History

edit

In the early days of Nankai University's establishment in 1919, the university embraced the philosophy of "Arts for governing the country, Science for strengthening the country, and Business for enriching the country," setting up four disciplines: Arts, Science, Business, and Mining. To meet the needs of economic and social development at the time, Nankai's business discipline rapidly developed and gained significant influence both domestically and internationally, leading to the establishment of the Nankai University Business School in 1929.[1]

In 1932, the board members of Nankai University Business School included Zhang Jinyuan, Zhou Xinmin, Bian Chucheng, Ma Yinchu, Li Zucai, and Bian Shousun.[1]

In 1952, due to the nationwide reorganization of universities and colleges, Nankai's economics and management disciplines were transferred to form Hebei Institute of Finance and Economics (now Tianjin University of Finance and Economics).[1][2]

After China implemented its reform and opening-up policy in 1980, Nankai University began to rebuild its management department. In 1981, entrusted and funded by the China National Tourism Administration, Nankai University established the Department of Tourism. In 1985, at the request of the National Audit Office of the People's Republic of China, Nankai University established the country's first auditing program and began enrolling students. In 1987, Nankai University re-established its Department of Accounting. After 1993, disciplines such as Marketing, Financial Management, and Information Management were successively established at Nankai University. In 1994, the Tianjin Institute of Foreign Trade, which was directly under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, merged into Nankai University, contributing to the formation of the Nankai University Business School.[3]

In 2017, the EMBA Center of Nankai University Business School was investigated due to various violations, including unauthorized collaboration with third parties resulting in benefit transfers, lax verification of pre-admission qualifications, serious breaches of admission policies, chaotic teaching management, poor oversight in degree awarding, efforts to conceal serious exposed issues leading to escalating conflicts, lax financial management, irregular tuition collection, arbitrary tuition waivers, and illegal use of educational funds. As a result, the supervising vice president Tong Jiadong, Business School dean Zhang Yuli, and EMBA Center director Lv Feng were either dismissed or reassigned. The Ministry of Education revoked Nankai University's right to enroll EMBA students.[4]
