Edison’s dictum on developing new ideas comes to mind as my group finishes up our GOTO (Global Opportunities and Threats Oxford) assignment. Not that we believe ourselves or our work as genius, but, boy, did we perspire. Which brings me to the main point of this blog post: “How much work does an EMBA student […]

I’ve been asked recently by some people that intend to join the Oxford Executive MBA programme: how is the experience? Is it worth it? Being at the programme mid-point, I made a more solid view.

Oxford, city of dreaming spires. Coming to Oxford, feels like a dream. Like a superman, putting on a cape, flying to Oxford, leaving daily life and noise behind, living a mysterious life, dreaming the dreams.
