About CUMBA
The Chinese University of Hong Kong MBA Programmes 20102
Welcome to CUMBA
The recent financial turmoil and the rise of emerging economies have
revealed two key global trends: the growing importance of Asia, China
in particular, in the global arena; and the instrumental role of corporate
social responsibility (CSR) for sustainable development. Steeped in the
unprecedented economic development of China and Asia while engaging
in teaching and research partnership globally, the Faculty of Business
Administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong provides an excellent
platform to equip global business leaders for the challenges ahead.
Being the first MBA program in Hong Kong and one of the first two business
schools outside North America to be accredited by AACSB International,
our MBA programme has a strong global focus. Over the years, we have
successfully placed students in multinational corporations such as Credit
Suisse, IBM, LVMH and Mizuho Corporate Bank. More than 80% of our full-
time students come from outside of Hong Kong. Our dual degree offerings
with University of Texas, Austin and HEC, Paris and extensive exchange
opportunities with top business schools around the world further enhance
students’ international experience.
With our strong focus on China and deep roots in the region, the MBA
curriculum offers unique opportunities to gain China business insight through
specialized courses in China marketing and finance, as well as study trips to
the mainland. Students will also benefit from our extensive network of more
than 17,000 alumni around the world. Our partnership programmes with top
mainland universities such as Tsinghua University, which cover all the four
key regions in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Xian and Guangzhou/Shenzhen),
also provide our students with unparalleled opportunities to network with
top executives in China.
The volatile situation of the world economy since last year reinforces our
belief that socially responsible business leaders are the key to sustainable
development and business success. Every year, our MBA students will run a
student-led Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Conference. The event aims
to advocate the importance of CSR, tackle major obstacles and share good
CSR practices among corporations, NGOs and the academic community.
Through this major event and other CSR-driven initiatives, we devoted to
develop among our students a good sense of corporate citizenship, which in
turn, integrated into the corporations that they serve.
Business is all about leadership, innovation and achievements. We demonstrate
the essence of these through continuous advancement of the MBA programmes.
I sincerely invite you to join us and enjoy this extraordinary and rewarding
venture.

This meaningful and totally student organized event has now become a tradition since its first launch
in 2007. The Conference, with the dual aims of promoting corporate social responsibility to local
corporations as well as preparing the MBA students to become socially responsible business leaders,
has met with great responses each year.
For the third year in a row, the CUMBA CSR Conference 2009 was held at The Hong Kong Convention
& Exhibition Cener in May. It was organized by full-time and part-time MBA students working hand-
in-hand together. This year's conference, titled "Creating Sustainable Impact - CSR as a Competitive
Edge", featured Sir Robert Swan, a world-renowned polar explorer as its keynote speaker. His insights
and inspirational words for this new generation of business leaders were continuously applauded by
the audience. The event has attracted good attendance of corporate executives and the public alike.

Anand GopalakrishnanDeutsche Post World Net (DPWN) in Bonn, Germany
"I am pleased to share about my internship now in Bonn. It is a small city and I stay at a hotel about 40 mins walk from the Post Tower. This “walking” time which I usually do in the morning and evening does help me in getting some exercise I really needed! There are around 20 interns here in Bonn with mixed nationalities. They include Uruguayan, Peruvian, French-Spanish, Indians, Chinese, Russian and Americans. Life here is good and I am enjoying it! The MBA networking event was good and interactive too. On the first day I went to the office, I was in a department meeting for the quarterly Freight Sales briefing. Though it was difficult to digest all the things on that day, I was able to gather some useful pointers and information about what was happening in Freight Sales! I was also introduced to all the people in different departments including my mentor and project manager."

"One month has quickly passed since I became an MBA intern working in the Consumer Product Department (DCP) of The Walt Disney Company (Shanghai) Limited. Disney is a very warm big family, with 300 employees working together at Shanghai office. I enjoy life here every day. I am working for both the Finance Director and the Marketing Director, to help Disney DCP formulate more precise and viable marketing strategies by conducting a wide range of economic and industry analysis. Disney gives me good opportunity to learn how licensing business works, which is quite different from most consumer goods companies operating here in China."

in many leading institutions there. Today, we are the leader in China business research and we have over 1000
MBA alumni working and living in China. Business leaders from various local and multinational organizations
with a presence in China regularly visit The Chinese University of Hong Kong to share their insights on this
huge market with our students.

Forum on "Globalization - The
Challenges & Opportunities of
Corporate Governance in China"
held by the Faculty of Business
Administration, The Chinese
University of Hong Kong in 2008.
Prof. Liu Mingkang, Chairman,
China Banking Regulatory Commission
The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the
first university in Hong Kong to offer joint MBA
programmes with a Mainland institution. We started
our MBA in Finance with Tsinghua University in
Beijing back in 2000.
Since then, this flagship programme has nurtured
over 600 business executives in the Mainland with
many of whom holding key positions in the financial
service industry in China.
In 2004, the Faculty of Business Administration of
CUHK forged a strategic partnership with the Shanghai
National Accounting Institute to provide world class
accounting and finance education in the greater
China region and provide opportunities for local and
Mainland accounting and finance professionals to
learn and grow. Upon completion of the programme,
participants are awarded both a Master of Accountancy
degree by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a
CFO Professional Certificate by the Shanghai National
Accounting Institute. As the only programme outside
of Mainland China offering the CFO professional
certificate, our graduates enjoy a competitive advantage
no other local institute can deliver.

Courses
Medium of Instruction
All MBA courses are taught in English.
Methods of Instruction
Individual faculty members have primary
responsibility for choosing the most effective
course materials and method of teaching in
realizing course objectives. Common methods
include lectures, discussions, case analyses,
seminars, gaming models, and directed research.
In addition, students conduct plant tours, surveys,
and field work, and local businessmen are invited
to give guest lectures or lead class discussions.
The case analysis method is used extensively
where appropriate. Students analyze, evaluate,
and formulate decisions for business situations
on the basis of the knowledge that they have
acquired or are learning. Usually, students are
required to make oral presentations on the
case and/or prepare written analyses, and case
materials are often used as the basis for course
examinations. Regardless of what course materials
or delivery methods faculty members adopt, they
aim to achieve a balance between theory and
practice, with a clear emphasis on relevance.
Core Courses
Core courses provide a foundation in the functional/specialized areas of business. Our core courses cover
Management Competencies and Current Perspectives, Corporate Financial Reporting, Contemporary
Management Accounting, Macroeconomics for Business Executives, Statistical Analysis, Strategic Information
Systems, Operations Management, Managerial Economics, Financial Management Organizational Behaviour,
Marketing Management and Strategic Management.
Electives
Students are given the opportunity to customize your program of study through a wide range of elective
courses. We offer more than 30 elective courses a year. Some sample electives are as follows:

fully repaid. (Information as at August 12, 2009)
In addition, the CUMBA Alumni Association provides funds for supplementary
