Within an environment of continued economic reform and dynamic growth, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), created in April 2003, is empowered by the State Council to carry out, on its behalf, its responsibilities as investor and to supervise and administer State-owned assets. Currently, more than 150 enterprises are directly supervised, accounting for close to 40 percent of China’s GDP.

In order to increase the competitiveness of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the global economy, the Education and Training Center for Officials and Entrepreneurs of the SASAC has selected HEC Paris to deliver a world-class EMBA Program in Beijing. The objective of this program is to expand the technical expertise and leadership skills of Chinese executives in order to prepare them for competition within the global economy. This unique EMBA is offered under the auspices of the Training Center of the SASAC and has been recognized by the French Ministry of Education and is accredited internationally. HEC Paris has the honor of being the first foreign business school to deliver its own EMBA in China, independently of a local university.

Taught by HEC faculty, the EMBA program is an intensive, custom-designed course of study for select senior managers with focus on market-oriented themes. There are 52 days of class time required, in addition to a required study trip to France. The language of instruction is English, with interpretation into Chinese provided.

Bernard Ramanantsoa, Dean of HEC Paris, believes “this program is a clear sign of HEC’s position of global leadership, and is a strategic addition to HEC’s international portfolio, which also includes such prestigious programs as the TRIUM Global EMBA (in alliance with NYU Stern and the London School of Economics) and Consulting and Coaching for Change (in alliance with Oxford University). The success of this program clearly demonstrates the force of HEC worldwide.”
