Although students at the Executive MBA program have already achieved success in their careers, Mao Jiye, Dean of the School of Business at Renmin University of China, insisted that providing students with quality curricula and a platform from which to learn from peers are the most fundamental and important criteria for a quality Executive MBA program.
Returning to the core of education is the basis for running the program, Mao said.
"For a long time, our program has emphasized learning as a fundamental, which is the key to any education program,” Mao said, adding that his team aims to offer quality content for students.
Content is “not pure Western-style management theory but relevant, true cases that took place in China,” Mao said. The content was developed by faculty members.
Learning will also extend to out-of-class activities, Mao said, adding that EMBA students also learn from their peers.
"It is also important for them to build their network,” he said, adding that the school organizes activities and created a platform for alumni to keep in touch with each other.
The Executive MBA program at Renmin ranked 43rd in 2014, up 18 slots from 2013. Financial Times called it the highest riser in 2014.
Management education, originated and developed in Western countries, sprouted in China after the open-door policy of 1978. It became urgently needed after former Chinese President Deng Xiaoping toured Shenzhen and encouraged development nationwide.
