November 28, the “2025 China Business School Development Forum and Education Ceremony” jointly organized by MBAChina and Manager Magazine was grandly held in Beijing. More than 300 participants—including institutional leaders, scholars, and program directors—from over 100 institutions nationwide attended the forum.
Professor Liu Xiaoyuan, Deputy Director of the MBA Education Center and Associate Dean of CUFE Business School, was invited to participate in an in-depth roundtable discussion themed “New Strategies for Enrollment Breakthrough and Growth in Chinese Business Schools.” Professor Liu noted that the part-time MBA enrollment quota of CUFE MBA Program ranks among the highest among universities in Beijing. To respond to current challenges and opportunities, CUFE MBA Program has implemented two major strategic initiatives. First, the program proactively embraces the era of digital intelligence to enhance its overall value. In addition to its established strengths in Financial Management, Accounting and Financial Management, Business Management, and Finance and Big Data Marketing, the program has recently launched several new specialized tracks targeting niche markets. These include Business Computing and Digital Management, Digital Intelligence Cultural Management, Longma Financial Leadership, and Technology Entrepreneurship and Investment. In the future, the program plans to further expand its educational approach by integrating high-quality resources from other universities and introducing additional specialization tracks. Second, the program has organized a series of initiatives centered on enrollment promotion and brand value, extending the program's brand value by building a business education ecosystem. For example, expand the depth and breadth of the GEMBA program by actively engaging with local chambers of commerce during international study tours to support MBA students' personal career development and overseas business expansion.
