And since MBAprojects have been far more developed in US and European

help to the understanding and learningof advanced theories and practices in
business administration.
Q: Do you knowsomething about the development of China’s MBA projects? Can

A: China began toparticipate in MBA programs since the early 1980s’ mainly
through cooperation with US andEuropean business schools. And from 1990s’,
China began to establish the degree ofMBA projects.
Suggestions for improvement:
Localization of MBAprojects, especially focus on the establishment of our
own case bank.
Market-orientation.China is in great need of executives who are technically
sound in the fields of IT, finance,and accounting and who have a thorough
command of management theories andgood communication skills and strategic
viewpoints.
More attentionshould be drawn to the education of CTOs and CFOs besides the
traditional education of CEOs.
In China, apartfrom CTOs, we are in great need for CFOs, those who knows
the operation of capital markets aswell as the general management knowledge
because the biggest challenges forenterprises in China are how to finance a
company and how to handle the riskycapital markets.
Q: What is CFO andthe related responsibilities?
A:
CFO is theabbreviated form of Chief Financial Officer, who is the most
important and valuable position ofmanagement in modern enterprises besides CEO.
Responsibilitiesfor CFO: handle various financial relations especially
relations with the investors(investment financing), with governments (taxation,
and bond supervision), and strategicbusiness planning, and human resources
management.
A CFO will directthe department of planning, department of finance,
department of operational management,department of ERP and department of H.R.
In other words, CFOis responsible for all the departments except departments
of production and sales.
We should lay moreemphasis on the education and training of CFO.
Relationshipbetween CEO and CFO
CEO is the one whomake decisions on the long-term objectives or missions for
a company, while CFO is the one whomake those ambitions and long-term planning
into concrete, operable strategiesespecially the financial strategies. And not
only that, CFO is the person whoactually assess the fulfillment of the
objectives. So the harmoniouscooperation between CEO and CFO in a company is
critical.
一些背景资料：
Q: What is thedifference between MBA program at home and abroad?
A: China’s MBAprojects are lagging behind their counterparts at abroad in the
following respects:
Teachers andteaching facilities
At abroad: Doctoraldegree is a must for teachers in universities, and for
those who teach in business schools.They have to have obtained professional
education in business and management,some with educational background in
economics and other pertinentsciences. And most of them have direct or indirect
experience of business administrationand they keep a close contact with
enterprises through consultingservices or research projects. So they can
combine those management theories withenterprise practices which is quite
advantageous to the MBA education.
At home: We haveteachers without doctoral degrees at our business schools,
teachers without professional businessor management background, and teachers
lacking practical understanding of howan enterprise is actually operated.
Source of students
At abroad:basically, all students applying for MBA education come from
enterprises and they intend tocontinue their career in enterprises when they
finished their MBA study. They arepeople with highest potentials to become
excellent businessmen orbusinesswomen.
At home: we have amore complex source of students. A large part of enrolled
students are not from enterpriseswhich means they have no former business
experience. Although some areexcellent people they simply need longer period to
become entrepreneurs. Some choose toenter governments and intuitions after
their MBA education which goes againstthe overall objectives of MBA programs.
System of managingMBA education
At abroad: businessschools have self-decision-making for their MBA projects,
such as the scale of recruitment,tuitions and way of hiring teachers. The high
autonomy enables them to develop fastand obtain special features of their own.
At home:Universities have little independence and it’s even worse when it
comes to business schools. All theabove-mentioned decisions are made under a
planning system which consequentlyaffect the quality of MBA programs.
Teaching methods
At abroad: besidesthe traditional ways of teaching, that is lecture and case
study, there are many kinds ofdifferent ways of education for example, field
projects, group projects decision bycomputer simulation, guest speech , project
study, consulting reports , roleplays, discussions and seminars, action
learning, debates, internships, studytrips, student presentation, problem
solving and experiential exercises.
At home : ourteaching methods are rather limited.
