The 2007 AACSB International World Class Practices in Management Education Conference was held in Tsinghua University from May 20-22. A total of 150 professionals in management education around the world attended the conference. Tsinghua Vice President Xie Weihe delivered the welcoming speech.
A wide range of topics was covered during the conference, including Chinese Economy and Financial Markets, Lenovo Transformation, Opportunities in Non-degree Executive Education, International Strategic Alliances and AACSB Accreditation. The participants discussed the global and regional trends and issues in business and management programs, reviewed successful models for international strategic alliances, and explored the process for evaluating and selecting potential partners, faculty management and development, student recruitment, and curricula identified through accreditation reviews worldwide.
This conference was the second collaboration between Tsinghua SEM and AACSB right after the School earned one of the most recognized accreditation for business schools in April, making Tsinghua the first accredited school in Chinese mainland.
AACSB is a professional association for college and university management education and the premier accrediting agency for bachelors, masters, and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting.
