CKGSB to Host ASEAN Global Leadership Program in China

Beijing, 2^nd January 2019: Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) is proud to co-host the ASEAN Global Leadership Program (AGLP) with SRW&Co. in September 2019. The first AGLP Asia was launched in 2012 in collaboration with CKGSB and three cohorts have been jointly delivered from 2012-2014. As China takes a more active role in the ASEAN region, it’s important for senior executives to understand China’s next move in order to capitalize on economic opportunities; hence, the two partners will reinitiate this program in 2019. As China’s first independent business school, CKGSB has helped thousands of leaders from around the world to navigate China’s changing business landscape through the school’s unrivalled China insights and seasoned professors who represent the best in the global business education, with expertise from the Ease and the West. The AGLP program—Transforming ASEAN Organizations: Understanding China’s Next Move—is a part of a series of executive education programs initiated by the Jakarta-based management consulting firm SRW&Co. in partnership with top universities and business schools worldwide. This custom, 5-day program with CKGSB focuses on four key themes: Globalization, Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Leadership.

“CKGSB is delighted to partner with SRW&Co. for the ASEAN Global Leadership Program 2019,”saidCKGSB’s Founding Dean and Professor of China Business and Globalization Xiang Bing. “While the concept of globalization is under serious challenge, especially in the US, regional economic ties between China and Southeast Asia have strengthened at an unprecedented pace. The ASEAN Global Leadership Program in China has resumed at a pivotal moment in history as economic paradigms begin to shift. The program will help business leaders and government officials from ASEAN countries reevaluate their global strategy by understanding China inlight of the country’s economic transformation and global geopolitical shifts.”

CKGSB Program Director and Assistant Dean, Zhou Li, echoed Dean Xiang’s sentiment and stressed the uniqueness of the program. “Innovation and digital technology have transformed China’s economy, impacting businesses everywhere. China has embraced the digital transformation like few other countries in the world. We wanted to reflect these changes through this program by focusing on topics such as fintech, AI, and e-commerce, to help participating executives leverage China opportunities in their global strategy, understand the impact of Chinese companies’ globalization on the ASEAN bloc, and grasp China’s latest innovations,” said Dean Zhou. He emphasized CKGSB’s competitive advantage on this area, thanks to the school’s world-class faculty and unrivaled alumni network in China. “CKGSB’sfaculty and their research capabilities are considered among the best in the world focusing on China business. These professors—combined with our school’s more than 10,000 alumni, who lead one fifth of China’s most valuable brands—will offer AGLP participants the opportunity to learn first-hand the latest business trends in China and connect with some of China’s most successful business leaders.”
