BiMBA Welcomes 2020 MBA

Sep 24-2020   



On September 11, BiMBA Business School at Peking University held the opening ceremony for the 2020 MBA, with the presence of over 200 new students and teachers. Some students who were unable to attend watched the live streaming together with their families. Prof. Chen Chunhua, Dean of BiMBA, welcomed the students and gave a speech. Fan Baoqun, Assistant Dean of the NSD and Executive Deputy Dean of BiMBA, spoke on the theme ‘A Business School Housed in a Think Tank’.

 

Representatives of BiMBA partner schools attended the event online, welcoming the students and sharing with them key words for MBA study. They are: Prof. Marion Debruyne, Dean of Vlerick Business School; Prof. Dirk Buyens, Academic Dean of Vlerick; Prof. Alan Parkinson, Deputy Director in charge of pedagogy at UCL Management School; and Dr. Michael Manlangit, Project Director at UCL Management School.

 

In her speech, Prof. Chen Chunhua praised the students for overcoming difficulties to join BiMBA in this special year and believed all their efforts will pay off. The MBA program at the NSD, she said, fuses the wisdom of three schools as well as that of each teacher and student involved. The NSD was born out of the conviction that world views and theoretical perspectives could solve the practical issues in China. It has been staying true to this original intention and philosophy over the last 27 years and has thus formed unique influences in China.

 

Using the NSD’s journey as a parallel, Prof. Chen told the students that the main goal of BiMBA is to awaken their proactiveness for personal growth and help them open up the possibilities therein. To grow, one should start with an self-appraisal, which can be done in three ways: put oneself in proper relationships with other people and society at large; acknowledge and accept the gap between one’s understanding of reality and the true reality; let go of past experiences.

 

Most people possess enormous potential, yet few end up with attainments larger than what their potential might entail. Not to be aware of the potential of life, said Prof. Chen, is an outsize tragedy. To tap into potential, the students are advised to take advantage of their study at BiMBA and work on four things: form better habits; be more positive towards any changes; step out of past experience and ingrained ideas; and place higher expectation and hope on oneself, and not the others.

 

Prof. Chen went on to share the three books that have most influenced her and four important ways to train for one’s personal growth – all to do with study and knowledge. She hoped that the students will truly feel the beauty and power of the idealism at BiMBA, and set their wish and dream to a loftier altitude while still remaining humble.
