    We could go and talk to the leading European business schools, we could go and talk to the leading US business schools. But if you want to get a view on globalization through a China lens then it is much more valuable for our senior management to come to China to listen to the views of experts at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business because that gives us the perspective we need to make very important decisions around our business.

    One of CKGSB’s great strengths is that, being independent, it is able to project an objective view of what is happening in China. This makes for a well-rounded Executive Education experience.

    It is a daunting challenge for a business school to bring so many truly A-list business leaders together, but CKGSB has managed to hit another home run.
