The visiting module of the MBA program of the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics was successfully held in Shanghai. It was attended by 94 students: top managers of large Russian companies, entrepreneurs, heads of departments of state-owned companies.
The module was organized jointly with Fudan University, one of the leading centers of business education in Asia. The university is among the best universities in China and Asia, widely recognized for its high level of teaching, quality of scientific research and international programs in the field of economics and management.
The theoretical part of the module covered key aspects of the economy and business of modern China. The classes were taught by Fudan University lecturers – recognized experts in their fields, experienced specialists who are engaged in research projects in the areas of global and digital economy, fintech, corporate governance, blockchain technologies, big data and cybersecurity. Many of them are graduates of leading universities around the world, publish in authoritative scientific journals and actively consult businesses and government agencies. During the week, they immersed listeners in the specifics of the financial system of the PRC, discussed challenges to the country’s competitiveness in the international arena, compared approaches to the digital transformation of industry in China and in other countries.
The practical part of the program was no less interesting and important for the audience. The organizers of the module offered a rich plan of visits to leading Chinese companies from key industries. Among them were COSCO Shipping, one of the world’s largest operators in the field of maritime logistics; NIO Inc, a developer and manufacturer of intelligent electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies; SAIC Motor, a Chinese automobile manufacturing corporation actively working in the direction of new energy sources and autonomous transport.
According to the manager MBA programs Vladimir Koptsev, Higher School of Business at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, international modules allow students not only to expand their professional horizons, but also to see key global economies in dynamics.

Today, China is not just an important player, but one of the world’s leading economies, influencing global processes in business, finance and technology. It is fundamentally important for us that students are not limited to theory, but personally come into contact with this reality: through visits to companies, dialogue with experts and direct immersion in the country’s economic environment.
The reaction of the participants of the visiting module themselves is indicative; they saw from the inside how the economy of one of the largest and rapidly developing countries in the world functions, and what management models are used by business leaders of the PRC.
“Shanghai exceeded all expectations – it is a truly technologically advanced metropolis. I especially remember the lectures with Chinese professors about how the country became a global technological leader in 40 years. I was amazed by the number of electric cars – about 80% of cars on the roads, thanks to which the city of its size remains surprisingly quiet. A visit to a robotics company left a great impression. And, of course, it was nice to meet MBA students from parallel groups. I would like to separately thank the HSE Graduate School of Business for organizing the module at such a prestigious university as Fudan, and for the excellent organization of visits to leading Chinese enterprises. This trip will be remembered for a long time – a lot of new knowledge and vivid emotions!” – assessed the results Sergey Bespalov, Manager of Consulting in the field of production and operational management, Accenture AG, Zurich, Switzerland.
The Chinese partners highly appreciated the cooperation with the HSE Graduate School of Business: “We are sincerely glad that the students not only visited Fudan University, but also benefited from this intercultural exchange. I hope that our program opened up new perspectives for the students, contributed to the development of their communication skills and broadened their horizons. We tried to tell as much as possible about the economic and cultural characteristics of China and demonstrate them during visits to various companies. We hope to continue fruitful cooperation with the HSE Graduate School of Business in the future, so that we can host MBA students within the walls of our university more than once,” Shuang Zhang, Manager of International Programs at Fudan University.
Upon completion of the module, all students MBA programs received an official certificate from Fudan University confirming their participation and academic achievements.
