MBA applicants, CEIBS alumni and business partners are invited to join us for an MBA info session and lecture on China’s Business Landscape: Present and Future. Led by CEIBS MBA Director and Professor of Management Dr. Juan Antonio Fernandez, the session will cover findings from the annual China Business Survey, such as how China has transformed from the factory of the world into an innovation powerhouse and what is next for the world's second largest economy.

Current Product Planning Manager of Scotiabank Peru, Carlo Bouroncle, will then share insights on Chinese teamwork, his life in China, and learnings from MBA internships in both China and Spain, as he discusses his journey into the unknown world of Asia to becoming a master of intercultural leadership and negotiation skills. During his speech, he will talk about his experience as a Latino on his first trip to China and share his thoughts on how Latin Americans can learn from Chinese long-term planning to further improve their position in the global business landscape.
