HEC Opens New EMBA Programme in Shanghai
from FT.com
Hot on the heels of its successful EMBA programme in Beijing, HEC School of Management Paris is to expand its activities in China with the launch of a second EMBA in Shanghai.
The new programme will start next March and is being offered in partnership with the training centre of the National Development and Reform Commission.
This latest EMBA will be aimed at select senior managers, largely from the private sector, and will look at market-focused themes and general management. The programme will be taught in English by HEC faculty.
The new partnership will give HEC Paris the opportunity to engage in China-relevant research.
Bernard Ramanantsoa, dean of HEC Paris, says that the new EMBA demonstrates the school’s global reach and is a strategic expansion of HEC’s international portfolio.
HEC launched its EMBA programme in Beijing almost two years ago, under the auspices of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China (Sasac). The Sasac-HEC EMBA programme has been designed to enhance the technical and leadership skills of Chinese executives, mainly from state-owned enterprises.
The NDRC - a macro-economic management agency - is keen to repeat the success of the Beijing programme.
