As President of BI Norwegian School of Management I would like to explain why BI is an excellent choice when you are looking for an international program in Business Education.

Since BI was founded in 1943 as a small consultancy, the business school has grown into a fully-fledged, internationally recognized academic institution in the area of Business and Management. In size BI has become the largest business school in Europe and the second largest academic institution in Norway. This is an amazing achievement for a private institution charging tuition fees in an egalitarian country like Norway where higher education is provided for by public universities. An achievement that could only be accomplished through constant innovation and by maintaining uncompromising high standards in research and teaching.

BI is inspired by the Scandinavian tradition of management. Scandinavia is perhaps the closest you can come to a postindustrial knowledge economy. Scandinavian companies are also the innovators of participatory management techniques and network forms of organization. BI adds its focus on ethics and corporate social responsibility to these qualities.

In short, BI Norwegian School of Management is innovative and maintains high standards in research and teaching. It is international, rooted in the Scandinavian tradition of management, and it is future-oriented. If these qualities appeal to you, I look forward to welcoming you to our programs.

Looking ahead, School of Management at FudanUniversity is making unremitting efforts to develop itself into a leading business school in Asia. Through the cooperation and competition with prestigious business schools around the world, the school is learning from the successes and digesting the experience of world-class business education and surpassing itself continuously.  

BI Norwegian School of Management is an exclusively important European partner for our school. Over the last ten years, a highly-valued partnership has been built, enjoyed and treasured by both schools which sustainably combine and integrate both sides’ expertise to provide the state-of-the-art business knowledge and practice for students from China, Norway and other countries, and to cultivate outstanding professional managers with both global competitiveness and local insights for the fast development of Chinese economy as well as leading enterprises at home and abroad.    

The BI-Fudan MBA Program enjoys the value of “join and share”. Fudan joins with BI in developing a quality business education program. The program joins with other programs of the school in sharing resources and experience. The students join with the professors in learning how to manage change in turbulent business environment, with their classmates of diversified backgrounds to learn from each other, and with a wealth of networking among the alumni. During the process of joining and sharing knowledge, experience, success and happiness, the program and the students enjoy the solid growth and premium value.

I am delighted and proud to recommend this program to every young talent with vision, passion and potential, with full confidence that your participation will make this program more prestigious, influential and vigorous. I firmly believe that you, as well as the program, can enjoy more reputation and recognition in the global stage in the foreseeable future.
