[quote=MARRIE,272935]At present, this is not yet the case, even though a small number of leading Chinese schools are prominent within the country, and are highly respected.

The rise of these schools into the elite will be led by the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua, by the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, and by the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS).

Second, China-based schools will need to align themselves with practical priorities of business.

At present, Chinese and foreign faculty in China are reluctant to commit their research to the region.

With one eye on the faculty market in North America and Europe, they consider publication in leading international (that is, US-based) academic journals as necessary for career development.

But with abundant and exciting research opportunities, good funding sources, and an emerging group of elite business schools in China itself, the future will bring greater alignment with the region.

Third, China-based faculty will need to emerge as leaders in education and research.

This will reduce the passive import of knowledge into the Chinese classroom and will gradually alter the world perception of business. The challenge for education will no longer be: “How can we teach (and sell) western knowledge and know-how to Chinese students in China and abroad?”

Instead it will be: “What can we learn (and apply) from the sustained success of China’s economy, and Chinese businesses?” This development may be hindered by the need to change the Western mindset to embrace the goal of learning from China, rather than lecturing to China.

Co-operation between the leading Chinese business schools and their international counterparts is an important means to overcoming this obstacle.
