The CKGSB MBA program kicked off the 8th annual mentorship ceremony with a special ceremony at CKGSB’s Beijing campus this week.

Dean's Distinguished Chair Professor of Finance at CKGSB, Li Haitao, who is also Associate Dean of the school’s MBA Program, has been featured in leading Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald discussing the rise of MBA education in China and Asia.

Economy Chosun, one of Korea’s most prestigious economic and business news weeklies, has named CKGSB as one of the world’s top business schools in terms of the quality and innovation strategies of its MBA program. CKGSB was the only Chinese school named in the list, which the magazine compiled for its most recent cover story.

CKGSB’s MBA Program welcomes a fresh batch of students to its Oriental Plaza campus in the heart of downtown Beijing. Students joining the program from around the world will partake in a 14-month, intensive MBA program, leveraging CKGSB’s world-class teaching, profound China insight and one of the world’s most exclusive and prestigious alumni networks.

CKGSB’s Chair Professor Li Haitao analyzed why a foreign exchange crisis is unlikely to happen in China in an article in popular Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. Instead, he noted that economic fundamentals should be improved to overcome existing problems.

Special lectures on China’s economy were recently held in Seoul in front of 100 business leaders who are seeking opportunities in China’s extensive market. Professor Li Haitao and several alumni delivered special lectures as the CKGSB MBA program was introduced to aspiring Korean business leaders.

Speaking to CKGSB Professor of Marketing Sun Baohong at a Knowledge Series event in New York City, Columbia Business School Professor David Rogers said that traditional businesses seeking a digital-age makeover should first concentrate on changing their strategic thinking, not their technology.

CKGSB’s annual tradition continues as its MBA students are paired up for mentoring sessions with some of the world’s top business leaders.

“Our achievements are enormous, but we still have huge challenges ahead. As representatives of China’s business elite, how should we behave going forward?” This question is at the heart of a “new business civilization” advocated by CKGSB Founding Dean Xiang Bing. Declaring that “our responsibilities and talents, including our energy, progress, stability, strength, wisdom and sense of harmony, are increasingly important to business and societal developments,” Dean Xiang, Professor of China Business and Globalization, expressed his hopes for CKGSB alumni and students at the 2015 Fall Graduation and Opening ceremony.

CKGSB has hosted another successful visit to its Beijing campus from group of international students, this time from the prestigious Columbia Business School in New York City.

Reports claiming the end of growth in China are greatly exaggerated, according to two CKGSB professors. The potential of an advanced domestic financial sector mean that China's best days still lie ahead.

Early indications show that the Chinese government’s efforts to prop up the economy might be able to steer clear of the risks of the 2009 economic stimulus
