College of Management (COM) was founded in 1970 and has undergone over 50 years of transformation and growth. It has developed into a research-oriented institution with 4 departments, 3 independent institutes, 2 master degree programs (EMBA, GMBA), 1 part-time master program (with 7 groups of disciplines), and 6 research centers. COM has 2,422 students and 79 full-time faculty members, covering a diverse range of fields, including management science, transportation and logistics, industrial engineering and management, technology management, information management, and finance. Most of the faculty and students have backgrounds in both social science and engineering. The composition of COM is quite different from traditional business schools and has been criticized in the past by external evaluators with business backgrounds. However, at a time when AACSB and management schools both domestically and internationally are struggling to grasp the wave of AI, our college happens to have many top talents in AI research who can develop intelligent transportation, smart manufacturing, business intelligence, and smart healthcare. The composition makes our college having distinctive competitive advantage.
The vision of our college is: “To convert technology innovation into sustainable businesses and enable the last mile from technology advancement to social welfare”, which emphasizes transforming technological innovation into sustainable business operations. The transforming process, from incubating startup companies to innovating business models and integrating industrial supply chains, is at the heart of our teaching and research activities. More importantly, we view technological progress as a means of enhancing social welfare, highlighting the combination of technology and the humanities. While pursuing technological innovation, we also emphasize the application of technology to improve human welfare, reduce social inequality, and address sustainability issues. Therefore, our college’s vision encompasses multiple goals, including academic research, education and training, and social contributions. To realize this vision, our college has outlined the following key strategies:
Although our college still faces many challenges, guided by a clear vision and strategies, and supported by the collective efforts of all faculty, staff, and students, we are confident in elevating our college to new heights, becoming a model for the fusion of technology and social welfare.
