First-level Discipline Code and Name: 1201 Management Science and Engineering

鈪� Profile, Advantages and Characteristics of Disciplines

Management Science and Engineering, a first-level discipline of management category focusing research fields on figuring out rules in social organization management activities and their application, is comprehensive and trans-disciplinary and relates its disciplines to Natural Science, Engineering and Social Science. The developing trend of Management Science and Engineering discipline is to study basic theories and rules, calculation methods and managing skills in terms of systematic science, decision-making in management of more complexity in economic and commercial society. Theories of Management Science and Engineering are, studied from the perspective of recognition of philosophy and mathematics, mainly about the universality, internal relation and evolving impetus of management science. Methods and techniques of Management Science and Engineering are integrating information technology and optimizing methods, research of organization operation, resources allocation and the evaluation on efficiency and effectiveness, decision, choosing and optimizing of systems and modes to make them suitable for inner and outer environment. Research approaches primarily includes methods of modern scientific research, technical means and experimental environment, aiming at solving issues from more complex decision-making which is developing with a faster speed and from management world, illustrating the objective rules in development and evolution of society and economy.

To achieve management goals, Management Science and Engineering designs, appraises, decides, optimizes, implements and regulates varied management issues by referring to knowledge of applied engineering techniques, mathematics and humanities and social science. Management Science and Engineering of CSU, getting a grip on the forefront of the disciplinary research and on the demands of national economic development, has already established a number of technology of different features which includes management information system, decision support system, decision-making theory and technology, enterprise financing and capital operation, supply chain management, emergency management theories and methods, technology and innovation management, e-commerce technology, project management. A large number of national or provincial prizes of scientific researches, upon the outcomes of these researching fields, have been awarded while a serial of significant national and provincial and academy-enterprise-cooperating projects, about Management Science and Engineering discipline, were successfully conducted.

Management Science and Engineering department, comprised of academicians and pioneering youth scholars, gets its overall researching levels ranking the top parts across the country; and with plenty researching programs and adequate funds, some theories on management science are so intensive that part of outcomes from them are qualified for certain advanced international requirements. Pragmatic applications are highlighted and combinations with relevant industries are pretty close, causing the leading advantages in China especially among researches on management theories and practice of non-ferrous industry. Accumulated experiences after many years works on educations of Ph.D. students of management science and engineering guarantee the qualities of our doctoral students.
