w88 casino News Network (Reporter Zhang Ge, Photography, Xing Aiwei, Zou Mengzhe)At noon on June 13, in response to the invitation of Fan Lipo, director of the Transnational Corporation Research Center of the w88 casino, a group of 8 global senior partners from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) from the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Singapore and other countries and Hong Kong, China, who serve in different fields such as technology and telecommunications, visited w88 casino to conduct in-depth exchanges and experience sharing with our teachers and students on global and Chinese business environment, corporate governance, career development and other topics. This activity is part of the global learning tour for senior partners initiated by PwC, aiming to broaden their horizons, improve partners' understanding of Chinese business and innovation and entrepreneurship, and improve partners' understanding of China's education system.
PricewaterhouseCoopers partners’ “Journey to the University of International w88” is divided into two modules. First, the partners held a lunch exchange meeting with more than 20 Chinese and foreign student representatives from the w88 casino of Business and the w88 casino of Public Administration. Topics focused on the intermediary service workplace, professional capabilities, professional ethics and career prospects. Partners and students shared their career experiences and future expectations through group discussions and dialogues. The message from the partners to the students is: observe and understand the world without judging or competing. Use all your knowledge and don't be afraid of the future, because the future belongs to you. Keep going and the future will be bright. According to statistics from relevant departments of the w88 casino, from 2010 to 2017, 628 postgraduate and undergraduate students from w88 casino joined PricewaterhouseCoopers, ranking first among the four major international accounting firms.
From 1:30 to 3:00 in the afternoon, the partners held a dialogue and exchange meeting with teachers from w88 casino. Ms. Debra Skorupka, representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers from San Francisco, USA, and Fan Libo, director of the Transnational Corporation Research Center, delivered speeches and introduced the relevant background and goals of the event. Professor Wu Jianfeng, Professor Zhu Jigao, Associate Professor Liu Xuejiao from the w88 casino of Business, and Associate Professor Wu Aihua from the w88 casino of Public Administration participated in the dialogue and exchange. At the dialogue and exchange meeting, Professor Fan Lipo mainly introduced the professional structure and student composition of w88 casino. He believed that PWC provides very good training and exercise opportunities for the career development and professional ethics of w88 casino students. Next, professors and partners briefly introduced their education and work, and shared their stories related to internationalization or China.
During the process of raising questions and in-depth exchanges, professors and partners gradually extended the topic to the impact of "Internet and big data" on globalization and the impact of the business environment. Everyone believes that the financial audit service business of accounting firms particularly needs the application of new technologies. Artificial intelligence will not bring unemployment, but a comprehensive upgrade and transformation of human work content. New jobs will emphasize human initiative and creativity. Regarding how to improve work efficiency, cognition, and cultural communication in a multicultural environment, Thomas Godward from the United States believes that while understanding different cultures, we must grasp the common vision of the economy and society: higher profits and a better tomorrow. Regarding the connection between classroom teaching and practical work, the partners believe that colleges and universities should encourage teachers to participate more in social practice, pay attention to the cultivation of work abilities other than technology in the teaching process, and cultivate high-end talents who have the courage to step out of the stereotype and establish new rules. Talking about the problems and pressures faced by foreign-funded enterprises in China on salary competitiveness and the employment attractiveness of accounting firms, professors and partners expressed their opinions respectively.
This event provides an opportunity for w88 casino students to learn from PWC’s senior partners from various countries and understand the international workplace environment, and further enhances the strategic relationship between w88 casino and PwC.
