The MIT Sloan Chinese Business Forum aims to develop, share and sharpen insights for teaching and research regarding Chinese firms that operate globally.\[1\] It brings together selected faculty, doctoral students and practitioners from MIT Sloan, its partner schools in China and elsewhere\[2\], and individuals from the broader academic and managerial community who are genuinely committed to the development of courseware for learning that is concept-based, problem-driven and action-oriented.
The Chinese Business Forum is a virtual community that hosts existing materials and creates dialogues for collective learning to generate a set of courseware\[3\]and provide the basis for analytical articles. All members of the MIT Sloan Chinese Business Forum shall be _active{_}contributors to our material building and are invited to have a monthly online meeting with key faculty at MIT as well as schools abroad.
Materials developed and posted on the China Business Forum sites\[4\] will be "open-source" in nature and available for use under the Creative Commons License.\[5\] The final courseware products will be multi-authored and the authorship is determined by each individual member's contribution to the courseware development, as judged jointly by the Chinese Business Forum members. |

2) automotive producers and suppliers. Membership
Participation in the MIT Sloan China Business Forum will be based on a commitment to actively contribute to the Forum and the consent of the Forum members, and initially by the two lead MIT Sloan faculty members - Don Lessard and Yasheng Huang. See more recent news in the About Us section. |
