Alliance can pay big dividends
The alliance between the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and the School of Business and Management at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is an exciting educational venture.
This programme is aimed at executives from the Hong Kong region who understand that the knowledge gained from this international executive MBA will dramatically increase their effectiveness.
The course is coming on-line when technology and globalisation are becoming foremost in all business strategies, for both established companies and start-up ventures. The alliance also links Hong Kong with Kellogg's highly-ranked executive master's programme in the United States and Kellogg's two other joint IEMBA programmes in Europe and the Middle East, respectively based at the Koblenz Corporate School in Germany and the Recanati School of Business in Tel Aviv, Israel.
In the autumn, participants from all four programmes will come together at Kellogg's life-long learning Allen Centre on Northwestern's campus in Evanston, Illinois. Once there, they will truly learn about global business from a world-class faculty and, more importantly, from each other as they share their individual experiences and future challenges.
These students will then form a global network whereby, with today's technology, they can communicate with each other on a daily basis.
Kellogg is fortunate to have such great alliance partners and is extremely proud to be partnered with HKUST in this region of Asia.
