To have achieved a world ranking of 6^th place for its Executive MBA program is a truly remarkable achievement for an institution less than 15 years old. Not only does this demonstrate the strength of the HKUST Business School, but it reflects the ability of the School to leverage its resources through collaboration, in this case with the world class Kellogg School at Northwestern University. It is also an endorsement of the School's commitment to programs solidly based on the latest research findings. The quality of HKUST research in business is cited in many of the program rankings, and evident in its leading record of publication in the leading journals. There is no insurmountable obstacle to achieving a ranking among the world's top 25 business schools, and HKUST is committed to this goal.

To fully exploit the global visibility that has been achieved by the management education and research programs based in the School, HKUST will develop a premium center for executive and professional education and training on its campus. Sited on the apex of the campus site, with unforgettable views to complement its five star facilities, this world class facility will become one of the top centers in the world for high end workshops, short courses, and executive programs of longer duration. As China develops into one of the world's economic superpowers, the HKUST center will be the place to come to see the transformation first hand and learn about it from the world's top experts. With this center as a focus, Hong Kong will be one of the world's leading centers for business education and research, and the window through which the world views the economic revolution taking place on the Mainland.
