VIDEO: How I built a career-changing network as a Zhejiang MBA student

Hear from MBA students and faculty at Zhejiang University School of Management about how the right network can shape your career

Sponsored by Zhejiang University School of Management

In this latest video by GMAC, professor Fadong Chen and MBA students Wu Lun, Richie Kid Novell, and Ruan Jinping share how the Global MBA at Zhejiang University School of Management connects students with classmates, alumni, and industry leaders in Hangzhou, one of China's leading technology and innovation hubs.


After running businesses in Indonesia for two years, Richie Kid, who is originally from Malaysia, joined the MBA to learn about business strategy in China.

"China thinks about strategy in [terms of] decades, and that was the perspective I needed," he says.

Meanwhile, Ruan highlights the role of Zhejiang's network in helping her build a strong network throughout the MBA.

"Zhejiang University provides an incredible network, and they actively push us to leverage it," she says.

For Wu, that network translated into opportunities to collaborate with different industries and countries. In one MBA business project, her team developed a go-to-market strategy that incorporated diverse perspectives into a business plan.
