Interactive Learning in Beijing
The "China Management Workshop in Beijing", co-organized by us and the University of International Business and Economics, is a major event in the three-year study of our students. During the workshop last year, renowned professors in China were invited to give lectures on the topics of Foreign Exchange Control and Asian Financial Crisis, Reforms of State-Owned Enterprises, China's Foreign Trade System, Development of Foreign Direct Investment, China's Political and Economic Environment, and Strategy of China's Economic Development. Accompanying the lectures were visits to companies including Shougang Cooperation and Beijing Matsushita Precision Capacitor Co. Ltd. (Panasonic). Furthermore, our students had the opportunity to meet and interact with business students in Beijing. All students had learned a lot in these activities.
Business Consultancy Experience in China
In the final semester of their three-year study, the China Business majors arranged a business consultancy in Guangdong Province. The consultancy, as a project of the course Managing Business Operations in China, aimed at gaining hands-on experience in administering Chinese enterprises. Four teams were formed, each was responsible for the diagnosis of one of the four enterprises. Each team spent several days at the enterprise, making observations of managerial problems. Based on these observations and other research conducted in the enterprise, each team came up with a detailed report on the performance of the enterprise and the problems it encountered, and proposed solutions to deal with each problem. This was a precious opportunity for students to practice what they had learned in the previous years. Most important of all, this experience could not acquired from textbooks.
