What is the management structure of ACES?
ACES is co-owned by American and Chinese nationals who represent top management in the company. Among these are the CEO, Mr. Hung Lau, and our President, Mr. Jijun Sun, who both hold MBAs from Duke Universitys Fuqua School of Business. Additionally, each location has site managers. Local management is aided by the presence of head teachers, who have been promoted from their original position as ESL instructors in order to act as a bridge between the foreign teaching staff and largely Chinese management (and support staff) in order to effectively disseminate information, assure teaching quality, minimize cultural misunderstandings, and voice concerns that any party might have. For the most part, management in ACES is team-based as opposed to strictly hierarchical.
