Dean Li Bin delivered a mobilization speech at the meeting, expounding on the strategic significance of AACSB accreditation for the school’s development. He pointed out that AACSB accreditation is not only a comprehensive assessment of the school’s educational quality and management standardization, but also a crucial opportunity for the school to integrate into the global business school ecosystem and elevate the level of its international exchange and cooperation. Dean Li Bin emphasized that all departments and centers must attach great importance to the accreditation and closely cooperate in the preparation work.
Subsequently, Xu Guodong, Head of AACSB East Asia, gave a thematic interpretation of the AACSB accreditation system. Starting from the development pattern of global business education, he systematically introduced the core positioning of AACSB accreditation, sorted out the overall progress of AACSB accreditation among domestic universities in detail, and conducted an in-depth interpretation of the core evaluation criteria and full-process milestones of the accreditation, providing clear guidance on the path for the school’s preparation work.
During the exchange and discussion session, participants conducted in-depth discussions on the key and difficult points of the accreditation work. Combining the actual work of their respective departments and centers, they actively deliberated on the accreditation content.
At the end of the meeting, the school leaders summarized the mobilization meeting. Li Bin stressed that AACSB accreditation is a systematic project and put forward clear requirements for the follow-up work. In the future, the School of Economics and Management will take AACSB accreditation as an opportunity to continuously deepen the reform of education and teaching, and constantly improve the level of internationalized school running.
