Higher education in management: The case of China

Abstract

Education is one of the most important cultural values in the Chinese mindset. Business schools have been developing rapidly in China since 1978 to the extent that they are now offering the largest number of degree programs in the world. As China was isolated for years, business schools were under great pressure to reform their model. After looking at best practices in higher education worldwide, Chinese business schools, whether public, private or corporate, developed in their own ways, building international bridges in the academic world, via international cooperation under the control of the Chinese government.
