If the course belongs to international or practical areas, Antai EMBA will invite outside industry experts to teach (FA-6, FA-16), because of their rich industry expertise (FA-7) and relatively close relationship with the government (FA-8), so that they can bring to students with different ways of thinking (FA-9).
If the nature of the course is academic or theory-oriented (FA-10), it will be taught by SJTU teacher (FA-11). These teachers are long engaged in research and teaching, and have profound insights of the issues about China's economic reform and Chinese business.10 Therefore, Antai EMBA teacher’s profession is also highly supported and endorsed by the government (FA-14, FA-21), and some teachers also serve as government advisers (FA-15, FA-16). Government and school offer a number of resources to them (FA-17, FA-18, FA-19), because this is also regarded as honor for the school (FA-20).
According to the official 2015 website of Antai EMBA and recruiting brochure, Antai EMBA has thirty-one professors.

shipping center. Table 4-2 shows the relationship of the professional fields of Antai EMBA faculty group and Shanghai's future development. 12 The interviewee mentioned that Antai EMBA professors tend to link up some cases and the practical problems, demand, and management challenges of Shanghai in their teaching process (FA-12) in order to stimulate students thinking and applying what they have learned (FA-13). The research expertise fields of Antai EMBA Professors are quite diverse, but we can see from Table 4-2 that the main fields are Financial and Economic Research. If the professor's course or research is relevant areas of strategic management, marketing, Internet, e-commerce, business models, innovation and other related subjects, we assume that those will directly relate to Shanghai as an international trade center in the future. Because in the developing process of Shanghai into a global trading center, companies must innovate their strategies, and adjust their marketing tactics or operation model with the trend of global competition and trade patterns.
Besides, as striving for becoming the international shipping and logistics centers, logistics services need the re-integration of logistics resources, all logistics activities in the aspects of manufacturing, supply, and sales must be reviewed. Therefore, the utilization of e-commerce platform to provide customers with high efficiency, accurate, instant services is particularly important. Professional talents who understand e-commerce with supply chain management theory and practice, and internet economic talents who understand IT with commerce will directly affect the development of Shanghai e-commerce and aviation logistics system. So we assumed the professional
