Staying true to its mission

HEC Paris Executive Education has been established in China since 2006. Under the auspices of the SASAC training centre center, HEC Paris began its EMBA program in cooperation with Zhejiang University School of Management.

To guarantee academic rigor, full-time professors spend one-third of their time heading up R&D programs in multinational enterprises, bringing first-hand business knowledge to their teaching. Many renowned companies in Europe have sponsored chairs at HEC Paris, enabling the professors to expose participants to the latest developments in management science and help them deal with real-life business issues.

"A reshuffle is underway in China's EMBA sector. Only those programs that are most productive and most highly valued by participants will survive. Without doubt, the HEC Paris EMBA program will be one of the active players," said Elodie Xu, General Director of the HEC Paris EMBA China program, at the opening ceremony a few days ago.
