2018 Portugal-China Lab Project is Open for Application

Since 2011 the Fudan MBA Program has collaborated with the Lisbon MBA on the Portugal-China Lab, which provides students with a breadth of academic curriculum and a unique learning experience in an overseas environment.

Scope of Collaboration:

The MBA programs collaborate in the Portugal-China Lab initiative with the aim of

l  Offering the MBA students access to a global experience that involves approaching an actual business problem in mixed teams of MBA students from the Fudan International MBA and the Lisbon MBA generating value for the sponsoring company.

l  Strengthening the relationship among top business schools that have in common collaboration with MIT Sloan School of Management.

l  Giving corporations access to local and foreign talents in the approach to a business problem that can benefit from an qualified external and diverse perspective.

l  Strengthening the relationship among Portugal and China through the bridge already established by the corporate world and the governments.

Overview of the Portugal – China Lab:

l  A company in Portugal selects a business project to be developed by MBA students and sponsors the initiative. This year we will collaborate with Super Bock Group, the largest Portuguese beverage company with a multi-brand, multi-market strategy, whose core business is based on its operations in the Beer and Bottled water businesses.

l  For this project, a team of 6 students (3 from each school) is selected using a rigorous selection process.

l  The project will be conducted under the guidance of a faculty mentor from each school.

l  The lab will run for eight weeks over the course of the summer, with the team working in China for the first two weeks, three or four weeks of virtual work, and coming together in Portugal for the final two weeks to present their findings to the sponsoring company.

l  The sponsoring company will support the travel and accommodation costs of MBA students and faculty members while performing Portugal-China Lab tasks abroad.
