Having an excellent command of English in speaking, reading, listening, and
writing is critical to a MBA student as long as he wants to become an
internationalized entrepreneur and doesn’t want to miss the huge potential of business opportunities in the cooperation with any company from
English-speaking countries.
And since MBA projects have been far more developed in US and European
countries than in China, an English proficiency will definitely be of a great
help to the understanding and learning of advanced theories and practices in business administration.
Do you know something about the development of China’s MBA projects? Can
you give any suggestions on the room for improvement of China’s MBA
China began to participate in MBA programs since the early 1980s’ mainly through cooperation with US and European business schools. And from
1990s’, China began to establish the degree of MBA projects.
Suggestions for improvement:
Localization of MBA projects, especially focus on the establishment of our own
case bank.
Market-orientation. China is in great need of executives who are technically sound in the fields of IT, finance, and accounting and who have a thorough command of management theories and good communication skills and
strategic viewpoints.
More attention should be drawn to the education of CTOs and CFOs besides the traditional education of CEOs.
In China, apart from CTOs, we are in great need for CFOs, those who knows the operation of capital markets as well as the general management
knowledge because the biggest challenges for enterprises in China are how to finance a company and how to handle the risky capital markets.
What is CFO and the related responsibilities?
CFO is the abbreviated form of Chief Financial Officer, who is the most
important and valuable position of management in modern enterprises
besides CEO.
Responsibilities for CFO: handle various financial relations especially relations
with the investors (investment financing), with governments (taxation, and bond supervision), and strategic business planning, and human resources
management.
A CFO will direct the department of planning, department of finance,
department of operational management, department of ERP and department of H.R.
In other words, CFO is responsible for all the departments except departments
of production and sales.
We should lay more emphasis on the education and training of CFO.
Relationship between CEO and CFO
CEO is the one who make decisions on the long-term objectives or missions for
a company, while CFO is the one who make those ambitions and long-term planning into concrete, operable strategies especially the financial strategies. And not only that, CFO is the person who actually assesses the fulfillment of the objectives. So the harmonious cooperation between CEO and CFO in a company is critical.
What's the difference between MBA program at home and abroad? (又一个扯扯问题!都可成篇论文了)
China’s MBA projects are lagging behind their counterparts abroad in the
following respects:
Teachers and teaching facilities
At abroad: Doctoral degree is a must for teachers in universities, and for those who teach in business schools. They have to have obtained professional
education in business and management, some with educational background in economics and other pertinent sciences. And most of them have direct or indirect experience of business administration and they keep a close contact with enterprises through consulting services or research projects. So they can
combine those management theories with enterprise practices which is quite advantageous to the MBA education.
At home: We have teachers without doctoral degrees at our business schools, teachers without professional business or management background, and
teachers lacking practical understanding of how an enterprise is actually
operated.
Source of students
At abroad: basically, all students applying for MBA education come from
enterprises and they intend to continue their career in enterprises when they finished their MBA study. They are people with highest potentials to become excellent businessmen or businesswomen.
At home: we have a more complex source of students. A large part of enrolled students are not from enterprises which means they have no former business experience. Although some are excellent people they simply need longer
period to become entrepreneurs. Some choose to enter governments and intuitions after their MBA education which goes against the overall objectives of MBA programs.
System of managing MBA education
At abroad: business schools have self-decision-making for their MBA projects,
such as the scale of recruitment, tuitions and way of hiring teachers. The high autonomy enables them to develop fast and obtain special features of their own.
At home: Universities have little independence and it’s even worse when it comes to business schools. All the above-mentioned decisions are made
under a planning system which consequently affects the quality of MBA
programs.
Teaching methods
At abroad: besides the traditional ways of teaching, that is lecture and case
study, there are many kinds of different ways of education for example, field projects, group projects decision by computer simulation, guest speech ,
project study, consulting reports , role plays, discussions and seminars, action learning, debates, internships, study trips, student presentation, problem
solving and experiential exercises.
At home : our teaching methods are rather limited.
