MBAs Who Understand the PRC

Check out this self-explanatory CNN article on the importance and value of MBAs who understand China and Asia. It made me feel good to see that on this particular educational market development, the Orfalea College of Business is ahead of the curve.

See also this recent Business Week article, China’s B-School Boom, that I thought offered insight into some of the pros and cons of obtaining an MBA within China. As an educator and former director of an MBA program, I can relate to some of the issues the Chinese are struggling with.

See also this recent CNBC article, Wharton Grads Head to Far East for Jobs and this Business Week article, Chinese Business Schools Hit Their Stride.

Prof. Carr addendum: But for a different take and swing the other way in the market, see this related post I also made, As They Say … In China, Everything Is Possible. But Nothing Is Easy.

The Impact of China’s Emergence on Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Financing

I found this 4 minute podcast by Asher Epstein, managing director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, to be interesting. He discusses how China’s emergence has impacted entrepreneurship, particularly in the greater Washinton D.C. area. Having now travelled to China, you should now be in a much better position to critique the accuracy of his statements, which ones are overbroad or right on the mark, etc.
