This program explores the rapid transition of business institutions in China with emphasis placed on how this makes doing business in China much different from doing business in western, developed economies. In terms of International management, we will pay particular attention to the cultural and institutional aspects of doing business and China and how they are undergoing rapid transformation. We will also put emphasis on China's new push towards "moving up the value chain" and "moving from imitation to creativity" in hopes of establishing a higher value-added economy. In this regard, we will be looking at attempts by Universities and Policy makers in China to make the new economy more entrepreneurial and creative. Thus, we will have lectures on entrepreneurship and visit business incubators and startups. In that regard, we will visit universities, cultural and tourist sites as well as existing companies and new ventures. We will collaborate with and give presentations to local students in Hong Kong. For more information, view the program presentation. For a full description and to access application instructions, visit OIED's On-line program brochure.
