CKGSB is China's first private, not-for-profit and independent business school, established in November 2002 with generous sponsorship from the Li Ka-shing Foundation. In just nine years, CKGSB has established itself as the leading business school in China, with our world-class faculty, unsurpassed insights into the global ramifications of the rise of China and Chinese businesses, as well as our unrivaled alumni network and strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.

The foremost objective of the CKGSB MBA Program is to develop a new generation of business leaders, uniquely equipped to both thrive in and contribute to the dynamism and complexity of the current world economy. With China's rapid rise continuing to provide unprecedented opportunities and challenges for businesses on the global stage, our program is designed and delivered by an outstanding faculty with unmatched knowledge of the Chinese market. Our team includes many full-time professors from top-notch schools such as Wharton, Stanford, Columbia, Yale, INSEAD and others. CKGSB is also consistently the choice of internationally top-ranked business school partners such as Columbia, IMD, and UCLA. With its strong commitment to both teaching and research, CKGSB has been at the cutting edge of understanding and analyzing Chinese businesses and their role in the global marketplace since its founding.

CKGSB also prides itself on our distinct school philosophy and culture. The school's Chinese alumni network is one of the most influential and tight-knit in the world, claiming myriad top business leaders across diverse fields among the 5,000 graduates of our MBA, EMBA, and Executive Education programs. Moreover, the school places great emphasis on active and sustained social responsibility. CKGSB alumni giving to the Sichuan earthquake relief in 2008 alone totaled approximately RMB 400 million, accounting for 7% of all institutional giving in China, and represented the number one contributing group in Sichuan earthquake relief efforts. We are furthermore unusual in the prominence we give to the complementary benefits of the humanities, actively incorporating select humanities courses into our curriculum. CKGSB’s MBA program is thus carefully tailored to equip students with not only top-tier technical expertise and resources, but also a deeper, more holistic sense of corporate integrity and socio-cultural awareness — all of which we firmly believe will be crucial for the next generation of genuinely world-class leaders.

I encourage you to explore our website and learn more about our school. The CKGSB MBA is truly one-of-a-kind. It is a wonderful choice for those who are looking for a program that offers all of the following: access to the latest in-depth research and insights on Chinese business within a global context, an unsurpassed alumni network, and an intellectually and personally stimulating overall experience. Indeed, I firmly believe that those who choose CKGSB will find their time here deeply enriching on many levels.
