Features: U.S. Business Week has called Professor Malik one of "Europe's most influential business thinkers," whose courses attract top CEOs from German-speaking countries. Last year (2005) alone, the magazine featured multiple interviews with him, which have sparked widespread response in the U.S. Professor Malik criticizes the short-term behavior of American companies, viewing the U.S. economy as "big but weak," while believing that the European economy is healthier in the long run. He calls on China to abandon the imitation of the American business model and instead vigorously nurture small and medium-sized private enterprises. On August 2, 2006, U.S. Fortune magazine published a cover story titled "Sorry, Jack," which thoroughly reevaluated the American management model pioneered by Jack Welch and proposed new management rules—rules that align with what Professor Malik has consistently advocated. It can be said that both the U.S. and the global community are beginning to learn management from the top master, Professor Malik.
