This study seeks to determine to what extent Chinese institutions have absorbed Western principles of management and management education. Over the past 30 years, China has sought to develop management professionals who can steward companies both in the domestic and global marketplace. Due to knowledge gaps within the Chinese university system, universities have created partnerships with Western institutions to design and deliver MBA programs within China. Significant cultural, organizational and educational differences between China and the West make it unclear to what extent Western concepts of management and management education are being applied in China. Examination of the reasons behind the formation of joint Chinese/Western MBA partnerships, as well as how such partnerships evolve over time, reveals how relevant Western management and management education are to China over the long term.

520 $a This study seeks to determine to what extent Chinese institutions have absorbed Western principles of management and management education. Over the past 30 years, China has sought to develop management professionals who can steward companies both in the domestic and global marketplace. Due to knowledge gaps within the Chinese university system, universities have created partnerships with Western institutions to design and deliver MBA programs within China. Significant cultural, organizational and educational differences between China and the West make it unclear to what extent Western concepts of management and management education are being applied in China. Examination of the reasons behind the formation of joint Chinese/Western MBA partnerships, as well as how such partnerships evolve over time, reveals how relevant Western management and management education are to China over the long term.
520 $a Using grounded-theory research methods, this study builds understanding of the environment in which Chinese business schools operate, how schools use partnership with Western institutions and how knowledge is transferred via partnership. A combination of interviews, practitioner inquiry, participant observation and document analysis across multiple institutions provided data for the study. Findings suggest that network development (guanxi ) rather than inquiry-based knowledge development remains the primary operating principle of Chinese business schools. Partnerships exploit existing knowledge in order to enhance status rather than explore models that can influence China's economic development. In light of this, the study offers suggestions on effective ways for Western institutions to partner with Chinese business schools to ensure that programs remain knowledge based.
