The World Class Partnership
The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA programWhere two outstanding schools come together to
offer one remarkable management program.
We call it simply ‘The
World Class’
The partnership between the Kellogg School of Management at
Northwestern University (Kellogg) and the Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology’s School of Business and Management (HKUST)
spans two continents and draws on exceptional faculty members from
around the globe. On offer is a program that pushes participants to their
limits and gives them the insights and skills to transform the business
environment around them.
Challenging, enriching, transformative: these are all words past
participants have used to describe the effect on their lives and careers
of joining the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program. Beside the
knowledge gained and the skills imparted by the course, the interaction
with academic and business leaders is priceless, and the networks built
between participants both valuable and enduring.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) was inaugurated in
1991. Unbiased observers regularly note that its School of Business and Management
(HKUST Business School) has risen to international prominence in a remarkably short
period of time.
The HKUST Business School now has around 140 faculty members. The best minds
among business academics have assembled in this dynamic arena of research and
teaching, sharing its challenging mission and vision. All senior faculty members have
extensive teaching experience in the leading business schools.
The synergy between Kellogg School of Management
and HKUST Business School offers students a chance
to understand the business perspectives of two
dynamic and highly-competitive regions of the world.
We embrace a real spirit of innovation and a desire to
place our high-caliber students at the cutting-edge in
terms of management knowledge and skills. Our worldclass faculty encourages and enables our students to
think sharply and deeply about the future and the global
context in which they operate, just as we do ourselves.
The two schools’ continuing pursuit of excellence has
helped to ensure that our program remains a leader in

lifelong career development.

Getting an MBA was unfinished business having started my own business at 21. Twelve
years thereafter my company suffered tremendously during the Asian and Russian
financial crisis in 1998, I felt the need to not only to learn new skills but to strengthen
my confidence and enthusiasm. Where better could one do this than the Kellogg-HKUST
EMBA program which brought in 40 diverse individuals and a multinational and world
class faculty? This program has helped me to re-shape & evolve my business and my
personal development in ways I could never have imaged.

The world
is your classroom
There has never been a better time to gain a deeper
education, informed by an economic landscape that spans
the entire world. Our next significant leaders will need a
truly global focus as economies are in flux and power bases
shift. They will also need local perspectives and knowledge
and the networks of contacts to draw upon as they balance
theory and practice.
Educating leaders in an understanding of economic and
political forces, academic subjects and market dynamics
is our mission. The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA
program brings leaders together in an intellectual quest
that spans six continents. The journey is enriching,
distinguished by fresh insights and valuable new
networks. Many view the program as the highlight of
their career, a gateway to a truly global advantage.

The program offers electives for students to travel to Kellogg partner schools. I spent 2
weeks at the Kellogg school’s Miami campus for a course on Wall Street, hedge funds
and leveraged buyout issues and International Finance with students from all over the
world. Group work together with these students was international to say the least. It
was an extremely interesting and amazing experience. The program gives us a good
platform to meet people whom we would not regularly meet or get to know in depth.

One of the unique features of the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program is that
it really is an international business program. The faculty are from top
international business schools and the students are from all over the world.
This program gave us an excellent opportunity to have an insight into what
international business leaders are thinking and doing, and to share our
management experience with our peers. The vision, experience and friendship
we earn from this program will be the treasure for our lifetime.

Having spent more than 17 years with one company, I started to worry, if I had
become a “frog in a well”. How could I find out what I had been missing, without
having to leave a great organization? It was that curiosity, together with the mindset
of never settling for anything but the very best that got me to the Kellogg-HKUST
EMBA program. In this program, you learn from the best, both professors and fellow
classmates. I not only learnt a lot, but was also able to apply what I learned almost
immediately. As a result of this learning experience, I’m a more confident leader and
have a diverse network of friends and fellow alums from all over the world.

Kellogg and HKUST, two globally recognized names. Its well-designed curriculum
and great location are just two of the things that attracted me to the Kellogg-HKUST
EMBA program. Throughout the program, my expectations were supported by my
experience both inside and outside of the classroom. Interacting with world-class faculty
and classmates from truly professional, diverse and international backgrounds was
truly inspirational. The program has been both intellectually stimulating and thought
provoking. At the same time, it has helped me to build genuine friendships and networks
throughout Asia and beyond. The world of business, which is currently experiencing
significant uncertainty, requires the leadership competencies of confidence, vision,
entrepreneurship and passion. The energy, enthusiasm and commitment you see during
the program convinced me of the potential and power of this program.
25
Tailored for business executives
The class schedule
is uniquely designed
around weekend blocks
to allow participants to
continue their careers
while they study
Classes are held on Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays. The
program starts with one live-in week at HKUST, followed by monthly
live-in weekends for modules 1 – 6, then two live-in weeks at the Kellogg
School and concludes with additional monthly live-in weekends for
modules 7 – 11.
Live-in weeks – important components of the program
The first is held at HKUST in January of the first academic year, and the
second at the Kellogg School’s Allen Center in Chicago, Illinois in August.
Live-in weekends – Modules 1 to 11
Participants meet twice every month on the HKUST campus and stay in
the University Center, which is specially furnished for executives.
Living-in is critical for the optimum development of class identity and
the formation of study groups, while expanding business contacts and
allowing friendships to develop.

