Peking University's MBA program has seen foreign students increase to 40 percent of total MBA students from just 5 percent five years ago. For them, the opportunity to exchange knowledge with classmates from around the world and to gain experience in another culture is one of the MBA program's most valuable benefits.

Thienprasiddhi said, "There are a lot to gain...networking from friendships, teachers, knowledge about financing class, business plan..."

Although the opportunities are huge, there are still a lot of challenges in doing business in this dynamic market.

Professor Yao said, "The most challenging part is to understand the Chinese economic system, during the transformation from a planned economic system, to a market economy..."

Still, with all these possibilities comes a lot of pressure. Laura says it's harder than she originally thought to bring in customers, and Premy believes the challenge is in teaming up with more local business partners. For Mark, the dream has just begun. But nothing seems to stop the allure of opportunity in the world's most dynamic economy holding the keys to the world's largest market.
