CKGSB Europe

CKGSB, China's leading independent business school with campuses in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen is the only faculty governed Chinese business school to head West. CKGSB (Europe) opened in London in 2011 with the goal of transforming widely held opinions on working with China, to knowledge, as that is what will drive the new frontier of global business leaders. Today China symbolises both the opportunities and risks that global businesses face, but real knowledge and understanding of how to do business with China remains scarce. CKGSB however prides itself on being the only Chinese business school with a bicultural faculty, endowed the valuable capacity to interpret global business in the context of both China and the West, and thereby convey what global business leaders need to know. For the first time CKGSB is collaborating with top-ranked business school IMD to offer the ultimate Executive MBA, a unique programme created by drawing on the strengths and expertise of the two institutions. The CKGSB–IMD Dual Executive MBA is a rigorous, action-oriented degree programme that benefits individuals and organisations. The 20-month course starts in February 2015 and combines 11 weeks of face-to-face learning with distance learning. It has been designed for fast rising executives who want to create value for their organisations by mastering the art of global business in the 21st century. It will take participants beyond the basics of management, and bring about a deep understanding of the forces that will shape the business world of the future.
