly support my career development. I believe this mentoring program can bring me not only the opportunity to learn from the real world, but also a person to help my career development: the MENTOR.
