China
Business Studies Major
China business has grown in importance
in Hong Kong. China's institutional setting, legal framework,
organisational behaviour, management style and business
practices constitute a business environment which is
very different from that of the Western world and Hong
Kong.
The China Business Studies Major of the BBA (Hons) Degree
Programme is a broadly-based business programme, providing
a systematic training of the institutional, operational
and behavioural aspects of China Business. The specific
objectives are to provide students with:
1. A clear understanding of the economic structure,
legal framework, and business environment of China.
2. The knowledge required for conducting China business,
with special emphasis on marketing and finance.
3. The ability to integrate the complex dimensions of
China business in making appropriate business and management
decisions.
4. Communication and interpersonal skills, with special
focus on Chinese organisational behaviour and Chinese
style of management.
