Dear Shanghai international network, to anyone considering full time or executive (part time) MBA 🎓 📢 Spoiler alert: this is a shameless plug about how undertaking post-graduate management studies or executive training at CEIBS MBA or GEMBA can help broaden your horizons, expand your China connections, deepen your understanding of the world’s second largest economy 🌏. 🎧This new podcast series comes highly recommended. Congrats William Hubbard and guests. ☁️ We also host an open Knowledge sharing group : 250+ key reports on China economy, regularly updated. PM to join 🙋: it’s free and open to non-alumni (friends of CEIBS). —— CEIBS, 10 yrs on —— As a former student and elected member of China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) council at the International Alumni Club — I got to spend a decade of my career working in/with China at its turning point, from its global e-commerce boom & digital transformation in the 2010s through Covid-induced border closures and lockdowns in the 2020s. ⌛️10 years later: key take aways? A better informed, nuanced view over the country? Insights into its unique digital & tech ecosystem? Perspectives over its strategic importance in global supply chains? Future GDP growth scenarios? Acceptance of our “place” as foreigners in this civilisation? 🤔️ —— International careers in/with China —— 🙏 CEIBS opened doors to employers such as: Fosun 复星 , Alibaba.com ，Ant International where foreign employees gain exposure to the inner workings of modern china, diving in from the deep end. 🌿 What about Entrepreneurship? Also grateful to have had a great launchpad when I took to operating a startup over 3 years, launching a cross-border Consulting platform with Talmix , in partnership with WeWork Labs. 🚀 CEIBS platform and ecosystem were also foundational when setting up my independent consultancy, working with founders and management teams of Digital, E-commerce, Creative & Tech services on B2B Go To Market, cross-border Partnerships and M&A. Shanghai was the right place to work as the China-based consultant with M&A advisory firms based in London, HK, Singapore, Sydney or NYC. —— Int’l Diversity within China and beyond —— Whilst many global business schools boast ever larger intake of Chinese students on campuses across North America, UK & Europe, MENA, SE Asia .. CEIBS may be the only global business school educating foreign talent about China 💡, grooming Female Leadership, led by a Chinese Female President, in keeping with the school motto ： 🈴️ “China depth, Global breadth” — it takes both sides to bridge cultural gaps. 🤝 CEIBS onboards foreigners every year into 30-40% foreign 60-70% Chinese cohorts. 🎯 The result is a 30,000+ alumni body with a major focus on Doing Business (globally) with China. Unparalleled in any chamber of commerce, think tank, or other bschool. Few China-based campuses have done this at scale, with consistency and purpose/mission/dedication.
