no interest in putting down CEIBS. Just pointing out the differences in style among various schools. You may say that HKUST, CKGSB, SAIF are more US type while CEIBS is more Spanish type.
CEIBS does have a few stellar faculties, for example, Huang Ming in Finance and Chiang Jeongwen in Marketing. However, they lost lots of top talent too. Chang Chun and Chen Hong went to SAIF. Katherine Xin went to IMD and Sam Park went to a top Russian school.
HBS associate dean is not a big deal in HBS. Star professors do not want to be deans in the US. Professor Quelch gets more respect as a Professor rather than Associate Dean and he is a pretty good old school marketing professor. Check his publications, he is on par with Chiang but Chiang is younger.  ublications are more important than titles
There are lots of Spanish professors but also Europeans. Spanish is the largest group among Europeans:
There are four conditions foTsinghua SEM to become a top business school:
1. SEM must be financially independent and does not pay a tax to the University 2. SEM is able to hire top scholars world wide with market based compensation. 3. Different areas can have different scales of pay for faculties 4. SEM can design its curriculum independent of Ministry of Education
Otherwise, with 1/5 of the market compensation, Tsinghua will be hard put to get top scholars to join except probably economists whom Tsinghua is able to match as economists are not paid well in the US either.
Without these changes, there is no way for Tsinghua to move ahead. The same thing applies to other areas. The key to the success of the Old Tsinghua sixty years ago was its faculty independence. Without that, Tsinghua will always be second rate in terms of its scholarship.
