■ Business Administration

Department of Business Administration has been 30 years since the department was formally established. The primary purpose of the department is to develop talented individuals needed by businesses and companies. Currently, it boasts an international teaching staff and a wide variety of courses to choose from. Faculties with professions received from first-class Schools of Business in various countries (USA, Japan, Britain, and Germany) provide different experiences and knowledge either in the single field (Production and Operations Management, Marketing Management, Financial Management, Information Management, Human Resource Management, and Business Strategy) or interdisciplinary researches. As a result, students have much flexibility for learning and development. Furthermore, in response to the trends of internationalization, the digitalization of business administration and corporate sustainability, the department places particular emphasis on course instruction in English and in establishing a quality learning environment for studying Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Teaching and instruction value both theory and practical application. As such, the department has hired many professors with rich experience in business. It also encourages students to participate in various certification exams as a way to lay a firm foundation for future development. At the same time, much effort is put into becoming a forerunner of academic research. Requirements of quality and relevancy in academic publications have become more stringent over the last few years. Also, interaction with the international academic community has been bolstered.

■ Industrial Economics

The Graduate Institute of Industrial Economics in National Central University was established in 1985 as the first academic institute in Taiwan adopting the title “industry economics”. The institute aims at cultivating professionals in the field of industrial economics as well as at studying firm behaviors and industrial organizations. By the time when the institute was founded, only Master’s students were admitted. The PhD program was not established until 1992 when studies in industrial economics were continuously advanced. Given the rapid changes in industrial economics and serious shortage of domestic talents in both industrial economics and law, the Law Section was set up in the Master’s program in 1999. With training approaches different from traditional ones in other domestic financial law Master’s programs, students’ abilities in both industrial economics and law are cultivated. Then in 2003, the part-time Master’s program was founded in response to the government’s lifelong learning policy. Students with years of working experiences are admitted to receive trainings in both industrial economics and law.

The Graduate Institute of Industrial Economics is an academic institute putting an equal emphasis on academic foundation and practices. Faculty members and students believe that a solid academic foundation enhances logics and judgment, fostering the flexible thinking in a practical way.

By building a solid foundation of industrial economics theories, students develop independent research and analysis ability based on their own interests.
