Berkeley Asian Fellows Program
2008 Wang Fellows
The Asia Business Center at the Haas School of Business works with Asian institutions including universities and government agencies to help train leaders in their home countries. The ABC has started with the following five regions (see partners): China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
This highly competitive fellows program sponsors promising leaders from Asia to attend the Berkeley Executive Leadership Program run by UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. The leaders are selected jointly by ABC and its strategic partners in China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The curriculum addresses how to lead and execute change and turn opportunity into growth and action. In addition, the fellows have a great opportunity to network with professors at the Haas School of Business as well as with business leaders in the Bay Area.
Program Details
Academic, business, and government leaders are selected to travel to Berkeley for a three month period in either the Fall or Spring semesters. During this time, the participants will attend two of the four modules of the executive leadership training course:
• Leading Change—Demystifying Uncertainty
• Turning Opportunity into Growth
• Leading Strategic Execution
• The Leader’s Mindset: Shift Intent into Action
Through classroom and experiential learning, each participant leaves the program equipped to become an effective leader in their home institution.
Berkeley Faculty
Fellows will interact through lectures and seminars with world-renowned researchers on the Berkeley campus, host to seven Nobel Prize winners and over 200 fellows of the Academies of Sciences and Engineering.
Bay Area Businesses
Additionally, fellows are encouraged to visit highly successful companies in the Bay Area to observe first-hand how effective leaders lead. The collective human resources in the area is unsurpassed.
The alumni of each program will become a part of the Network of Scholars. This network will be invited to participate in the ABC's leadership speaker series, cutting-edge research, and future UC Berkeley endeavors.
