DEAN'S MESSAGE

Li GuangzhongDean

Tall stands my university, bright my country's star. Crafted by Zhongshan, whose legacy travels far.

The century-old Sun Yat-sen University has laid a profound foundation and spiritual heritage for the development of the School of Business. The university motto handwritten by Mr. Sun Yat-sen "Study Broadly, Enquire Solicitously, Think Critically, Discern Judiciously, and Act Prudently," has been passed down through generations, inspiring and motivating generations of the School of Business to forge ahead with dedication and strive for excellence.

Our School remains steadfast in fulfilling its fundamental mission of cultivating virtue and nurturing talent. Centered on student growth and development, and guided by the "SAGE" education framework -Scientific thinking, Artistic management, Global vision, and Ethics-based entrepreneurship -the School is committed to cultivating entrepreneurs with a scientific mindset and scholars with an entrepreneurial spirit.

The School consistently upholds the principle of advancing through scientific research and academic excellence. Closely aligned with the "Four Orientations," the School focuses on three key research areas: localized business administration research grounded in the Chinese context, corporate behavior and economic risk management in the digital era, and interdisciplinary research on healthcare and management. Through deep commitment to theoretical innovation, the School continues to produce high-level research outcomes.

The School always bears in mind "the country's most fundamental interests", proactively serving major national strategies and the development needs of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, striving to enhance its capacity to address real-world challenges faced by enterprises and optimize management practices in China; the School supports the high-quality development of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and endeavors to contribute China's theoretical frameworks, practical paradigms, and solutions to the global academic and business communities.

Looking ahead, the School will remain committed to its blueprint for development. It will continue to integrate science and management, deepen diversified collaboration, and promote industry-education integration, continuously strengthening its capacity for academic innovation, international influence, and service to the nation. The School is poised to write a new chapter in its journey toward becoming a world-class business school!
