Pre-trip Activities for “Spring Special Trip to Osaka”

In April 2017, MBA Office is going to organize “Spring Special Trip to Osaka April 2017”. The aim of this tour is to let students experience Japanese business environment and local traditions with company visits, appreciation of Cherry Blossom, cultural activities and so on.

Before the amazing trip, we prepared following pre-trip activities for those participants to better understand Japanese cultures:

Peach Aviation Talk (27 March)

We are honored to have Mr. Victor Chu, Chairman of First Eastern Investment Group, a leading Hong Kong-based international investment firm and a pioneer of private equity investments in China to share about “Peach Aviation – A Story of Contrarian Disruption” with our MBA students. Through his excellent connection, Mr. Chu has kindly arranged a visit to Osaka’s Peach Aviation Head Office for our students cum a sharing session with senior executives to discuss about the company’s management vision and global expansion strategy in our forthcoming trip.

Mr. Chu gave students a very inspiring and interesting history and background leading to the creation of Peach Aviation by First Eastern and ANA. Our students were amused with the insightful sharing by Mr. Chu.

Basic Japanese Language Class (25 March)

CUHK MBA Japan Club held a Basic Japanese Language Class for those joining the Osaka trip. The club committee taught the members about some basic Japanese like ‘Where is the hotel’, ‘How can I go to the shop’, ‘Where is the restaurant’ and ‘I want to go to the airport’, etc. After the class, students enjoyed the sushi gathering and also communicated with each other in Japanese learned from the class.
