This article examines several issues related to the relationship between higher education institutions and multinational corporations in countries such as Hungary that are undergoing historic economic and political shifts and to discuss implications from the findings for China. The findings suggest that, although Hungary and China differ culturally and in the shift in their political and economic changes, China can benefit from the lessons learned in Hungary.
