长江03，04同学集体答疑－－让我们一起Chase dream

皮皮球

First of all, Gerry is a real GG, not MM.

I am also a member of CKMBA03. There are many concerns from the perspective MBAs with CKGSB.  I share some of my personel view point here.

To be a person, if you always ask that someone else to give you something, then the real problem is can you give something to others. Everyone want a big jump after MBA, though to be realitic, it's all depend on yourself. CKGSB give you add-value including networking, knowledge,  but everything still depended on yourself improvement. Asking one question to yourself, is MBA is really what you want, then start searching.

As a whole, CKGSB do has some differentiators with other schools in Mainland. About 50 peoples is really small group, warm and friendly like a family. For a startup school, the facility is really not good enough, but improved very quickly. We even took one module in rented classroom from the very beggining. But you can enjoy the lives with your buddies and do learn a lot from professors and especilly from your buddies. You need handle the piority of your time, learning. Life is hard everywhere, but it's life.

Enjoy the life in the school when you are growing up togater with the School. To be honest, if everything is certain, how many imagination you can have.

The school is really doing something especially in process improvement to fix some operation management issues. The business model is unique in Business School even it's none profit organization. The management of MBA is reorganized and I really appreciate the improvement and open mind air in the School.

For the placement, most of buddies working in the Manufacturing industry is just a mirror of the economy of China. About 3-4 peoples working in consulting function now. The function of our buddies are diversitied.  From my personal case, the salary increased by about 60%, not so much. But I really do something that I want to do now. It's acceptable.

I believe this school can grow fast in next several years although it is facing some difficulties now. So I always encourage others to apply for CK.

I really appreciate your details and attitude.

Best wish to CKGSB.~~~

Yes, I agree with Jerry, not only because you are my brother, but also because you said the truth.

CKGSB, just like an infant, needs concern and help, especially in the challenging environment in mainland China.

It says: it takes a rough sea to make an excellent captain! So who will the the captain? CEIBS? Or CKGSB? Who said there can be only one captain!!! We need a group of captains who can bring all elite Chinese forth into the complicated global context! So we need a fleet, CKGSB and CEIBS and more. Just see it, it is "C", it is made in China! So it is great even though the road is tough!

Hi all, thanks a lot for your precious advices to CK and kind supports to this thread!

I am here again to take questions of any kind and from any of you who is interested in knowing more about our school and program. I have to appologize in advance for that I may not be able to answer your questions in a timely manner. But do leave your concerns, doubts, and thoughts here. It is no doubt that you must have tons of them as CKGSB is such a young school that it has not established effective and stable channels to communicate itself to the general public.

To start with, I'd like to share with you my thoughts on the issue of CK professors' accent.

Yes, it's true that many CK professors have strong accent. The reason is simple - they are not native English speakers. But they have no problem teaching MBAs in english as this is what they have been doing in top US b-schools even long before they join CKGSB.

And I believe that most people here will not have difficulties understanding that the god damned tuition we paid was not for learning English. It was their unique thoughts and ideas that won them respects and reputations. It is also common for top US b-schools to hire none-native schoolars as their teaching faculty. Their accent did not prevent them from being elected for teaching awards.

Our IT professor, an MIT Doctor, who has a HongKong accent, is regarded as one of the most inspiring CK professors. In his IT classes, he did not talk much about technologies. He even refused to mention anything technical. He did not want us to get addicted to technology fantasies and forgot that what we realy needed was to dig out 'step by step' 'the nature of business'.

Another good exapmle is our professor Chen from Singapore, a current senior economist of World Bank. He was also a former senior consultant to Singapore government. Supported by his tons of data, charts and investgation reports, he painted us a vivid picture of evolution of China economy. You will not find his accent is a trouble. Other examples are also available but it won't be necessary to list them all.

And, it is also a good chance to practice as in the real world you will have more and more chances to have some one with strong accent as your future colleague, especially when you choose to join a European company in Shanghai.

But, it is also ture that you won't learn a thing if you can not understand a word! My suggestion to this is that do take the chance to join the test classes. Give it a try by youself. And, keep improve youself. It will only need a little bit of time for you to get used to one's accent if youself are really good.

所以，偶斗胆对长江有以下一条建议：

“信息公开正式化”

几乎每一家商学院都有一个惯常的正式的与公众沟通方法。
Information Session应该是必须的。
可惜，我只是在去年的TOP MBA TOUR上看到长江一次。
语言是苍白的。写在互联网的字是最苍白的，而且最容易造成误解。
为什么不去做一些正式的信息咨询会，走常规的程序来与公众交流，将长江的使命，长江的现状和长江的对学生的需求作一个系统的，坦诚布公的说明呢？可以使得以上第2种和第3种人会重新考虑，重新认识长江。

这不会花费很多时间和金钱，而且非常值的！

This is really a good suggestion. I didn't prepare for CKGSB because I feel difficult in finding the information I needed to evaluate the school and whether I am suitable for this school.

I am not saying that I am good enough to refuse CKGSB. I am saying that I don't have an inner impulsion to pursue CK because I know little information about it.

CKGSB WEB SITE UPDATED.

www.ckgsb.com

You can find more infomation than before about the MBA program.

Explaination, www.ckgsb.com, why end with .COM other than .EDU.CN or .EDU.

Because of the DNS authority regulation in China: one school need certain duration after founding to be authorised use the address ended with .edu.cn. CK is a start-up school from 2002. still in the duration.

Persprctive MBA buddies, please pay your attention on the CKGAB website. Even it is not so comprehensive today, I do believe that you will find more and more info about CK in the future. You will see the process improvement.
