The GMC is a global business management simulation competition that spans five continents and has a history of over twenty years. Competing teams are required to make scientific decisions based on current situations, integrating knowledge from human resources, production, finance, marketing, and other areas. It is a highly influential global competition that can significantly enhance the practical abilities of participants.
This training event invited Gu Yilin, an alumnus with extensive GMC coaching experience, along with 3 seniors who ranked in the top three in the 2024 GMC Macau Regional Competition: Wang Ziyu (champion), Liu Zijian, and He Peijian (second runner-up). They shared their experiences from various aspects of the competition, inspiring their juniors to inherit and promote GMC practical skills. The training event was hosted by Liang Yuyang, Head of the Public Relations Department of MUSTMSBSA, with over 80 students attending in person and more than a hundred participating online.
Professor Tang Huajun, Assistant Dean of MSB, addressed an opening speech emphasizing the importance of GMC for students in applying various business knowledge in practical training. He encouraged students to actively participate in the competition with a spirit of innovation and perseverance, learning from and inheriting the successful experiences of their predecessors, and looking forward to their excellent performances in the coming competition.
