NYU Shanghai partners with Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business for research, teaching programs

NEW York University Shanghai and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) signed a Memorandum of Understanding for strategic education cooperation recently, aiming to establish a joint center for research and teaching in the next three years, NYU said yesterday.

Under the MoU, the two institutions vow to explore the establishment of an NYU Shanghai-CKGSB joint graduate program and plan course exchanges with CKGSB faculty teaching commercial and business courses at NYU Shanghai, while NYU Shanghai faculty will teach commerce, humanities, art, science and technology courses at CKGSB. Both institutions will also seek to recruit together world-class faculty members. 

Jeffrey Lehman, Vice Chancellor of NYU Shanghai, highlighted the intention to jointly hire faculty as particularly exciting and one that gives the MoU great substance.

“The cooperation between two highly complementary top schools will bring tremendous mutual benefit,” Lehman said. “However, our collaboration should go beyond simply course exchange. The joint faculty hiring could be an exciting game changer.”

Lode Li, professor of Operations Management and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at CKGSB, was so pleased to witness the collaboration between NYU Shanghai and CKGSB becoming official.

“Starting today, these two great schools will be able to share their resources in areas of teaching and research,” said Li. “I believe that this is the right direction to go in this age of the sharing economy.”
