Management education in Hong Kong: needs and challenges

Examines Hong Kong′s current requirements in terms of management training and development against the various challenges to be met in providing for those needs. Much of the available training material is produced by Western theorists and practitioners and aimed at Western consumers. The problems involved in transferring such material to the Hong Kong context far exceed those of language and translation. Considerable cultural gaps have to be narrowed, not only in adapting the training material to ensure its relevance, but also in matters of style of delivery, in order to meet the training needs of today′s Chinese students of management.
