Key Summary

    About: The Master in Strategic Management equips students with essential skills in strategic analysis, decision-making, and leadership. This program focuses on developing a deep understanding of business strategy in a competitive environment. Through a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical case studies, you will learn to assess strategic challenges and formulate effective responses.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various roles, including strategic analyst, operations manager, or business consultant. Opportunities exist in sectors such as finance, technology, and consulting firms, where strategic insight is key to success.

Subject groups, as the first dimension of the GSB matrix, are composed of four subjects: Management, Accounting, Finance and Distribution, and Industry and Region. Every subject provides both basic and advanced knowledge of the area. Students can choose anyone as their major or minor. In the second dimension of the GSB matrix, there are five research units: Strategic Management, Management Information, International Business, Industry Creation, and Public and Environmental Management. Every research unit is designed for the purpose of specialized and focused research. Students can make a variety of choices by selecting different subjects and units.

In addition, graduate students are supposed to take research methodological classes: Qualitative Methodology, Quantitative Methodology, and Systems Methodology. We also provide an MBA course called "Graduate Research Project for Business Experts and Executives". For this research project, we set different research themes and assign two faculty staff every year. Each theme continues for two years and usually is conducted by ten students.
