Ma, who was formerly an English teacher before he became one of China’s most successful business figures, taught students at a special two-hour seminar on the evening of June 12, about management philosophy and how they can achieve success, according to a statement from the University of Tokyo on Friday. Ma’s talk — to students from Japan, China, India, Malaysia, and elsewhere — was based on “his rich experience and pioneering knowledge of entrepreneurship and innovation,” the statement added.
His return was a symbolic move and probably a “planned media event” by Beijing intended to appease private sector fears, according to analysts. Ma has appeared in public more frequently this year, with a more visible focus on researching and teaching. In April, the University of Hong Kong announced that Ma would join its business school for the next three years. Ma became a professor at the University of Tokyo on May 1, and his period of stay is until October 31, a profile page of Ma shows.
