The World Class Partnership
The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program-Where two outstanding schools come together to offer one remarkable management program.
The partnership between the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University (Kellogg) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s School of Business and Management (HKUST) spans two continents and draws on exceptional faculty members from around the globe. On offer is a program that pushes participants to their limits and gives them the insights and skills to transform the business environment around them.
Challenging, enriching, transformative: these are all words past participants have used to describe the effect on their lives and careers of joining the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program. Beside the knowledge gained and the skills imparted by the course, the interaction with academic and business leaders is priceless, and the networks built between participants both valuable and enduring.
We call it simply ‘The World Class’

Getting an MBA was unfinished business having started my own business at 21. Twelve years thereafter my company suffered tremendously during the Asian and Russian
financial crisis in 1998, I felt the need to not only to learn new skills but to strengthen my confidence and enthusiasm. Where better could one do this than the Kellogg-HKUST
EMBA program which brought in 40 diverse individuals and a multinational and world class faculty? This program has helped me to re-shape & evolve my business and my
personal development in ways I could never have imaged.

The intellectual adventure you will embark on spans six continents and brings with it new challenges, new vision, new friends, and powerful new networks. The outcome is a fresh beginning, and a world of new and unlimited possibilities.
The world is your classroom
For those looking to propel themselves to the forefront of influence in today’s complex multinational business environment, there is no time like the present. Leaders are needed who have a global understanding of economic trends and concepts, but also a sensitive understanding of local realities. Essential to acquiring such leadership qualities is access to world-class trainers and mentors, delivering knowledge in ways that are relevant, multi-faceted, stimulating and liberating.

This is an exceptional opportunity to meet and interact with talented fellow-executives and faculty members from every corner of the globe, building profound and dynamic personal networks that will last a lifetime. Uniting all our destinations — in Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East — is a principle that transcends national boundaries: an uncompromising commitment to the best in education and leadership.

The program offers electives for students to travel to Kellogg partner schools. I spent 2 weeks at the Kellogg school’s Miami campus for a course on Wall Street, hedge funds and leveraged buyout issues and International Finance with students from all over the world. Group work together with these students was international to say the least. It was an extremely interesting and amazing experience. The program gives us a good
platform to meet people whom we would not regularly meet or get to know in depth.

One of the unique features of the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program is that it really is an international business program. The faculty are from top
international business schools and the students are from all over the world. This program gave us an excellent opportunity to have an insight into what
international business leaders are thinking and doing, and to share our management experience with our peers. The vision, experience and friendship
we earn from this program will be the treasure for our lifetime.

preconceptions and test new ideas. The program gave such invaluable perspectives, allowing me to look afresh at issues and identify solutions even more effectively. IN both personal and professional development, I continue to draw from the insights

Having spent more than 17 years with one company, I started to worry, if I had become a “frog in a well”. How could I find out what I had been missing, without
having to leave a great organization? It was that curiosity, together with the mindset of never settling for anything but the very best that got me to the Kellogg-HKUST
EMBA program. In this program, you learn from the best, both professors and fellow classmates. I not only learnt a lot, but was also able to apply what I learned almost
immediately. As a result of this learning experience, I’m a more confident leader and have a diverse network of friends and fellow alums from all over the world.

Kellogg and HKUST, two globally recognized names. Its well-designed curriculum and great location are just two of the things that attracted me to the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program. Throughout the program, my expectations were supported by my
experience both inside and outside of the classroom. Interacting with world-class faculty and classmates from truly professional, diverse and international backgrounds was truly inspirational. The program has been both intellectually stimulating and thought
provoking. At the same time, it has helped me to build genuine friendships and networks throughout Asia and beyond. The world of business, which is currently experiencing significant uncertainty, requires the leadership competencies of confidence, vision,
entrepreneurship and passion. The energy, enthusiasm and commitment you see during the program convinced me of the potential and power of this program.

There are many executive MBA programs, but the Kellogg-HKUST was my first choice. At this level of education, one expects to learn as much from the professors as from the students. The program is well-known for bringing together high-caliber executives
from a range of industries. The Kellogg-HKUST program selected 60 people, half of whom flew in, and who originated from 22 nations, to live and work together for 18
months. The diversity, rigor and yet openness of thinking amongst the students made my experience remarkably rich and rewarding. Today, I have 59 incredible friends and
advisors there for me and me for them.
Topics that underpin success
28
Analysis of Uncertainty in Management Decisions introduces elementary probability theory as a tool for modeling uncertainty in business, with illustrations from decision-theory and statistics.
Building a Powerful Consumer Brand in China approaches the challenge of establishing a strong consumer brand in China from the perspective of the General Manager of a multinational corporation, outlining the practical steps that one needs to take when scoping the opportunity, tailoring the product and marketing mix and measuring success.
Contemporary Issues in Chinese Politicsfamiliarizes students with PRC political structures, the continuing importance of the Communist Party, how political elites attempt to control the political system and how citizens try to get the leaders to respond to their interests. The course also looks at China’s external ties and how China’s thirst for energy is influencing current foreign policy. Scenarios for China’s future will be built.
Corporate Governance exposes participants to, and gets them actively involved in discussions about the most recent concepts, tools, and best practices regarding corporate governance. The analysis is aimed at investors as well as top management and directors.
Deal Making in China and Asia offers participants a comprehensive overview of the markets and the opportunity to strategize and be the decision maker in practical, “real world” business situations from the Asia Pacific region.
Digimarketingdevelops participants’ understanding of the nature, challenges, and importance of digital marketing. The aim is to understand the principles involved, and emerging best practice.
Executive Ethical Leadership examines the role of the CEO and other top leaders in modern organizations, highlighting their ethical challenges and exploring the implications of a variety of ethical frameworks to facilitate more effective complex organizational decision making in a rapidly changing business environment.
Family Business and Entrepreneurshiplooks into the characteristics of both, and analyzes the key differences between the two with emphasis on the management and capital structure, governance, board structure and selection as well as finance performance. The course also discusses what causes the success or failure of a family business, and the different roles played by the family council and non-family executives.
Financial Information for Management Planning and Control covers the use of financial information in management decision-making. Topics include profitability and performance measurement issues, and activity-based management.
Financial Reporting Systems introduces generally accepted accounting principles and concepts along with the preparation and analysis of financial statements. Global Macroeconomics provides a framework for addressing issues about the global economic environment. It will then apply the framework to understanding the global economy. It will introduce important insights in the labor, money and foreign exchange markets.

