EMBA further integrates research and field studies on cutting-edge topics into its curriculum, such as digitalization, smart manufacturing, green economy, biology and healthcare and technology, in response to senior business leaders’ need to make more informed strategic decisions.

Various overseas modules extend the global reach of the program, benefiting from the school’s partnerships with over 40 top universities and institutions worldwide, such as the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics, NYU Stern School of Business and Harvard Kennedy School.

Raising Responsible Business Leaders

The EMBA program aims to cultivate socially-minded business leaders who embrace ESG. Since 2021, EMBA students at CKGSB must complete a mandatory Social Innovation and Business for Good Field Course, during which they design ESG into their business strategy with the support of mentors. More than 2,800 EMBA students so far have completed the course and, collectively, conducted 1,064 ESG projects in their companies. Many turned their projects into a new competitive edge for their businesses.
