CHEUNG KONG GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESSCheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) aims to cultivate business leaders with a global vision, a humanistic spirit, a strong sense of social responsibility and an innovative mind-set. Established in Beijing in November 2002 with generous support from the Li Ka Shing Foundation, CKGSB is an independent, non-profit business school. Since its founding, CKGSB has developed into a prominent business school with more than 40 full-time professors, who have earned their PhDs and held tenured faculty positions at leading business schools such as Harvard, Wharton and Stanford. CKGSB also stands apart for its unmatched alumni network. More than half of CKGSB’s 10,000+ alumni are at the CEO or Chairman level and, together, their companies accounted for approximately one sixth of China’s GDP in 2015. CKGSB strives to understand business in a more well-rounded capacity, beyond the traditional boundaries of business schools. For instance, in 2005, CKGSB pioneered the integration of the humanities into its curricula to give students a long-term and holistic view of business and development. The school’s EMBA students—more than 80% of whom are above the vice president level—are also required to complete six days of community work before receiving their degrees. In 2014, CKGSB was the first Chinese business school to develop a philanthropy program aimed at equipping the school’s alumni with expertise on setting up and managing foundations and engaging in philanthropy. CKGSB has a campus in Beijing, teaching sites in Shanghai and Shenzhen, and representative offices in Hong Kong, London and New York.
