Zhang is the chief financial officer for Giant Interactive Group, maker of ZT Online and other games. Zhang said, “Put us in the global context, let’s remove the label ‘Chinese company’ and just say ‘a company’ instead, what is fair valuation for the company?

Allen Wu, a USC grad, was interviewed about his decision to go to China to start his own company. Wu is developing a news aggregation application for mobile devices. He established bases in Beijing and Shenzhen. He said, “Compared with China, the US market focuses more on creativity. When you come up with new ideas, others will try to create something newer to compete. “He noted that, “I truly admire Taiwanese businessman Dai Sheng-yi, founder of Wowprime, a food giant that makes Wang Steaks. Dai will donate 80 per cent of his wealth to Taiwan welfare organisations after he dies…. His goal has been to improve the lives of others. I want to become like him.”

An article highlighted the USC Marshall School’s global executive MBA program, launched in 2004. The program is designed to give mid-career professionals an international experience, broadening the scope of their knowledge, said Baizhu Chen of the USC Marshall School, the program’s academic director. Students are typically around 38 years old with 15 years of work experience, Chen said. He added that because they come from different backgrounds, students “need to learn how to work in a diverse culture. You're not in a familiar environment. Their native language is not the same as yours.”
