As the Director of NTU GMBA, I would like to thank Professors Charles Chang, M.D. Cheng, and Miriam Garvi as well as the GMBA Associate Director Celia Yang for their support and assistance. It’s extremely difficult to arrange the visits (few Chinese companies would be willing to make senior managers available for a half-day to explain their strategies and operations in detail in English to outsiders). However, after seeing the very active and engaging participation of our energetic students (a fintech manager from Yuanta chasing the delivery belt at Hema Supermarket, a former Swiss banker fascinated by Hu Xueyan’s story, managers from Carousell and Alibaba interacting in the same room, a Swedish professor discussing social responsibility with Geely’s managers, and a medical doctor enjoying those high cholesterol foods in Super Species Supermarket), I know it’s worth it – learning by doing.
This trip is a good example of various innovative learning approaches initiated at NTU GMBA recently.
Our next destination: Southeast Asia…
