Nearly two hundred dedicated faculty and staff members work together, each fulfilling their roles, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the college. We are proud to be one of Taiwan’s few management colleges with a rich history and a forward-looking vision that keeps pace with global trends in business research. Our academic culture blends historical heritage with modern management wisdom, earning recognition and respect from the business community.

Facing the challenges and uncertainties brought by the rapidly changing AI era, the College of Management at NCKU has established its mission: “Upholding a pragmatic academic spirit and tradition, we strive in a globalized economy to cultivate students into business leaders with professional competence and social responsibility through rigorous inquiry, integrated innovation, and a vision toward excellence. Furthermore, we aim to expand knowledge in the field of management.” This mission is the core goal we unanimously uphold.My administrative philosophy is summed up as: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” Our college has a unique structure, different from traditional business schools, and this diversity is our strength in navigating a complex, ever-shifting world. It gives us fresh perspectives and flexibility to blend ideas from various fields, leading to forward-thinking and competitive academic and practical achievements.We not only adapt to change but also seize opportunities to innovate across disciplines and lead transformative progress, building a truly distinctive and impactful college. NCKU’s College of Management will incorporate more data and information for precise decision-making, identifying issues and enhancing overall governance efficiency. The overall operations are planned around “Five Core Development Dimensions” and “Three Governance Strategies” as the main action axes as follows:

Three Governance Strategies

In the context of rapid environmental changes, supporting young faculty and nurturing the next generation of leadership and management talent are key to the sustainable academic development of the college. We plan to implement the following three governance strategies, hoping to build a supportive and prosperous academic community through practical measures:

1. Building Consensus and Fostering Teamwork

   Guided by five core development dimensions, the college will leverage regular meetings and structured communication channels to enhance cooperation across departments and foster strategic consensus with global partners, maximizing team synergy and creating results “greater than the sum of their parts.”

2. Passing On Wisdom, Achieving Mutual Success

   Promote the sharing of experience by senior faculty and establish institutionalized mentoring mechanisms to help young faculty develop steadily in teaching and research, overcoming obstacles, advancing in rank, and planning their careers—thereby fostering smooth generational succession and long-term sustainability.

3. Sharing Resources, Energizing Spaces

   Breaking spatial limitations, we aim to optimize the utilization efficiency of teaching and research facilities, with particular support for large classes and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through better integration of our internal resources and active pursuit of new space opportunities beyond the college, we ensure that every resource achieves its fullest potential.

Key Strategies and Vision

At the College of Management, NCKU, we are a vibrant community—diverse in talent, rich in expertise, and united by a shared purpose. In a university renowned for technological excellence, we are poised to become a central hub for cross-disciplinary collaboration and system integration.

By strategically integrating our human, financial, spatial, and digital resources, we will lay a solid foundation for sustainable development.Together, we will build a warm, collaborative environment, achieve shared success, and create greater value for our students, faculty, and society.
