"When the Global EMBA programme was initially delivered in China, it focused on Western management culture and skills. It showed us a different management model and eventually changed our mind-set. The systematic studies have helped me broaden my knowledge in not only marketing, logistics and human resources, but also strategy and financial management. It has played a critical role in my career development.
However, in hindsight, what we've really learnt from the Global EMBA programme is a way of thinking rather than skills or knowledge. So, when I faced problems at work, I knew how to seek solutions from different dimensions. I've learnt to find inspiration from Chinese and Western philosophy books which, in my opinion, are the source of managerial ideas. Since graduating from the CEIBS Global EMBA programme, my education has proved more useful as time has passed.
When we joined CEIBS Global EMBA in 1995, almost none of our class (42 students) knew exactly what the Global EMBA or MBA meant. And back then, the degree had not yet been officially recognised by the state. But we selected CEIBS for a simple purpose – learning something valuable and helpful for long-term career development rather than merely getting a degree or building a personal network. CEIBS Global EMBA programme delivers the best value for money."
