Lessons Jesuit Business Programs Can Learn from Chinese MBA Programs
4/30/16 Abstract: North American Schools of Business have been “going global” by transplanting pedagogy and content to Asia and Africa for several centuries. From a teaching perspective, our western schools look to these regions as contexts to provide richness to our students’ educational experience, to prepare Americans for dealings in the global business marketplace, and often to increase our own enrollments and revenues. To date we have served as “exporters” of our own Western brand of MBA education.
Using an ethnographic approach of participant observation gained through two years of teaching and living in China supplemented with interviews with Chinese students studying in the U.S., this paper suggests an alternative view. China in particular and Asia in general present a different viewpoint of leadership, motivation, team-work and MBA education in general. The paper suggests an alternative viewpoint to higher education and a series of concepts and ideas that can be “imported” into western business education from the Middle Kingdom.

5/4/16 The [UConn] School of Business is expanding its Alumni Mentor Program to give Full-time MBA students additional professional contacts, who can guide, advise and encourage them in their career pursuits.
“We have some fantastic alumni out there who want to give back to the school in various ways. They recognize the importance of mentoring in their own careers and want to pay it forward. And what better way than to mentor current MBA students?” said Suresh Nair, associate dean for graduate programs.
“At the same time, our current MBA students would love to connect with our alumni. We plan to facilitate addressing this need from both sides by creating the MBA Alumni Mentorship Program as an extension of the existing Undergraduate Alumni Mentor Program.
Meg Warren, director of the Full-time MBA program, said mentors can offer advice based on lessons learned from their own experiences, share information on the latest business trends, and offer to introduce the students to additional people who share common interests.
