This is the best program jointly developed by top Chinese and US universities.
General MBA programs aim to cultivate professional managers, as the best one, our program cultivates leaders.
So I think one of the most important features of this finance MBA program is its vision: the understanding of globalization, the understanding of the fourth industrial revolution dominated by artificial intelligence, and the understanding of human care and the differences between Chinese and American Cultures.
Therefore, this is a program integrating the best educational resources in China and the US to nurture global leaders.
MBA is a professional degree, so the study goal of MBA students is to practice, rather than doing academic research.
So of course, I have to make teaching adjustments accordingly.
For example, I teach International Trade and Finance for this program. My lecture is not so much about theories. It talks about some of the most important issues in international trade and finance based on Sino-US trade disputes.
I hope this course will enable you to understand the biggest international economic challenge in today's society, that is, the Sino-US trade disputes.
Understanding the context of these problems will help expand students' vision and enhance their understanding of globalization.
Our program will surely surpass expectations.
I think, in addition to students' preparation for professional knowledge absorption, we will pay more attention to identify whether these students have the desire, the potential quality, the great mind and the vision to become world economic leaders.
I think these factors are essential.
