The rapid globalisation of business will affect companies and organisations of all sizes. The new generation of managers must possess analytical skills to handle complex problems related to forecasting, planning and management. It is to this demand of modern quantitative analysis as applied to business and management that the Department is responding to in its teaching and in its emphasis on strategic research in collaboration with industry and commerce. Graduates in management sciences, with a broad-based business education, are particularly equipped with such skills. Furthermore, they are better prepared to learn the professional skills necessary to take up new challenges in the years to come.
The Department of Management Sciences is one of the largest and strongest departments in this discipline in the Asia-Pacific region. The teaching staff of the Department value the Department’s tradition of caring its students. Not only does it educate its students to be competent professionals with good work ethics, but it also educates them to be proficient communicators, to be responsible citizens, and to be life-long learners. Graduates are expected to find employment in business, and in non-profit and government organisations.
