In today's China, the economy is transforming remarkably at an unprecedented pace, driven by technological innovation and globalization. While opportunities abound, challenges such as intensifying global competition and the need for sustainable development loom large. Business education is increasingly important for cultivating individuals who can navigate the complex business landscape, make informed decisions, and drive economic growth.

East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) is a key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education of China, and was selected as one of the universities for the national "Double First-Class" initiative in 2017. With its history dating back to 1983, ECUST School of Business now encompasses three first-level disciplines: Business Administration, Management Science and Engineering, and Applied Economics. Since its establishment, the School adheres to the strategies of internationalization and differentiation, advocating core values including "Student Centricity, Life Community and Social Responsibility".