The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program has been one of the most mentally stimulating
experiences for me. The quality of the program, my fellow classmates, the lecturers

HONOLULU
Tom Young
Principal
Group 70 International
(KH04, 2001-2002)
When I applied to MBA programs, I was looking for a different perspective than
what I could get in Hawaii. The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program had an international
viewpoint and really delivered an innovative curriculum offering some of the best
marketing and finance courses available in the world. As an architect and marketing
director, the broader viewpoint expands the range of consultation services to resort
and hotel developers. I “commuted” from Hawaii to attend this program and made
some sacrifices. However, in the long run, it was very much worth it all.
HONG KONG
Caron Hughes
Director - Financial Instruments Technical
KPMG
(KH14, 2011-2012)
With more than 12 years of practical experience, I enrolled in this EMBA
program hoping that it would provide a well needed opportunity to consolidate
that knowledge and back it up with the theory and academic study behind those
real life experiences. It has most definitely provided that. But what was more
surprising to me was the value of the additional 60 students, whose stories,
anecdotes and life experiences added extra layers of understanding, perspective
and insight. The professors are excellent, but so are the fellow students that
you meet and connect with during this journey. Invaluable experience!

Perfect learning environments
Kellogg School of Management

Spectacular Clear Water Bay Campus
The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong
Residential facilities
Participants reside in apartments in the University Center. Two participants
share one serviced apartment with separate bedrooms. Participants have
access to catering, sports and recreation facilities.
Teaching facilities
The facilities, designed for the Executive MBA students, include the

CHICAGO
Joshua Scott Chang
Principal and CEO
AllGreen Group
(KH10, 2007-2008)
It was a privilege to be part of a world class program like Kellogg-HKUST;
the administrative staffs, professors, and classmates were outstanding and
encouraging to me as I traveled between Chicago and Asia Pacific to participate in
the program. I had the opportunity to learn to grow with others during exchange
at Tel Aviv and Toronto. It is a rare opportunity in life to be part of a network that is
passionate about learning and wanting to make a contribution to society through
business. The program prepares authentic leaders who will help to transform and
address the challenges that our world faces today and in the future.
Manila
Jimmy Yaokasin
Chairman
Salisbury BKT Securities Corporation
(KH08, 2005-2006)
The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA has opened up a whole new world for me. The professors
were great, the learning was enriching, the management techniques were cutting
edge and most of all, the classmate network was priceless. I realize that while
we may see things and do things differently in various parts of the world, what is
common among us, is the motivation to make a tangible difference in the lives of the
company, community and country we are in.
37
A new window for NPO leaders
There are many qualified
leaders in non-profit
organizations (NPO), and
non-governmental (NGO)
organizations that need
the kind of education the
Kellogg-HKUST program
can provide.
These senior managers can
bring valuable sharing and
perspective into our classroom.
These organizations often lack
the financial means to support a
world class EMBA yet we know
the difference it could make for
their organizations. To recruit the cream of leadership
talent, the NPO Tuition Award
aims to provide support for the
NPO participants in the worldclass program. The Award will
be up to 25% of the program’s
tuition fee.
A generous donation of HK$1.1
million has been made by Prof.
Larry Franklin, a professor who
has taught the program for the
past decade, towards the setting
up of the Award. His donation is
matched by the HKUST Business
School. Alumni have also been
contributing to this fund.
The Award will be given to an
admitted participant who has a
strong background and interest
in NPO work. The candidate will
be required to remain within the
non-profit charitable sector for
an agreed period of time after
graduation.
Thomas Chan,
Honorary President, World Vision China
Board Member, World Vision Hong Kong
(KH03, 2000-2001)
I decided to take the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program because I felt
I needed to learn management techniques and the best practices
of industries from other international executives. The program
taught me how to refin our management in the areas of finance,
marketing, fund-raising and human resources. One of my biggest
challenges is finding ways to inspire and motivate staff. They work
with us because of a shared vision – not for the salary. From the
program I learned how to manage expectations and to align vision
with achievable goals.

recipients of the scholarship in the past:
• Bless China International
• Clinton Foundation
• Greenpeace International
• Hong Kong Education City Ltd.
• The Nesbitt Centre

(KH07, 2004-2005)
The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA has helped me appreciate the business I am in, know
how to manage it effectively and fell comfortable that I can provide leadership to my
organization. By leveraging the 500 years of people experience that I found within
my classroom, I was able to simulate a lot of team changes with my classmates
and understand the impact of my decision on staff and customers before initiating
changes at work. There was something in the classroom that I cannot account for
– the spirit of classroom learning lives on within us and the relationship I have built
during the program continue to grow stronger. I am amazed how much we continue
to explore each other’s passion at work and at home and the nurturing that goes on to
channel this passion into something that my company, friends and family can enjoy.
Thank you for connecting me to my wonderful friends – students and professors, and
the capabilities I now have to support a business.
