Thank for your valuable inputs. I probably should just apply a INSEAD MBA program in Fontainebleau.

Someone told me that Booth brand is better in N. America, Europe, Asia and even China than Tsinghus/INSEAD. Do you agree?

如果你要创业的话，选择就近market的地方读书比较好

各位前辈:
我再追加点资料。请各位指教

Chicago Booth EMBA (Asia) has 15 classes in Singapore, 3 classes in Chicago/London. Tsinghua-INSEAD EMBA has 6 classes in Beijing, 3 classes in Singapore, and 2 in Dubai/France. Can you please give me some advice which MBA probably is the best choice if you were in my shoes? Your inputs are very important to me.

Some background about me: I am from China and have studied (B.Eng and M.Eng) and worked in Singapore for about 15 years in high tech R&D sector till now.

Here are my goals after graduation:

1. I plan to start up a high tech company based in China and Asia in 5 years.

2. If my start-up failed, I want to join a high tech company as director in China/Asia. If not possible, I may want to join a consultant company to work on management consultation in China/Singapore/Asia.

3. One thing I am clear. EMBA is not for switching field drastically. So I am unlikely to go into Finace sector.

Some of my thoughts:

1. For China network: it seems Tsinghua-INSEAD is better.

2. For branding, Chicago Booth has a better teaching faculty and 50 years history (while Tsinghua-INSEAD joined program is just 4 year old). Tsinghua EMBA is top in China but it is not known internationally. So the Tsinghua-INSEAD program is a bit riskier.

3, INSEAD and Chicago have the similar ranking (about top 5 in the world) in the MBA and EMBA categories.

4. I heard that the following comments on INSEAD vs Booth. Do you agree with them?

Entrepreneurship: INSEAD better;
Consulting/general management: INSEAD better;
International brand: Booth better; (but in China/Singapore Tsinghua-INSEAD’s brand is better)
Teaching: Booth better;
Finance: Booth better.
International network: INSEAD better

4. One thing in common, I will be bankrupt after either school (Tsinghua-INSEAD S$120,000, Chicago S$170,000). : P

Please shed some lights on it. I am looking forward to your advices. Thanks a lot.

Hi 慕容小强,
Why Remove Tsinghua is better?
So I should just study a INSEAD EMBA? Any reasons? Tsinghua network might be useful, right?

TrueNorth

我对清华 EMBA 了解不多。请各位多指点。
不过INSEAD 把清华INSEAD EMBA 当作一个CHINA focus 的项目。

EMBA的工作级别通常高出MBA一大截，但同时平均年龄也大出一截。顶起来，看有人了解没，如果都在新加坡读，INSEAD前边不用加Tsinghua可能对你还更有用。
