DESCRIPTION:

This note discusses the important collaborative role that business schools in China and Pakistan may play to support China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship component of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Given the vast scale of investment and infrastructure development related to this initiative, it is important to pay attention to the enormous need of technically and cross-culturally competent managers and business leaders to support this initiative. The note offers a brief overview of CPEC, highlights the human resource needs in its wake and outlines various fields within which business schools in both countries could support each other as well as public and private sectors in the successful designing and execution of CPEC projects. The note also offers some examples of cooperation already taking place among universities and business schools in China and Pakistan in support of CEPC. It also suggests some activities and deliverables of the proposed cooperation among business schools along the Belt and Road.
