The legacy of the Founding Father of the Republic of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, is an inspiration for the College of Management. The College strives endlessly to shape education according to Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s philosophical ideals of independence, human rights, and just society. The College has built up a rich heritage of top-quality education and is considered one of the best business schools in Taiwan. Coinciding with Taiwan’s national policy regarding economic growth as well as industrial transformation and modernization, the College regards it as the common goal of its departments, graduate institutes, and programs to serve as a leading centre for cultivating business management professionals who fuel national economic growth and development. The College is a public business school under the governance of NSYSU. It was founded in 1984 and soon became the premier business college in southern Taiwan. Its charter focuses on three guiding principles. First, develop business management professionals with the highest academic, ethical, and social responsibility standards. Second, establish a centre of excellence for business management research with a global perspective and community engagement. Third, advance national business strategies and policies centred on industry-academy collaboration and education to inspire innovation and development both locally and globally. Today, the College is a leading research school in Taiwan with robust social responsibility activities.

      The College of Management is an AACSB accredited research-oriented institution, the first in Taiwan to receive such an accreditation. It attracts many outstanding scholars, overseas and domestic alike, to work in the College's research and teaching environment.
