China's first "MBA monks"

Chinanews, Shanghai, June 30 - China's first "MBA training course for
monks" held a graduation ceremony at the Antai College of Economics &
Management of Shanghai Jiao Tong University on June 28. Eight graduates
dressed in yellow monastic robes and 10 kulapatis solemnly received their
graduation certificates from their teachers.
As they graduated, the second MBA training course for 16 monks and
kulapatis was also inaugurated on the same day.
It is unprecedented in China's Buddhist circle for monks to take MBA
courses. Monk Juexing, abbot of Jade Buddha Temple who initiated this
bold idea, said that as a famous temple in an international metropolis,
it is necessary to learn from the ideas and approaches of modern business
administration to elevate the management level of the temple. "This is
not for faddism, but for concretely acquiring knowledge."
Therefore, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has prepared original materials
for "the MBA core curriculum extension course for the senior management
staff of Jade Buddha Temple". The content includes organizational
behavior, human resource management, strategic planning, marketing and
financial management.
In class, teachers talk with this special group of students on such
topics as Japan's electronic appliances, the throughput of Yangshan Deep
Water Port and the restriction of natural landform on Zhenjiang's urban
development. All students must pass exams and oral defense before they
can graduate. Quite a few students have written high-quality papers.
