### Abstract

We consider the tensorial Schur product $$R \circ ^\otimes S = [r_{ij} \otimes s_{ij}]$$ R ∘ ⊗ S = [ r i j ⊗ s i j ] for $$R \in M_n(\mathcal {A}), S\in M_n(\mathcal {B}),$$ R ∈ M n ( A ) , S ∈ M n ( B ) , with $$\mathcal {A}, \mathcal {B}~\text{ unital }~ C^*$$ A , B unital C ∗ -algebras, verify that such a ‘tensorial Schur product’ of positive operators is again positive, and then use this fact to prove (an apparently marginally more general version of) the classical result of Choi that a linear map $$\phi :M_n \rightarrow M_d$$ ϕ : M n → M d is completely positive if and only if $$[\phi (E_{ij})] \in M_n(M_d)^+$$ [ ϕ ( E i j ) ] ∈ M n ( M d ) + , where of course $$\{E_{ij}:1 \le i,j \le n\}$$ { E i j : 1 ≤ i , j ≤ n } denotes the usual system of matrix units in $$M_n (:= M_n(\mathbb C))$$ M n ( : = M n ( C ) ) . We also discuss some other corollaries of the main result.
