Last week, our Executive MBA students and Alumni had the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant business culture of China during our Study Week at Tongji University in Shanghai. Under the overarching theme "Understanding China," our students were provided with a solid theoretical foundation through lectures delivered by distinguished professors and executive alumni from Tongji University.
The week was packed with insightful content covering current trends and topics such as Sustainability, Strategic Approaches to Doing Business in the Chinese Market, Equity Investments in China, and the Role of Digitalization in China's Economy. Case study analyses deepened the understanding of these subjects.
Our schedule also included company visits across various industries, offering participants a firsthand look into local business practices. Highlights of these visits were our trips to Taicang, known as the "Hometown of German Companies in China," and a special reception as a German delegation at the Changshu Hi-Tech Zone.
The week was rounded off with two dinner events, providing ample time for networking against the backdrop of Shanghai’s stunning skyline.
We are thrilled that this intensive week offered so many valuable insights, impressions, and encounters for all participants and our cooperative partners. A cordial thank you to everyone involved, especially our partner, Tongji University, for hosting and enriching our understanding of China's dynamic business landscape.
