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.

MBA students to apply what they have learned in the classroom

to solve real-world business problems. Students with different

nationalities and background are encouraged to form teams to

undertake business consulting projects under the supervision of

a full-time faculty member.

In 2008, our students were invited to work on strategic projects

from firms from retail and major investment banks to technology

start-ups. Projects covered issues such as market entry strategies

and brand positioning research.

Overseas Business Plan Competitions

Joining Business Plan Competitions is an excellent way to polish

your business skills and to hone your entrepreneurship spirit.

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."

Evonne Qin The Walt Disney Company (Shanghai) Limited in Shanghai, China

"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."

CUMBA China Story


ExpertiseinChina

In 1990, a new chapter began for CUMBA as we welcomed our first mainland student. Since then we have

developed profound relationships and connections in China.

Many of our faculty members conduct extensive research into China business and receive invitations to teach

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.

In summary, CUMBA has:

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:
