At which venue:

China’s leadership is trying to move from a production-oriented economy to a consumption-based, people-centered model, to rebalance its economy. The global firms that used to benefit from China’s investment boom have to rethink their strategies for the years ahead, with the country’s new economic growth model.

If you are doing business in or with China, you’d better understand how this huge economy is going and where it is heading for. You have to get a macro perspective, to truly grasp the “big picture” of China’s development so as to better understand the micro- issues you are faced with in your daily business.

The Peking University BiMBA Business School is very delighted to welcome the young professionals to the lecture on China’s economic outlook by Prof. Yang Yao, one of the most prominent economists in China. Follow the best minds in China and foster your business skills with our MBA programme!
