Our university positions itself as a "research-oriented university in vocational education and a university with industry-academia collaboration in general education." In order to implement the six major strategies of our university's development, the College of Management has set its development goals as follows: cultivating management talents with a focus on "professionalism," "innovation," "internationalization," and "holistic development." Building upon the advantages of the College of Management and staying abreast of international development trends, we foster a culture of innovative thinking and integration of theory and practice. We shape our distinctive characteristics as a college that emphasizes "entering the workforce before graduation" and "going where the industry goes." Guided by the educational philosophy of "win-win for academia and industry, and triple-win for dual tracks," we combine industry resources with teaching and research, creative thinking, and innovation in the fields of finance, corporate management, insurance and finance, accounting, leisure and hospitality management, marketing and distribution, and silver industry management. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and integration, we aim to cultivate management talents that meet the industry's demands for professionalism, innovation, internationalization, and holistic development. Based on these development strategies, we have formulated six talent cultivation strategies, including deepening local roots while expanding internationally, entering the workforce before graduation, promoting collaboration and co-creation among academia, research, and industry, fostering cross-domain learning and international mobility, facilitating seamless transition from graduation to employment, and providing continuous professional development opportunities. We have implemented various action plans accordingly.

Furthermore, considering the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and the issue of population aging in recent years, the demand for talent in the e-commerce market and silver industry has increased significantly. The College of Management has taken a further step to develop a forward-looking layout of "confronting artificial intelligence and embracing the platinum generation." Our department focuses on cultivating talents in "digital management" to respond to the university's development goals and the forward-looking layout of the College of Management. Accordingly, our department has set the educational objective of nurturing "enterprise management talents with high-quality work attitude, a grasp of the pulse of the times, problem-solving abilities in management, and innovation and entrepreneurship skills."

Inheriting the mission of "Wherever the enterprise goes, the CYUT goes," our department collaborates closely with small and medium-sized enterprises in the central region through industry-academia programs, collaborative teaching with industry professionals, and internships to create win-win opportunities. Through activities such as company lectures, company visits, certification programs, graduation projects, competitions, practical training, and career development programs, we aim to cultivate a combination of diverse learning and practical skills in our students, preparing them for future employment in key job roles such as business planning, functional processes, and marketing management. In recent years, we have placed special emphasis on nurturing talents in cross-border e-commerce and digital marketing.

Furthermore, we adhere to the philosophy of "Recharging in CYUT for Sustained Success," providing excellent continuing education opportunities for supervisors at all levels in the industry, creating shared value. The following are three points of explanation:
