Dean and Professor of Accounting

Mr. Bing Xiang is the Dean of the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), based in Beijing and having additional campuses in Shanghai and Guangzhou. CKGSB is China's first private, non-profit and independent business school, founded in 2002 by Li Ka-shing, Asia's most successful entrepreneur.

Dean Xiang received his bachelor's degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University and his MBA and Ph.D. at the University of Alberta, Canada. He was one of seven founding faculty members of the China-Europe International Business School, pioneered and provided leadership in the EMBA and Executive Education programs at Guangha School of Management of Peking University, served on the faculty of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and has delivered executive programs at many worldclass corporations and universities.

Dean Xiang's recent publications and speeches have focused on his belief that "over the next decade many of China's most successful entrepreneurs will shift their focus from making money to effectively using wealth for the good of society" and the challenges of globalization, including corruption, family enterprise management and the structural limits of the modern enterprises in China.

Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business' mission is to generate worldclass insights on management theory and practice and to develop leaders for a new era of global business in China and beyond. It offers MBA, EMBA and Executive Education programs. CKGSB is the only business school in China with the reputation and resources to attract faculty from leading business schools such as Wharton, Stanford, New York University and INSEAD. The majority of CKGSB faculty members were born and raised in China, left to study and teach abroad prior to returning to China. Their bicultural backgrounds have endowed them with a valuable capacity to interpret global business in the context of both China and the West.

Dean Xiang is an independent and non-executive director of the China Dongxiang Company, Ltd., Dan Form Holdings Company Ltd., Enerchina Holdings Ltd. and HC International, Inc.
