From January 3rd to 10th, 2019, 40 MBA students from Xavier Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship (XIME) in India arrived at the MBA Education Center of GDUFS for a 7-day study tour. As a renowned Indian institute, XIME has established a long-term partnership with the SOB to promote academic cooperation and cultural exchanges. Yu Qianqian, supervisor of the Student Affairs, warmly received them. Student volunteers of MBA center, GDUFS followed up the whole tour. In this wonderful tour, students from both sides exchanged ideas and learned from each other. They knew more about each other’s culture, as well as deepen their relationships. All students were satisfied with the tour.
The study tour lasted for 7 days, including events such as lectures, company-visiting and city tour, and interactive activities between students from the two schools. The lecture “artificial intelligence and innovation management”given by associate Professor ZENG Yuran, and “Chinese customers and global business opportunities”given by Professor DU Yupin, marked the opening of this study tour. They introduced relevant theories concerning the lecture, then cited excellent examples to explain them, from which the students learned a lot. It was followed by three other lectures, namely Professor ZHU Wenzhong's "Globalization and Corporate Social Responsibility", Professor YUAN Denghua's "International MBA Education Trend" , and Professor WU Yiming's "Responsibility Management". These courses are an important part of the “study” in this study tour, in which all the professors are eager to teach, and Indian students learned a lot.
Lectures
During the study tour, YU Qianqian, supervisor of the Student Affairs Division showed students around four well-known enterprises: Othello, Zhujiang Brewery Group, Golden Sea, and Yinghao Technology. All companies gave them warm reception and arranged staffs to introduce their company features and history. Students were showed around each enterprise, and asked questions in the Q&A session. As the companies vary in styles and business domains, they learned a lot in the visits and enjoyed the whole trip.
