First-level Discipline Code and Name: 1201 Management Science and Engineering
I Profile, Advantages and Characteristics of Disciplines
Management Science and Engineering, a first-level discipline of management focusing on finding rules in social organization management activities and their applications, is comprehensive and trans-disciplinary and relates its disciplines to Natural Science, Engineering and Social Science. The developing trend of the management science and engineering discipline is to study basic theories and rules, calculation methods and managing skills functioning in complicated system science and management decision implicated in economic and business society. Theories of Management Science and Engineering, studied from the perspective of recognition of philosophy and mathematics, are mainly about the universality, internal connection 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 utilize modern scientific research methods, technical means and experimental environment, which aims at tackling issues of more complex and fast-pacing decision-making behavior and management field, illustrates 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 all kinds of management issues by utilizing knowledge of applied engineering techniques, mathematics and humanity and social science. Management Science and Engineering of CSU, responding demands of national economic development, gets a grip on the forefront of the disciplinary research which has already formed distinctive and steady research orientation including 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 in which this discipline has been undertaking major national, provincial and industrial practice programs producing important research outcomes which have been frequently awarded with national and provincial research prizes. This discipline, leading other Chinese universities with a high overall research standard, has been backed by academicians and young scholars. With substantial research funds and projects, an in-depth study on management science theory has been conducted producing research outcomes of international standard. This discipline also stresses the close ties between practice and industry where the study and practice of nonferrous metals management theory should be highlighted with a leading position in China. Outstanding masters have been cultivated with rich experience accumulated in many years’ teaching and researching works.
