To strengthen the Faculty's position as the regional leader in business education, and to increase the international profile of our existing business programmes in accordance with the University's internationalization policy, we are launching the BA Faculty International Summer Programme in summer 2005, between mid-June and the end of July.

We have invited some outstanding academics from the U.S. to teach in the International Summer Programme, including: Tatiana Kostova (U of South Carolina), Martin S. Roth (U of South Carolina), Robert C. Liden (U of Illinois at Chicago), Sandy J. Wayne (U of Illinois at Chicago), John N. Doggett (Texas - Austin) and Viktoria Dalko (Harvard). These professors are all outstanding teachers who have received many teaching awards. In addition, two of our outstanding teachers, Michael Ferguson (PAC) and Haksin Chan (MKT), will also offer courses in the International Summer Programme.

All courses in the International Summer Programme will be taught in English. We are expecting half of the students for the International Summer Programme will be our BA major students, while the other half will be international exchange students from the U.S., Asia and Europe. To let students better mix with each other, a residential hall will be reserved to accommodate students attending the summer programme. CUHK students attending the programme will learn and live alongside students from diverse cultures. They can have a taste of cultural exchange with international students without going on exchange, gain international exposure, and build up a global network. More importantly, students can take courses that are not offered during term time at their own choices and earn additional credits - free of charge!

The 12 courses to be offered in the International Summer Programme in 2005 are:

• Consumer Behavior
• Entrepreneurship & New Venture Management
• European Business
• Financial Markets
• Foreign Market Entry & Growth
• Global Competition
• Global Enterprise Management
• Human Resources Management
• International Finance
• Issues in Management Accounting
• Organizational Behavior
• Selected Topics in Management: Servant Leadership
  

Students interested in the summer programme are advised to keep an eye out on the faculty's announcement which will be made in February 2005.
