At the beginning of the meeting, Vice President Liu Renhan emphasized that Zhongnan University pf Economics and Law (ZUEL) strongly supports SBA in obtaining international accreditations. SBA should not only strive to obtain AACSB as soon as possible, but also strengthen its advantages and highlight its characteristics during the preparation process, showing excellent demeanor on the international stage.
Dean Wu Haitao gave a detailed account of SBA's profile and fondly recalled the ten-year deep friendship between the original MBA School, SBA, and Professor Lee due to accreditation.
Next, Appointment Ceremony for Visiting Professor was held. Vice President Liu Renhan presented the letter of appointment to Professor Lee on behalf of ZUEL.
After that, AACSB Accreditation Dialogue Meeting took place. With over twenty years of AACSB experience and unique insight, Professor Lee explained the core spirit, three core concepts, and the latest standards and guidelines of AACSB through vivid stories and practical cases.
Following that was a free exchange session, during which the attendees discussed with Professor Lee how SBA can demonstrate comprehensive strategic planning, enhance social influence, and strengthen basic construction.
The long application cycle and the difficulty of application make AACSB one of the most influential accreditations in the field of global business comprehensive education. We will take this meeting as an opportunity to further enhance our international competitiveness and internationalization.
