From a material expert, to an entrepreneur in the field of education, then a manager in leading internet companies – behind Ping Zhifei’s every career transition, the knowledge, resources and vision obtained from his Fudan MBA study have played a part.
For Ping, not only did the experience help him to catch up on professional knowledge in management, it also made possible the countless collisions of thought with his classmates and professors. The free, creative atmosphere of Fudan University, the prestigious entrepreneurial competition, guidance from professors and alumni, as well as the financial support, all rendered Fudan MBA almost an incubator of entrepreneurs.
The Fudan MBA study also offered an international perspective. With a full scholarship, Ping studied in the University of Zurich in Switzerland as an exchange student for one semester, which allowed him to learn more about the differences in cultures as well as in management thinking between the Eastern and the Western worlds.
Ping advised students seeking career transition to take their time in self-discovery and preparation. “Fudan MBA will help you to find your niche,” Ping said. “It’s like an accelerator that helps us to become the person we want to be in the workplace.”
