Navigating Sino - EU Opportunities

Tsinghua SEM Beijing - HEC Paris

The opening of the Chinese economy and China's rapid development has profoundly affected the global business world and the way we do business. Not only has a huge market become available, but it also allowed corporations to reallocate strategic resources worldwide and reshape their competitive framework.
China is moving up the value chain, investing in R&D, creating a service industry and promoting sustainable development. With this increased sophistication, and with the government's support, China has engaged in the internationalization of its companies, with the view to challenging established market leaders both within and outside of China. Western businesses must be prepared for China's internationalization and entry on the world scene, with the view to identifying the new business opportunities this presents, as new markets, suppliers, partners and investors become available.
HEC Paris and the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, two leading global business schools, have partnered to create this exciting opportunity for Chinese and European executives to gain insight, skills, experience and contacts to define strategies for seizing opportunities between China and Europe.

Professional experience

Participants should have at least 10 years of experience. For Europeans, they do not need to have China experience nor specific interest in doing business in China. The program is not about cross-cultural management, it is about strategy. However, participants should have an interest in China and be part of the team determining the strategic direction of their company. This can be executives of large corporations who are two or three levels from CEO, company owners or managers who have, or soon will have, responsibility for developing and implementing strategy in their organization. Or even SME's or start-up looking for international investors.
This program is designed to address key issues of global business between China and Europe. Previous Chinese/European experience is not required.
