History And Mission
Department of Business Administration was established in 1962 under a cooperative program with University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The MBA program and Ph. D. program were started in 1965 and 1976 respectively. To accelerate the development of management expertise for those not on campus, the Department also offers extension educational programs for executives. It was the first department of its nature in Taiwan. The mission, course objectives, course design and development of faculty were carefully planned by the administration of the University and an advisory team from University of Michigan.
The mission of this department is to be a leading research and teaching institute in Asia-Pacific region. By capitalizing on the unique geographic position of Taiwan, we strive for globalization and localization of our research and teaching. Our research aims to integrate the best management knowledge of the East and the West in combination with pioneering practices of local enterprises to produce contributive works that are beneficial to the business and educational communities. We are also committed to educate the best business graduates and researchers in the region who have received solid training in both social science and business management and also have possessed broad knowledge of the business environment and practices.
