Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business
Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business was founded in 2002 by a great visionary and business leader Mr. LI Ka-shing, with a mission to develop top business leaders for China and beyond. Cheung Kong holds the unique position of being the first private, free-standing and independent business school in China. The School firmly believes that future business leaders in this New Century must have these key characters in order to operate effectively across the globe and cultures, and with a touch of humanity. In less than four years, this young and dynamic School has made a remarkable progress in securing a leadership position in a portfolio of programs it offers, including MBA, EMBA and Executive Development Programs in China. All these are made possible by a team of world class faculty that Cheung Kong GSB has been able to attract, develop and retain. The School plays to its strengths to create and disseminate its unrivaled business knowledge on emerging markets and its ability to seamlessly integrate the knowledge into those of mature economies, from a truly global perspective. As a result, Cheung Kong has become a partner-of-choice by the elite business corporations and candidates in the nation, who are playing an important role in shaping the corporate landscape in China, both short term and long term. In addition, Cheung Kong GSB has also become an institution-of-choice by the A-list of elite international business schools. Our unrivaled emerging market knowledge serves to complement the management fundamentals of mature markets represented by international business schools. The resulting synergy benefits clients that partnering schools serve respectively, which could not have been achieved by one school alone. Starting from 2006, Cheung Kong is to further build on what it has achieved, by continuing its momentum on research efforts on competing and collaborating in China, while undertaking collaborative research on other emerging markets such as India. The School will have expanded its regional outreach to include Japan, South Korea, and ASEAN countries to make the School the only business school that truly has a Pan-Asia coverage both in terms of research capabilities and content delivery. Each member of the Cheung Kong family on this promising platform shares a tremendous sense of destiny, a wealth of ambition and talent in building Cheung Kong GSB into a world class business school in the foreseeable future.
