Real value of an MBA in China from wisepowder's blog

While you can get a new job and a higher salary out of most MBA programs, studying an MBA in China offers something that schools in the US and Europe can’t: Direct access to the world’s fastest-growing economy.To get more news about business school in China, you can visit acem.sjtu.edu.cn official website.

In China, students get access to a changing business environment, where schools focus chiefly on technology and entrepreneurship, and, with Chinese business society’s strong reliance on personal relationships, where building a network during your MBA really matters.

Doing an MBA in China is a way for professionals to get their feet in the door of Chinese firms. Antai, for example, is partnered with organizations like Ant Financial, the world-leading financial technology company, and the Bank of China.

MBA students at the school get to network with senior executives and attend major events like the Antai Symphony summit, where business leaders discuss the latest developments in fintech and mobile payments.

As the Chinese government invests abroad and Chinese companies like Alibaba and Huawei become global behemoths, knowledge of China has also become importance wherever you work. While Chinese business schools have traditionally struggled to attract international students, they are growing increasingly diverse.According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), 41% of MBA programs in China saw growth in international applications in 2019, with a further 23% reporting stable international applications.

Antai is the school with the most international MBA students in mainland China (43% of the MBA class), according to the FT. Chinese schools also have a strong representation of women on their MBA programs. 51% of MBA students at Antai are women and 35% of faculty are women.

It’s one reason why international students like Anais Pothon, a Shanghai Jiao Tong University Antai MBA student from France (pictured), choose to study in China. After her MBA, she landed a job at IMA Asia in Shanghai, a company that brings together peer groups of CEOs and business leaders in Asia.

“Studying an MBA [in Shanghai] gave me a China-based network and strong friendships, and I would never have my current job if it wasn’t for my MBA,” Anais says.
