Cambridge Judge Business School announced a new 15-member China Advisory Council in advance of December’s Sanya Forum, a gathering of about 1,000 influential political, business and academic leaders in Sanya, Hainan, China.
The 15-member China Advisory Council (CAC), which was launched at an event hosted by Cambridge Judge at the Sanya Forum on December 14th, is being established to advise the School on its future engagement in China – a very important area to Cambridge Judge in terms of students, faculty, executive education and academic focus. The new panel includes top executives of leading Chinese firms such as banks and media enterprises, as well as academic, spiritual and business leaders from China and the UK.
Christoph Loch, Dean of Cambridge Judge, formally announced a study he is leading into the competitiveness of small and medium sized companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges – companies whose market value is less than 10 billion Renminbi (about £1 billion).
The study will look beyond profitability numbers to issues such as management quality, in order to understand what would make small and medium sized Chinese enterprises more competitive in both China and round the world. The study, whose initial stage will be completed by the middle of 2015, will produce a ranking; more importantly, it is designed to provide a framework and analysis tool to investors, policymakers and other businesses.
