China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) successfully held the inaugural OBHDP Paper Development Workshop (PDW) at its Shanghai campus on 21 May 2026. This marked the first PDW hosted by the prestigious FT50 journal Organisational Behaviour and Human Decision Processes (OBHDP) in Asia in recent years and stands as one of the largest academic events ever organised by the CEIBS Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management (OBHRM) group. The workshop drew hundreds of participants from across Asia, including the Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and other regions. It brought together world-renowned journal editors-in-chief, associate editors, senior scholars and promising young researchers to advance high-quality academic research and exchanges in organisational behaviour, human resource management, applied psychology, marketing and consumer behaviour.

As Chinese companies navigate a more complex and fragmented global landscape, overseas expansion is evolving from a mere growth option into a strategic imperative, said Managing Partner of InterChina Eduardo Morcillo at a CEIBS Executive Forum on the school’s Shanghai campus today.

The 7th Annual CEIBS Organisational Behaviour & Human Resource Management Symposium, hosted by CEIBS’ OB/HR Department, took place at Academic Centre 3-117 on November 20, 2025. Centering on “Navigating New Frontiers: Work and Leadership in the Age of Technology”, the event gathered over 80 professors, doctoral students, and practitioners worldwide. As a key academic forum, it provided a platform for sharing cutting-edge research in OB/HR management.

"The effectiveness of a corporate board depends not only on the technical depth of its members but also on the breadth of their strategic and leadership capabilities."

As Chinese enterprises accelerate their global expansion, their effective transition from simple “Made in China” products to internationally recognised global brands has never been more critical.

"They may feel that the business is their own achievement and are unwilling to hand it over to the next generation."

“The older generations grew up in very tough times. But the younger generations are raised in a very comfortable environment and they don’t have the chance to prove themselves.”
