以下是引用jiazhe在2005-8-13 17:47:00的发言: I am an alumi of PKU, graduated in the year 2001. I am personally so proud of CCER and Bimba, even if it is associated with Fordham. As is known to all, China is short of world-class MBA programs, including Guang Hua and Qing Hua. Then why not learn from US counterparts? Harvard, Yale, Stanford? No, they will not demean themselves to be associated with PKU. Rank 17? Even Beida Students consider it nonsense. Within Beida, everbody knows CCER have a much better MBA program than Guanghua, believe it or not. Do you know how many Beida students go back to Guanghuang to pursue MBA? Do you know how many go back to Bimba? If you don't know the number, please just shut up.
1: This statement can't be true: "Within Beida,...."
Please ask Guanghua executive associate dean Zhang, Weiyin what he thinks of BIMBA and how it compares with Guanghua MBA. He would certainly disagree with you and he is at Beida right now!
2. Even Guanghua is talking with Duke U about collaborations and that implies that PKU does have a good brand name and top schools in US are willing to work with PKU.
3. The reason BIMBA is associated with Fordham is very complicated. PKU deserves a much better partner and can. Look at Tsinghua, its partner is MIT. It has more to do with politics. Here is the story. When Lin Yifu, graduated from Chicago in the eighties, he wanted to go to Beida. However, he can't get a job in Beida because the local people in the economics department won't let him. I guess Professor Lin would make people in the economics department feel uneasy. So Professor Lin has to set up a center called CCER and he got some funds. In a few years, these funds ran out and CCER needed money. To make money, they started this BIMBA program, which is probably illegitimate as Beida already has a business school called Guanghua. Nevertheless, CCER went along and partnered up with Fordham because it did not have the support of the University.
4. BIMBA is in a awkard situation and I really sympathize with Lin Yifu. One way out would be to merge it with Guanghua. This will make it using the PKU brand openly and have better partners. Politically, it may not be easy. However, it is really odd for so many different schools, centers and departments to run MBA programs in Beida. I heard that the economics school also has its own kind of executive education training programs. These sort of things will ruin the reputation of Beida.
