| MBA Connect Story: From Taiwan to Hong Kong and from Banking to Consulting
| |
Yi-Ting Wang (Full-Time, Class of 2015) Senior Consultant, Sia Partners
| |
Hong Kong has always been one of the world’s major financial hubs with a mix of Asian cultures and connection to the Western market. It has therefore naturally become Yi-Ting’s top choice to do her MBA in Hong Kong because she knew this is the place where she wanted to start her career and she can leverage on her Chinese background whilst maintaining a good bridge to the western world. The extensive alumni network, its history and reputation were all the other pull factors.

Atsushi Sugiyama is a rare gem. He started off as a general staff at the automotive business division of Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan. An opportunity arose where he was seconded to Thailand to be in charge of the local marketing and supply chain team, where he also completed a Thai language course. For Atsushi, despite being able to learn and experience a lot as well as getting a good understanding of Thailand, it was a tough experience for him. He was increasingly frustrated by the hierarchy and bureaucracy of large corporations.

| Earning an MBA Degree the Flexible Way
| |
| Flex mode MBA is a new way of doing a part-time MBA course with a combination of online courses and face-to-face lectures. It is a great alternative for busy professionals who have demanding work schedules and other commitments but at the same time, wanting to pursue academic excellence with practical learning experience that could help take their career to the next level.
One might ask how achievable and manageable is that? We spoke to 2 current part-time MBA students to find out how this all worked out for them.

| Experiential Learning Through Visits @Shanghai Career Trek
| |
A sizeable group of 35 MBA students went on a fruitful 4-day career trek to Shanghai from 4th to 7th March. There were a number of company visits and the purpose of this trip was to expand students’ network for possible job opportunities, build knowledge around the area of interests and to help fortify the CUHK School brand in China. Our students were busy absorbing business knowledge and strategies on one hand and making new connections on the other. On the lighter side, there were also sightseeing tours near The Bund and Hangzhou West Lake!

There is no better way to get to know and learn from real-life CEOs than to dine with them! The “Dine with CEOs” series was held between March and April where 4 prominent CEOs were invited to dine with our MBA students. The privileged few got exceptional opportunities to meet and dine with Ms Cally Chan, General Manager of Microsoft Hong Kong, Dr Anna Yip, CEO at SmarTone Communications, Mr Paul Chan GBM, GBS, MH, JP, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government and Mr Albert Ng, Chairman, Greater China at EY on separate occasions. It was an awesome learning experience for our students as they gained valuable insights from these successful alumni through conducive sharings of their journey and views on a range of topics.

China Business Knowledge @ CUHK Luncheon Series: Risk Management of Invisible Risks
| |
At our next China Business Knowledge @ CUHK Luncheon Series on 9 May, Prof. Michael Zhang, Associate Dean (Innovation and Impact) and Associate Director of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Finance Research Centre, will share his research on managing risks. In social and economic settings, we often do not know the distribution of events. Even if we know the historical distribution of market returns, there is no way to be sure that the distribution of future returns will remain the same. Prof. Zhang will reveal that uncertainty can be decomposed into pure risk (outcome uncertainty), pure ambiguity (distribution uncertainty), and their interactions. With decades of experiences in risk assessment, alumnus Mr. Patrick Ip will share his insights on the practical measures we can take to minimise potential risks, with real-life examples of past black swan events.
Date: 9 May 2019 (Thursday)
Time: 12:00 noon – 1:45pm (12:00 noon – 12:30pm registration and networking. (Light refreshments will be served.)
Venue: CUHK Business School Town Centre, Unit B, 1/F, Bank of America Tower, 12 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong Kong
Fees: HK$150 (for CUHK Business School alumni and students); HK$200 (per participant)
