China's lack of world-class MBA training

China has drawn up an ambitious science and technology development plan, plans to 2020, its science and technology research and development expenditure in the gross domestic product (GDP) ratio in 2005 from 1.3% to 2.5%, more than the OECD (OECD) countries are currently 2.3% the average level. However, the technology to increase R & D spending into solid scientific and technological innovation and intellectual property, only first-class laboratories and research personnel is not enough, it is also necessary correct guidance of this funding process management expertise. However, China is the apparent lack of a world-class MBA training programs, the number of MBA graduates also lags far behind Europe and the United States.

Low levels of the Chinese MBA training

Currently, China's departments in charge of education approved by the Sino-foreign joint ventures MBA training dozens of projects, both in joint ventures in terms of curriculum and teacher share. However, these training programs with foreign second-class, third - or even fourth-MBA training projects than generally remained inadequate. In fact, the "Financial Times" the world's 30 global MBA training institutions were not strong joint venture established in China with training projects.

As of the beginning of this century, China's first-class all public business school has established its own international MBA training programs. At the beginning of the establishment of these training programs in almost all non-full-time.

Full-time teaching so that students can have more time to digest the course content, attended by the chief executive of their enterprises as a forum for speakers, and students to share each other's experiences and cultivate team spirit and to promote friendship with the students. Recently, one pair of 705, in a survey conducted by the multi-national corporations, which are China's non-full-time MBA students can do.

As profit-oriented training projects usually can not eliminate those students with poor results, rather than full-time teaching often can not guarantee that students get a good grade, so such training projects more likely to create low-quality graduates.

EMBA snatched away the best teacher

In 2002, the Ministry of Education approved 30 public universities domestic business school opened EMBA courses, allowing them to all trainees receive 200,000 yuan (about 25,000 dollars) more than the tuition fees, this figure is several times more than MBA tuition. The reasons for the high charges, the Ministry of Education, 30% of the requirements from the EMBA courses in teaching overseas in the EMBA teachers teaching, 50% of the EMBA courses need a doctorate from the teachers teaching, 80% of the EMBA courses have business experience needed by the people who teach.

Long term, the introduction of EMBA courses will help these public universities Business School, raising the quality of teachers and courses with access to such profits to subsidize MBA project. In fact, a well-known business school, a capital subsidy to enjoy the MBA project is very necessary, regardless of what channels from the subsidies. However, short term, the project launched EMBA plundered items from the best MBA teaching force. From launched EMBA, low-quality projects MBA graduates (both from the public universities have training institutions from the Sino-foreign joint ventures) massive flooding the market, enterprises were recruited staff and the media criticism.

Cross-cultural background is very short of talent

If the independent schools and universities in China-foreign cooperation sponsoring the autumn and spring MBA MBA MBA and other projects, statistics, China's total annual intake of about 25,000 MBA students, the enrollment equivalent to the total number of Western European countries. However, China has been the number of MBA degree and MBA education is lagging far behind the average level in Western European countries, let alone the United States. China's MBA students is only 5% of full-time, and in the United States, the figure exceeds 50%.

Various studies show that China's outstanding manager is a huge supply gap, especially with the cross-cultural background is even more acute shortage of qualified personnel, and such personnel are operating in China's emerging transnational corporations and the globalization of Chinese enterprises badly need. The majority of projects in China International MBA graduates an average starting salary in a double-digit rate of growth, the fact that this is the best example.

Upgrading the quality of education is the key

If China hopes that changing the growth mode in order to maintain economic growth, expand trade and investment through the full enjoyment of joining WTO benefits, such as training of a lot of talent have been successful, much work needs to be done in China, including the expansion and management education market, more importantly, the upgrading of these the quality of education.

China in enhancing international standard management personnel training capacity there are many things can be done, including the creation of more "education SAR," so that schools follow the example of China's foreign-class university business school cooperation with Sharon school model. Also allow foreign partners on cooperative projects with greater control, and even allowed the world-class business school in China run an independent business school, like the European School of Management (INSEAD) the establishment of the Singapore Branch. If China's coastal areas and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to establish cooperation between universities, then the latter can also China's inland areas with the University of cooperation.
