Enhancing Financial Management Thinking - Nurturing Business Leaders
We are at a time when Mainland China's economy and financial sector are experiencing rapid growth. It has become the world's second largest economy and the driving force of the world economy. While the Mainland China's financial market needs to be more closely aligned with the rest of the world, it also needs to develop its own financial development path. This will put the industry under pressure and will be challenging in various aspects. The financial and business management industry has become increasingly demanding. On the one hand, people in the industry need to have relevant financial and investment management experience and knowledge; on the other hand, they need to have a global perspective and a good understanding of the world's best financial and business management models. At the same time, the market also requires financial and business managers to demonstrate a wide range of competencies.
Demonstrating the Value of Innovative Finance and the Benefits of Innovative Management
HKU Institute for China Business (HKU ICB), with the core objective of "demonstrating the value of innovative finance and the benefits of innovative management", brings together HK's status as an international financial hub and its world-class education system and resources to offer a theoretical and practical programme in Finance and Business Management (FBM) for business executives who need to upgrade their knowledge in finance and investment to meet the needs of the financial and economic markets. The programme is built on three dimensions:
International Expertise in Innovative Financial Management
"Stand Tall and Look Further"

Introducing effective implementation of financial risk control, corporate internal control systems, value negotiation and financial technology models through an innovative management approach to complement each other and reflect the value of the project and the value of business intelligence.
Leading Corporate Change Striding into the Future
"Everything changes"

It is necessary to lead a company to make changes and strengthen the ability to make decisions to maintain the growth of the company.
