Abstract—Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) is the cradle of entrepreneurs and professional managers. As founders, entrepreneurs have been in a homogeneous environment for a long time. In addition to understanding the companies they founded, they don’t know as much about other companies as professional managers, and in the private board of directors, they can see the outside world. First of all, Private Board of Directors is different from traditional business school education. The teaching model of Private Board of Directors makes learning more interactive. Traditional business school education is standardized and focuses on knowledge logic. But private board meetings are personalized, and learning from each other puts more emphasis on self-perception. Private boards are organized differently. Since the private board of directors has strict control over the size of the group, has strict requirements for member qualifications, and has a complete set of activity rules, the longer it takes, the longer it will take. The longer the students stay together, the more in-depth the communication between the private board members will be. Entrepreneurs, as leaders, are rarely challenged within the company. But the private board of directors is different. All members are equal. The practical teaching principle of Hong Kong Asia Business College’s EMBA is to fully unleash the effectiveness of existing models and innovative models.
