On the evening of September 6, members of the CKGSB community gathered in London with top members of the European business, government and non-profit communities to celebrate the school's official entry into the European market.

Watch the video below for key moments from the ceremony at Spencer House, just a few blocks from CKGSB's London office on St James's Square.
Watch a video summary below of a mini-lecture about the business implications of social media in China that CKGSB Professor of Marketing and Associate Dean for Global Programs delivered to the audience at the launch ceremony. Professor Sun is just one of the many highly-talented CKGSB faculty members who together comprise China's top business faculty.
For more background about the launch ceremony, please read the following piece from the October issue of CKGSB magazine:
CKGSB Goes West
"The emphasis thus far in business education has been what the West can export to the East -and China has perhaps been too modest about its own role as a creator and disseminator of knowledge," said Sir Victor Blank, Business Ambassador for UK Trade and Investment, at CKGSB's ceremonial launch in Europe on the evening of September 6th. "CKGSB is at the leading edge of this movement."
CKGSB's official entry into the European market was a crucial milestone in the school's globalization. Such endorsements from Sir Victor, among other high-level business leaders, politicians and nonprofit representatives, were key to ensuring that CKGSB came to Europe with strong support.
With the launch of the London office, CKGSB's goal in the European market is to broaden the reach of its executive education programs, and eventually, to offer globally focused degree programs in Europe. It does so with an eye towards filling knowledge deficits in the West about Asia and emerging markets-thereby contributing to a global business environment of mutual cooperation, respect and prosperity.
Speakers at the launch ceremony praised CKGSB's mission of bridging gaps in knowledge and culture in today's shifting global economic order-especially with regard to China, the largest emerging power of all. The speakers included Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint, UK Minister of State for Trade and Investment; Lord Patten of Barnes, Chairman of the BBC; Liu Xiaoming, Chinese Ambassador to the UK; and Solina Chau, Director of the Li Ka Shing foundation.
"The role of business schools in general is much more complex, much more subtle, much broader than it used to be, as they seek to train the leadership of today and indeed the leadership of tomorrow,"noted Lord Green in his address.
Liu stated of the European launch ceremony that, "What we witness today is a new milestone in commercial and educational cooperation between China and Europe." He went on to say that CKGSB has, "every potential to become a thought leader in China-Europe business cooperation."
Solina Chau and CKGSB Dean Xiang Bing laid forth CKGSB's vision of a sustainable and socially responsible future. "If entrepreneurs see the creation of social value as equally important to the creation of wealth, they can develop innovative solutions to global problems," said Chau.
In his speech, Dean Xiang stated, "We're concerned with far more than just how to make more money. We're concerned about the issue of why we do business in the first place."
The high-caliber speakers were matched by the audience. A group of 40 CKGSB EMBA students in attendance comprised an impressive showing of current and up-and-coming Chinese business leaders from a range of industries. Among the European business leaders in the audience, several, such as Sir Victor, were also incoming members of CKGSB's newly formed European Advisory Board.
