Cornell's Johnson School of Business is currently in town on a one week tour of our school and the city of Shanghai. This is a great opportunity for our American counterparts to learn about the Cheung Kong MBA program and interact with our students. At the same time, our students can learn about the latest Western management theories and trainings from one of the top business schools in the world.
I think inbound exchange programs such as this provides an excellent platform for the two schools involved to work with one another and exchange ideas. With advancements in communication technology and rapid transportation, the world is getting smaller and smaller, propelling local businesses to go global. Future business leaders must learn to step outside of their circle and look at opportunities beyond the borders of their nationality. In a few short years race, distance, language, and culture will no longer be considered a barrier in the business world. All you need is ambition and a creative mind.
