First, thank you to Jean (and her flatmates) for graciously letting Jon and me stay at their place in Beijing. It was fun meeting up with Jean's classmates for some Karaoke. Thank you also to David and Emma for showing us around a couple major historical sights and for introducing us to fantastic restaurants.
At this point I have finished all my classes in Shanghai, but CEIBS offers a special week of class (February 21-25) for its 1st years, specifically focused on business in China. These classes were optional for exchange students, but it was of interest to be since I came to China to learn about business in this part of the world. I missed the first couple of days because I was in Beijing, but I made it to four of the classes. I'll describe some of the insights I gained from these classes in the next few posts.
Between these classes I got to know one of the other exchange students who sat in on the same classes. It turns out that we are both eager to improve external relations among MBA programs. I explained that I led the efforts to organize a volunteer competition with Purdue and Notre Dame, which I hope will one day will include all the major MBA programs in the Midwest. He is working on a website where MBA students share information about interviews and compensation. It’s still in development, but I think it has potential to benefit MBA students around the world.
