China’s service sector now makes up the bulk of the country’s economy and is expected to play an even greater role in the years ahead. But there is still a need for talented professionals – within Chinese firms doing business in and outside of China – capable of offering world-class service across a wide range of industries. The freshly launched Hospitality Executive MBA (HEMBA) is expected to make a huge difference in addressing this talent shortage. The joint CEIBS-EHL programme began classes at the China Europe International Business School’s (CEIBS) Shanghai Campus today. For the next week, 52 executives from a mixture of Chinese companies and foreign firms doing business in China will have classes on Strategic Management in the Hospitality Industry, Organisational Behaviour and Leadership.

April 18, 2018. Shanghai – If there is an accident involving an autonomous vehicle, who is liable? Is it the person sitting in the driver’s seat who, it can be argued, is merely a passenger while the car is operating autonomously? Is it the car manufacturer, or the company behind the data being used by the vehicle? As digitisation transforms and shapes the future of the auto industry, and related sectors such as auto insurance, these are issues players will have to face.

Mauch, Senior Vice President of T-Systems' Sales & Service for the Automotive and Manufacturing Industry during today’s talk on the Shanghai Campus of China Europe International Business School.
