The Student
Sometimes one's job does not exactly fit one's academic training. Take Amos Yung Hing-wah. In 1998, after finishing his bachelor of social science degree in East Asian studies - which covered sociology, economics and public administration - he found a job with a Hong Kong company that outsources houseware and designer items in the mainland for European customers.
Fourteen years later, eager to expand his horizons, Yung, now a director of corporate development, has enrolled in a part-time MBA programme at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). The decision seemed right, as Yung ended up on the dean's honour list in the first year of his MBA studies. Expecting to graduate this year, he is ready for new challenges and changes.
Why did you opt for an MBA?
When I was promoted to my current position in the company, I discovered that further studies in business administration, and learning the skills to form strategies in the rapidly changing business environment, are essential. MBA programmes provide rich resources in business cases and strategic insights that can broaden my perspective on business strategies and enrich my skills in systematic analysis and entrepreneurship.
