Professional introduction
Management science is an undergraduate major in colleges and universities, belonging to management science and engineering. The basic study period is five years/four years, and the bachelor degree in management or science is awarded.
Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of basic management disciplines such as mathematics, computer, economics, statistics, operational research, production and operation management, marketing, accounting, finance, international finance and trade, and have the ability of quantitative analysis, decision-making, management communication and organization and implementation, as well as the ability of computer application, so as to cultivate and apply advanced management ideas, methods, organizations and technologies and mathematical and computer models to solve problems in management, organization and technology management.
Subject characteristics
Try to reduce the personal artistic component of decision-making. By establishing a set of decision-making procedures and mathematical models to increase the scientific nature of decision-making. They quantify various variables or factors in various schemes, establish a quantitative model with mathematical tools, study the relationship between variables and factors, and seek an optimal answer expressed in quantity. The process of decision-making is the process of establishing and applying mathematical models.
Evaluate all feasible schemes according to the economic effect. Such as cost, total income, investment profit rate, etc.
Electronic computers are widely used. In modern enterprise management, the factors that affect the transaction are complex. After the model is established, the calculation task is extremely heavy, and it often takes several years to get the results by traditional calculation methods, which makes the calculation results unable to be used in enterprise management. The appearance of electronic computer greatly improves the operation speed and makes it possible to apply mathematical models to enterprises and organizations.
Formation and development
Management is a way of existence of human society. With people, there will be management problems. Management thought comes from management practice and is a summary of management experience. We divide the history of management thought before the emergence of system management theory into two main stages, and18th century is the dividing line between these two stages. The management thought before the appearance of classical management theory is very simple and intuitive. Although the management thoughts in military management, state management and church management have been extremely rich, these thoughts mainly stay in the stage of experience description or analogy thinking, and have not formed a systematic theoretical form. 18th century to19th century is the embryonic stage of modern management theory.
core curriculum
Management, operations research, economics, systems engineering, information management and information systems. The main related courses are management science, economics, operations research, systems engineering, computer foundation, marketing, accounting, corporate finance, production and operation management, management information system, modern logistics and supply chain management, human factor engineering, quality management, engineering economics, new product development and design, e-commerce, project management, human resource management, organizational behavior, experimental management and information system development practice.
Training objectives
This major trains compound talents with high management quality, solid and systematic management theory foundation, reasonable management science and information technology knowledge structure, and can apply qualitative and quantitative systematic analysis methods to solve management decision-making and technical management-related problems, so as to meet the needs of macro decision-making, strategic planning, enterprise diagnosis and management research of countries, enterprises and institutions.
Training requirements
Students in this major mainly study the basic knowledge of mathematics, economics, computer foundation, management information system, financial accounting, marketing and other professional knowledge, as well as operational research, statistics, logistics and operation management, and have the ability to analyze and solve related management decision-making problems.
Curriculum system
Overall framework
The curriculum system of management science specialty is divided into two aspects: theoretical teaching course and practical teaching course.
Theoretical teaching courses include general courses, basic courses and professional courses; Practical teaching courses include course experiment, course design, social practice, practical training, graduation thesis (design) and comprehensive practical training. The accumulated credits of practical, innovative and entrepreneurial teaching courses shall not be less than 20% of the total credits.
