History

Background After many years of practical training in working area, many on-the-job professionals face the challenge of knowledge innovation and cross-border thinking, and the need to reeducate themselves. However, due to time and space factors, the traditional school system cannot give appropriate management courses for people on the job, so since 2007, Chinese Culture University has been starting a “Master Program of Business Administration in Practicing” (referred to as “Enterprise Digital Master Program” or “Network Master Program”), hoping to break through this educational bottleneck and to utilize online courses and to blend instructional design. Which provide on-the-job learning for working people. The course structure is mainly based on IMPM（The International Masters Program in Practicing Management）by Professor Henry Mintzberg and revised by Professor Hong Ming-zhou. Professor Hong Ming-zhou also emphasized that “managers must learn at work” and “management education must integrate work and life experience as much as possible”, and thus we encourage students to bring the experience of the working environment to the classroom for discussion and to prove the applicability of the theory. This Program invites professors from our Business school and from other universities in Taiwan to teach, and we also invite some masters from practical industry to participate in collaborative teaching or to share a practical lecture in the class. After passing the basic qualification evaluation, special class preliminary evaluation, course certification preliminary evaluation, course certification review and special class review, etc., it has been approved since 1998 by Ministry of Education, and Professor Yang Tai-ning, the head of the Department of International Business Management, served as the first director of this class. Teaching quality is also evaluated every year. The current director, Professor Yan Min-Ren, has successively introduced the teaching resources of internationally renowned universities such as Northwestern University, MIT Sloan School of Management, Shanghai Fudan University, etc., and is in line with international standards to expand the exchange platform between teachers and students.
