The Shanghai-based China-Europe International Business School (CEIBS) was recently selected in the Financial Times' list of the world's top 50 business schools for its advanced Open Program and comprehensive strength.
As one of the world's most authoritative media in finance and economics, the British newspaper the Financial Times issues an annual ranking of business schools in terms of their course quality, students' level, customer services and another 14 indices.
According to the list, CEIBS excelled in after-course services, and even overtook the prestigious Harvard and Wharton schools concerning the degree of loyalty of their customers.
CEIBS became the first school to open special training courses targeting senior managers in China from 1994. So far, over 20,000 businesspeople from Chinese branches of transnationals, state-owned and private enterprises have received management training at CEIBS.
Prof. Zhang Guohua, vice-president of CEIBS, said many successful entrepreneurs in China had been far-sighted.
"They started to send their company elite abroad for advanced training long ago."
"Nowadays, CEIBS, the best in Asia, also boasts high-quality courses not only up to international standards, but also closer to China's practical needs," Zhang said.
