When Andy Wang Chung-hsing, general manager of Taiwan-based International Bridal Service Corporation, decided he needed to extend his management skills with an IEMBA, he chose a programme with an international outlook.
'There are many IEMBA programmes available, but when I found out about the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) IEMBA, it quickly became obvious this was the programme for me,' Mr Wang said.
The executive was looking for a learning environment rich with international experience and taught by experienced academics.
'My main priority was to join a programme based on internationalisation. The professors at HKUST not only come from different cultures and backgrounds, the programme modules consist of the most up-to-date business knowledge sourced from all over the world,' Mr Wang said.
The opportunity to study with fellow students from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland provided many useful insights into different working environments and management processes.
'You take something away from every module and every class. The knowledge you acquire is immediately usable and very pragmatic,' Mr Wang said.
