China has entered the era of digital economy, and it is imperative to iterate on traditional business research and education in colleges and universities. On December 4, Li Gang, dean of the School of Management and Economics of North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, said in an interview with Dahe Bao Dahe Caifang that the mission of colleges and universities has always been closely linked to the destiny of the country, and the research and education of business schools should be a powerful engine for economic and social development. At present, the teaching and research direction of mainstream economics colleges in China is accelerating its transformation, breaking the boundaries of knowledge and integrating diversified elements, which has become the basic momentum for the upgrading of business education.
In the past 10 years, the development of global digital technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking the boundaries of countless traditional industries. At the same time, it has also created a variety of new tools such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, overturning the barriers of existing knowledge systems and digitally reshaping all aspects of social economy.
The powerful shockwave of technological innovation also has a profound impact on the business school system in the education sector and brings unprecedented challenges.
Li Gang said that the emergence of global "new business" has brought about a historic revolution in the business talent market, and thus extended its influence along the human resources supply chain. In the context of the times and technological changes, traditional business education has exposed many problems such as its professional limitations. Therefore, breaking the boundaries of knowledge and integrating diversified elements has become the basic momentum for the upgrading of business education.
To cultivate "new" talents that are compatible with the digital age, it is necessary to solve the direction and content changes of domestic business education.
In 2017, business education became a "wind". Since then, first-tier universities at home and abroad, including Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, China University of Petroleum (Beijing), Communication University of China, Minzu University of China, Fudan University, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, London Business School, university of Houston, etc., have raised the banner of "new business". In 2019, Baidu held the "New Business" forum, and Li Gang became the first special expert of "For the New Business Alliance and Artificial Intelligence Business Research Institute".
Compared with the domestic first-line university Business Academy, what are the advantages of the School of Management and Economics of North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power?
"The new business department is a new starting point for all schools, which provides Huashui with a great opportunity to overtake in curves." Li Gang said that the cultivation of new business talents needs to grasp 5 key words: new connotation, new technology, new curriculum, new profession and new talent. As a business educator in the new era, we must strengthen the mission drive, break the boundaries of education, integrate educational resources, and create an education ecology.
