Since its establishment in 1991, the Fudan MBA program has always adhered to the spirit of professionalism, actively adapted to the needs of the development of the times, and constantly innovated itself, continuously leading the progress and development of China's MBA education, and contributing to the construction of an innovative country. "No science and technology, no future", with the in-depth promotion of the "science and technology innovation strategy" of Fudan Management Institute, in 2022, the training system of Fudan MBA program will be comprehensively upgraded to respond to the challenges of the times and lead the curriculum reform. In August 2023, the Fudan MBA "Juchuang" leadership development program was released, aiming to gather resources and cultivate students' global leadership in the era of science and technology innovation.
On the basis of continuous iterative innovation, Fudan MBA has launched the 'Juchuang' leadership development program, which is to help students shape their ability to act, innovate and become global leaders in the process of learning and Xi, and forge their own core strength in the torrent of the times. At the same time, the most valuable content of Fudan MBA education will be precipitated and passed on from generation to generation. Zheng Ming, Vice Dean of the School of Management of Fudan University, fully recognized and looked forward to the value of the "Juchuang" leadership development program.
Now, halfway through the new semester, the series of "Juchuang" leadership development projects are being fully implemented one after another, and are gradually getting better. What are the new requirements for personal leadership in the era of science and technology? What are the features and advantages of the "Juchuang" leadership development program? What exciting second class activities are there to look forward to? Let's focus on this "Juchuang" leadership journey full of growth power.
Embracing the future of science and technology, the "Juchuang" leadership development project was officially launched
Science and technology innovation is not only the evolution tone of this era, but also will become the main theme of the country's future social and economic development. In order to participate in the increasingly fierce global competition, Chinese business managers urgently need to Xi learn and apply the latest management knowledge and tools. However, science and technology enterprises often have the unique characteristics of long R&D cycle, high upfront investment, fast technology iteration, and the coexistence of high risk and high return, which also invisibly puts forward new connotations and challenges for the professional ability and innovation leadership of enterprise managers.
In view of this, Fudan MBA has launched the "Juchuang" leadership development program, with the goal of gathering resources and cultivating global leadership in the era of science and technology, and is committed to creating "one focus", "one main line" and "one ecosystem", and focusing on cultivating "young elites and future leaders" in the era of science and technology innovation through future-oriented and comprehensive empowerment.
The so-called "one focus" refers to the focus on "juchuang" leadership. At the press conference of the "Julichuang" leadership development program, Feng Tianjun, director of the MBA program of Fudan University and professor of the Department of Management Science of the School of Management of Fudan University, emphasized that "the Fudan MBA leadership development program is committed to improving students' leadership in the five dimensions of self-motivation, cohesion, decision-making, scientific and technological innovation, and ecology, and professionalism is the foundation of everything. "Possessing cutting-edge management knowledge, solid professional quality, and continuous professional improvement are the foundation of excellent leaders, and they are also the most praised and highly affirmed by employers for Fudan MBA students in the past two or three decades.
"One main line" refers to the "Juchuang" leadership development program that will run through the learning and Xi of Fudan MBA. Starting from the two aspects of "curriculum system" and "extracurricular platform", students can establish a leadership awareness from the beginning of enrollment and systematically learn Xi leadership management theory; At the same time, in the process of learning and Xi, the current status of their own leadership development is tracked through scientific evaluation, and the learning Xi and training are carried out in a targeted manner. By the time they graduate, they will have a clear understanding of their leadership characteristics and progress, and apply them to their future career development and life.
"One ecosystem" means that the program will also fully mobilize the superior resources of various departments of the college, MBA program teams, MBA students, alumni, entrepreneurs, industry experts, external partners, etc., to cultivate future leaders with scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurial spirit in an all-round way, and provide long-term and continuous ecological support for Fudan MBA students.
In more than two years of MBA Xi time, the core of "Juchuang" leadership will fully penetrate into all aspects, accompanying and witnessing the transformation and growth of every student along the way. Students not only need to complete the compulsory courses of organizational behavior and leadership, leadership assessment, leadership personal development plan, personal leadership development summary report and other compulsory courses in the curriculum system, but also have the opportunity to elect the leadership forum, science and technology innovation pioneer forum, leadership practice series class, leadership class workshop, leadership practice platform and a variety of colorful student activities.
The "Juchuang" leadership development program records the wonderful leadership development journey of students during the two-and-a-half-year Xi in the form of a point system, and those who achieve a total score of more than 80 points and meet the corresponding academic requirements will receive the "Juchuang" leadership development program certificate certified by Fudan MBA.
Recognize yourself in an all-round way, and calmly embark on the leadership journey of "Juchuang".
According to the design and planning of the leadership assessment of the "Juchuang" leadership development program, students will complete three leadership assessments before enrollment, at the end of the first year, and at the end of the second year, so as to accurately grasp their leadership development trends and make corresponding Xi adjustments in time.
