Case 1: UEA students joined an exclusive eye-opening GDT field trip to Alibaba

A group of UEA students joined an exclusive field trip to Alibaba’s headquarter in Hangzhou on 29-31 March 2019.

With implementation of the GDT initiative for UEA eCommerce programmes, it was the first time for Alibaba to have opened its door to UEA students in China. Moreover, the whole field trip was tailor-made for UEA students, offering an eye-opening journey with a range of carefully designed activities including visits, workshops and group projects.

Apart from visiting the Alibaba Xixi campus and the flagship Hema store for a market survey, students were invited to visit Booster, one of Alibaba’s very first SME partners in China, providing online platform operation services to over 100 global companies now.

What’s special about this GDT field trip is that it’s task-bearing. All students are assigned with group projects that require intensive discussion and reflection throughout the two-day event. Each group is expected to complete a market analysis for a local product that is imported from their home country and currently sold in China.
