He received\u00a0a Master&#8217;s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2010 and previously worked in high-tech industry at Ericsson. Last May, Edward participated in Darden\u2019s Shanghai Investing Summit and Global Leadership Forum in Shanghai before beginning at Darden in August 2015. During this year, Edward has\u00a0been involved with the\u00a0Consulting Club and General Management Club and took a few minutes to share his reflections on his time at Darden so far: <\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"has-dropcap\">W<\/span>hy did you chose to come to Darden and how\u00a0did you hear\u00a0about the school?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I chose Darden mainly because of two reasons: people and case method. When I applied for the MBA, the biggest driver for me was the alumni network and the culture. Darden was famous for its close-knit and collaborative culture. This was proved through my communications with currently\u00a0enrolled students and alumni in China. I can still remember the moment when I received a call from a very senior alumnus to congratulate me on my offer from Darden and kindly share his experiences at Darden.\u00a0In addition to the great\u00a0people, I appreciate\u00a0Darden\u2019s case method. I was looking for a business school where I could enormously develop my business acumen and interpersonal skills, which I believe are two cornerstones for a successful manager. After my research and conversations with Darden alumni, I was pretty confident that learning through the\u00a0case method was the perfect way to meet my goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you think about the case method of teaching and how does it compare with the way you\u2019ve been taught formally in the past?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Case method is really amazing! Students read 500 real-life business cases during the 2-year MBA study. I really enjoy reading these cases\u00a0through which I have learned different industries and developed my business acumen. In addition, the case method\u00a0helps to develop one&#8217;s\u00a0strong communication and interpersonal skills. As an international student, I benefited a lot from the case method by pushing myself out of the comfort zone to participate in class discussions. Last but not least, case method is a platform for people to share different views on one same issue. It is really fascinating to see how diverse people\u2019s ideas are and how this could relate to future management decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are your plans for the summer?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have several offers and have not made the decision yet. Very possibly, I will join a F500 company for its Commercial Leadership Program designed to develop talents into future global leaders of this company in 5 years. Also, I am planning to spend more time with my family and travel around in the States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are your goals for your second year at Darden?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being an entrepreneur has always been something I want to try out. This is\u00a0my main goal\u00a0for my second year at Darden. Darden has a great entrepreneurship platform, the\u00a0iLab. I am planning to team up with other talented students\u00a0at Darden and even from the U.Va. community to experiment with\u00a0some new business ideas.\u00a0The iLab opportunity\u00a0has become more attractive to me after\u00a0connecting with\u00a0a classmate who has received a lot of tutoring and valuable resources for her current business idea of running a boutique on-line store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kate Beach Ning (Edward) Kang, currently a first year residential MBA student at Darden, is originally from Beijing, China.
