fudan university school of management
Fudan, literally meaning “heavenly light shines day after day”, is derived from
Shangshu Dazhuan, the hermeneutic version of the earliest historical book in
China. The name signifies Fudan University’s perpetual pursuit of excellence
since the moment of its foundation. Education, as a promising and sustainable
cause, requires our unremitting endeavor year after year before any glorious
goal can be achieved. For more than one hundred years, generations of Fudan
people have kept such a belief, and commitment, which led to the university’s
brilliance and glory, and cast upon the university’s brand its spiritual core
and cultural basis. "Dedication to Learning, Passion for Accomplishment; Growth
with Great Virtues, Readiness to Help Others" Since its reestablishment in 1985,
School of Management at Fudan University (FDSM) has grown along with the
historic process of reform and opening-up in China. Driven by our School’s noble
mission of "setting roots in China in its progress, dedicating itself to
innovative research, and cultivating academic specialists, business elites and
social leaders with global perspectives and local insights", all the faculty and
staff at FDSM have spared no effort to not only enhance our teaching and
research competences in an all-round manner but also cultivate large numbers of
outstanding management talent for China’s prosperous economic development in the
future. The great contributions made by generations of faculty and staff have
been the driving force for the School’s consistent advancement, impressive
breakthroughs and eventually have forged an unfolding path of exploration and
development to the management education, which benefits both China and the
world. In the past 30 years, significant improvement has been made in its
disciplinary structure as well as teaching and research standard. The School
obtained international top-level accreditations at an unprecedentedly fast pace
around the world and many of its degree programs also made remarkable
achievements in different authoritative international rankings. These honors are
recognition of our School’s long-term dedication to academic research, talent
cultivation and social services. They are also milestones along our journey
toward becoming a world-class business school and toward a brighter future. We
are deeply aware that the realization of our goal of becoming a world-class
business school shall never be based on short-sighted, hasty or impulsive steps.
With the goal on our mind and responsibilities on our shoulders, we will
continue our tireless dedication to providing high-quality business management
education, cultivating outstanding talent, and contributing cutting-edge
management concepts for China’s economic development. We firmly believe that,
with China’s rise as the wind beneath our wings, our School will soar and
advance among the leading business schools around the globe. Let’s work together
hand in hand and look forward to the future!
