Professor White explained that Chinese corporations are facing the world market now just as the Japanese corporations in 1980s. Employees competent in multinational cooperation are in shortage, just as it was in Japan in 1980s. And this capability is a kind of process knowledge; knowledge has to be learned during the process, and he believes strongly that the IMBA program offers the chance to experience this process. That’s why Professor White’s Managerial Thinking course not only focuses on the team projects themselves, but also focuses on the reflection of the teams. For IMBA students, Professor White’s lectures are usually demanding, inspiring and informative. Students are pushed to discuss more and dig more to reach an unexpected level of thinking. Students are always inspired by the dynamic cases and his vivid narratives. Professor White believes the content of teaching should both be experiential and conceptual, and every five minutes of the teaching flow should be well designed beforehand.
