What is the Mission of the Course?

 

This is an elective course offered to NSD double major students and it will be conducted entirely in English. As an elective with a special mission, this course is not intended to be a general or “soft” course where you could coaster and take easy credits. Instead, it is a VERY RIGOROUS course designed to attract, select, and train those students with great academic credentials as well as strong interests in pursuing careers related to scholarly research in Business Administration, broadly defined, in general, and in Management in particular.

 

This is NOT an Economics class.

This IS a Management class.

Students who intend to pursue a doctoral degree in Management or Business Administration in the US upon graduation from his/her undergraduate program.

 

Students who intend to enter NSD doctoral program in Management via NSD summer camp (direct recommendation) or through national graduate programs entrance examinations.

 

Students who intend to enter other graduate programs in Management or Business Administration in China that focus on scholarly research.