In August, the first leadership assessment was successfully completed; In September, Fudan MBA's "Jujin 2023" orientation, which is equipped with the new leadership core of Juchuang, was officially launched. More than 800 freshmen from 10 Chinese classes and 2 international classes of the Class of 2023 deeply focused on the theme of "Science and Technology Innovation Changes the World", immersed themselves in a variety of original business practice simulation activities, and deeply interpreted the first leadership assessment report under the leadership of Professor Li Xuhong, head of the Department of Business Management of Fudan University School of Management, and calmly started the leadership development journey.
At the report interpretation meeting, Professor Li Xuhong said that under the great changes unseen in a century, the global political and economic environment is facing huge uncertainties, coupled with the fierce competition in the field of scientific and technological innovation among countries, the value of leadership is unprecedentedly highlighted. "Only by being technology-based and leader-driven can we truly make enterprises move through the fog and achieve steady and far-reaching results. As an important collective wisdom crystallization of the school, the Fudan MBA "Juchuang" leadership model actively responds to the development demands of the times, and has a solid theoretical foundation, distinctive characteristics of the times and profound Fudan genes.
In terms of "theoretical cornerstones", Fudan MBA's "Juchuang" leadership model draws on the strengths of others, and deeply integrates classic leadership model paradigms such as the HAY leadership competency model and the DDI leadership five forces model. In terms of "characteristics of the times", Fudan MBA's "Juchuang" leadership model focuses on the higher requirements for the leadership of enterprise managers in the digital era and the era of science and technology, fully gathers internal and external resources, and forges future-oriented global leadership in an all-round way. In addition, in the unique dimension of "Fudan Gene", the Fudan MBA "Juchuang" leadership model also further integrates the latest cutting-edge achievements related to the school's "Science and Technology Innovation Strategy" and the profound cultural accumulation of Fudan over the past century, helping students to dare to always uphold a lofty sense of mission and belief in life on the long and difficult road of science and technology, and make due contributions to the development of the country and even the progress of human society.
Manage uncertainty with decision-making, unite superiors and subordinates with cohesion, maintain a growth mindset with self-drive, drive transformation and upgrading with scientific and technological innovation, and achieve altruism and win-win results with ecological power. At the same time, it is also necessary to have solid professionalism throughout. Professor Li Xuhong reminded everyone that the core core of the "Juchuang" leadership model is "5+1", while forging the five leadership of self-drive, cohesion, decision-making, science and technology, and ecology in an all-round way, we should not forget to continuously temper professionalism through the curriculum system, which will become the key fulcrum from excellence to excellence.
In the coming days, students will further participate in the rich and colorful curriculum Xi and extracurricular practice of Fudan MBA based on their own assessment results, and gradually realize the expansion and sublimation of global leadership through targeted learning and complementing each other's weaknesses, so as to truly grow into business and social leaders who can change the world and benefit mankind.
The unity of knowledge and action creates a better future, and the new extracurricular development system has been significantly upgraded
In order to help everyone better achieve the goals set by the "Juchuang" leadership development program and comprehensively promote the leadership improvement of MBA students, the "Juchuang" leadership development program specially integrates the three major platforms of the extracurricular development system: the practice platform, the student activity platform and the class activity platform, and continues to launch a wealth of learning and Xi practice activities, aiming to deeply focus on the five leadership dimensions of self-motivation, cohesion, decision-making, scientific and technological innovation, and ecological power, fully gather internal and external resources, and help students in the real business environment, In the face-to-face collision and exchange, the integration of cutting-edge theories and global leadership is realized.
The practice platform includes the iLab Business Consulting Project, the iLab Business Challenge, the Science and Technology Innovation Youth Cadre Camp, and the Yangtze River Delta Science and Technology Innovation Competition, which are an important part of the Fudan MBA all-round value learning Xi system, among which the iLab Business Consulting Project has ushered in a new upgrade this year. With the continuous and substantial increase of science and technology innovation elements, not only will more science and technology innovation projects be available for application in the future, but also all students of the second phase of the science and technology innovation youth cadre camp will also participate in it. For the 2023 international MBA freshmen, participating in the iLab Consulting Bootcamp will also lay a solid foundation for them to participate in the iLab Consulting Program in the spring semester.
The class platform mainly includes Class Creation, Class Leadership Workshop, and Elective Community. The class platform is a microcosm of the grade, and the class-based activities are conducive to realizing the organic connection between the "curriculum system" and the "extracurricular platform", enhancing collective cohesion, and helping everyone refresh their self-awareness and build a leadership improvement plan from different perspectives. In the near future, more than 800 new students will complete the leadership personal development plan according to their own assessment and have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the personal leadership improvement space.
The student activity platform mainly includes the Leadership Forum, the Science and Technology Innovation Pioneer Forum, and the Leadership Practice Series Courses, which aim to expand horizons, enlighten ideas, and continuously deepen the concept and cognition of leadership through various cutting-edge courses and activities, and exercise and cultivate students' leadership in practice through the operation and management of student organizations such as the Jujin Federation and clubs, so as to achieve the growth of the unity of knowledge and action.
