MBA and Tertiary Education Programs in China Posted by nick_niesen on October 27th Cheap Franck Ribery Jersey , 2010
With China becoming the 6th largest economy in 2004 and likely to rank 4th in 2005, this is likely to fuel further anxieties over the impact of China`s rising economic might for the world economic leaders. But for company executives and aspiring young entrepreneurs, it has become imperative to understand China so as to explore the increasing business opportunities in China.
One of the usual route for this is to study and build social networks at the leading Chinese universities. Latest available figures show that there were about 85,000 foreign students studying in China in 2002. Almost 500 Chinese universities Cheap Felix Gotze Jersey , mainly in Shanghai and Bejing, accept foreign students. The top 5 universities with the largest foreign students are Beijing Language and Culture Center, Fudan, Peking Cheap Fabian Benko Jersey , Tsinghua and Shanghai universities.
If you are planning to do a post-graduate MBA program while working in China, there are many learning organizations to choose from.
The University of Maryland`s Smith School of Business offers a degree, custom and certification programs at learning centers within Beijing and Shanghai. Smith`s first executive MBA program class started in Jan 2003 and graduated in spring 2004.
The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee`s School of Business Administration has recently launched an EMBA program in Beijing in partnership with Motorola for staff of Motorola`s China operations.
Together with the top-ranked Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, the University of British Columbia is also offering an International MBA in China. Besides having the same curriculam as its Canadian MBA Cheap Douglas Costa Jersey , professors from the University of British Columbia teach all of the courses.
Another EMBA program is the Cass EMBA 2-year part-time off-campus program by City University from Britian which has been launched in collaboration with Bank of China and the Shanghai University of Finance & Economics.
Britain`s Nottingham University is the first foreign university to establish a physical campus in Ningbo in September 2004. Nottingham Ningbo`s degree is comparable with its degree from the British campus with all courses conducted in English.
The Chinese government is actively promoting more educational tie-ups in China to develop university graduates who will be better geared for the many multinational corporations operating in China and spearhead economic growth. Currently, there are about 700 such jointly managed educational programs in China.
With the many future and current leaders and managers in China enrolling in the many tertiary education and post-graduate MBA programs, it makes good career sense to take up these courses and build a social network which will be useful for operating within Chinese business community for the future.
Are Olympic Medals a Piece of Mens and Womens Jewelry? Sports Articles | March 23, 2010 For athletes there are is nothing more beautiful than an Olympic medal around your neck. Though they aren?t for everyday use Cheap David Alaba Jersey , can an Olympic medal be considered a piece of jewelry?
Is an Olympic medal a piece of jewelry? I know it?s more substantial then say a necklace you bought at Target, but does it qualify as a piece of mens jewelry or women?s jewelry because of its resemblance to a necklace? Maybe I?m just stretching, and I doubt that any athlete would ever wear it on a daily basis, but outside of something like the hope diamond Cheap Corentin Tolisso Jersey , in my opinion an Olympic medal would be just about the coolest piece of jewelry you could ever wear. Imagine walking into a party with that thing on. Who wouldn?t be impressed?
I write this as I?m watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Paralympic games in Vancouver. Here in the US the Paralympic Games aren?t exactly ?Muse-see? TV. Regardless, it?s some of the best athletes in the world excelling at what they do best. It?s essentially the same format as the Olympics with gold, silver and bronze medals with each athlete proudly representing their country. The medals vary slightly from the Olympic ones but still have the basic round design. They are impressive pieces of work which any able bodied Olympian would be proud to have.
So back to my original point: are Olympic medals considered jewelry? Mirriam-Webster defines jewelry as ?objects of precious metal often set with gems and worn for personal adornment?. That sounds pretty much like an Olympic medal. No jewels I know, but a good amount of everyday jewelry doesn?t feature gems. Furthermore Cheap Christian Fruchtl Jersey , the medals can be worn for personal adornment, but like so much other jewelry throughout history they don?t need to be. If you go to a museum and look at a lot of the jewelry on display much of it was maybe worn once and then put on display for the public (like J-Lo?s dresses). So from definition sake it seems that medals would definitely be jewelry.
The thing is that most athletes would probably not want to wear their medals as everyday wear. Besides the fact that they could lose them (by accident or by force), there are also two other factors. First, you look like a jerk wearing an Olympic medal everywhere you go. It?s like ?Fine Cheap Arturo Vidal Jersey , we get it, you were the best in your field, now stop shoving it in our faces your stuck up so-and-so?. Secondly, with the weight of the gold medal on your chest they don?t exactly look comfortable. It looks like every time they would swing and hit your chest another bruise would occur.
So Cheap Arjen Robben Jersey , do Olympic medals count as pieces of men?s and women?s jewelry? By definition yes. But if you ask an athlete, they would probably rather just keep it in their display cases.
