«China is one of the most important market economy players on a global scale and as ESCP we think it is essential to aim to develop a training offer that not only includes, but sets the stage to live this great country in a direct and complementary way - states Prof. Francesco Rattalino Dean of ESCP Torino Campus -. The growth strategy of our Business School aims at exploiting the most challenging opportunities: first of all to offer students, whatever their nationality or career path, international and intensive training in management and, secondly, to provide companies with resources that reflect the requirements of internationality, multiculturalism and multilingualism. The encounter with the Chinese economic environment is a crucial learning experience and has now become a must for those who want to work in the global market. Through the ChinaMed Business Program we refine high-potential profiles that are suitable for positions anywhere in the world».