HONOLULUPrincipal
Group 70 International(KH04, 2001-2002)
When I applied to MBA programs, I was looking for a different perspective than what I could get in Hawaii. The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program had an international viewpoint and really delivered an innovative curriculum offering some of the best
marketing and finance courses available in the world. As an architect and marketing director, the broader viewpoint expands the range of consultation services to resort and hotel developers. I “commuted” from Hawaii to attend this program and made
some sacrifices. However, in the long run, it was very much worth it all.
Tom Young
HONG KONGChief Architect
Cathay Pacific Airways(KH15, 2012-2013)
When I selected an EMBA program, I prioritized diversity of the student body, both cultural and professional, as a core requirement. Having worked on four
continents, I realized the value in understanding, appreciating and leveraging the unique perspectives of different cultures and backgrounds. In fact, being able to understand and work within a multicultural environment is critical to our success in today’s business world, especially here in Asia. From Moscow to Manila and
from executives to entrepreneurs, the Kellogg-HKUST program’s diversity creates a truly unique learning experience that extends far beyond the classroom. I have
no doubt that the experience will benefit us for years to come.

Perfect learning environments
Leaders understand the importance of having the optimum environment in which to think, plan, and study. For those taking part in the Kellogg-HKUST program, the working environment could hardly be better. Both universities boast tranquil, attractive campuses which provide ideal contexts for the vigorous intellectual exchanges that are hosted there. Participants will find themselves inspired by the place, and invigorated by the company.

(KH14, 2011-2012)
The width and depth of the perspectives, thought processes and ideas behind all the global executives are amplified further by each individual’s own unique and
diverse professional and personal background. The multiplier effect is much more than what the number of languages and nationalities that the class statistics can speak for. I joined the Kellogg-HKUST program knowing that it offers insights into business dynamics worldwide but I have departed to embark on a new course of lifelong connections with a worldwide web of evolving intelligence offered by my
fellow classmates, professors and alums.
Samantha Law
TOKYOManager
Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd.(KH14, 2011-2012)
I was attracted to Kellogg-HKUST EMBA and had high expectations for the program because of its strong academic reputation, the deep experience and diversity of the student body, and its location in booming Asia. The program exceeded my
expectations. I learned valuable insights from my classmates and developed personal and professional relationships that I expect will continue beyond retirement. I am
100% convinced that my training at Kellogg-HKUST and relationships with my fellow classmates have prepared me to be not only a well-rounded manager but also a leader who can motivate and inspire my colleagues to achieve ambitious goals.

A new window for NPO leaders
There are many qualified leaders in non-profit organizations (NPO), and non-governmental (NGO) organizations that need the kind of education the Kellogg-HKUST program can provide.
These senior managers can bring valuable sharing and perspective into our classroom. These organizations often lack the financial means to support a world class EMBA yet we know the difference it could make for their organizations.
To recruit the cream of leadership talent, the NPO Tuition Award aims to provide support for the NPO participants in the world-class program. The Award will be up to 25% of the program’s tuition fee.
A generous donation of HK$1.1 million has been made by Prof. Larry Franklin, a professor who has taught the program for the past decade, towards the setting up of the Award. His donation is matched by the HKUST Business School. Alumni have also been contributing to this fund.
The Award will be given to an admitted participant who has a strong background and interest in NPO work. The candidate will be required to remain within the non-profit charitable sector for an agreed period of time after graduation.
Thomas Chan, Honorary President, World Vision China Board Member, World Vision Hong Kong
(KH03, 2000-2001)
I decided to take the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program because I felt I needed to learn management techniques and the best practices
of industries from other international executives. The program taught me how to refin our management in the areas of finance, marketing, fund-raising and human resources. One of my biggest challenges is finding ways to inspire and motivate staff. They work with us because of a shared vision – not for the salary. From the
program I learned how to manage expectations and to align vision with achievable goals.

The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA has helped me appreciate the business I am in, know how to manage it effectively and fell comfortable that I can provide leadership to my organization. By leveraging the 500 years of people experience that I found within my classroom, I was able to simulate a lot of team changes with my classmates
and understand the impact of my decision on staff and customers before initiating changes at work. There was something in the classroom that I cannot account for – the spirit of classroom learning lives on within us and the relationship I have built
during the program continue to grow stronger. I am amazed how much we continue to explore each other’s passion at work and at home and the nurturing that goes on to
channel this passion into something that my company, friends and family can enjoy. Thank you for connecting me to my wonderful friends – students and professors, and
the capabilities I now have to support a business.
