The
School of Business and Management (SB&M) comprises six departments:
Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information and Systems Management, Management
of Organizations, and Marketing. When fully established, the School will
enroll almost 40% of the University's undergraduate students and approximately
30% of its postgraduate students. All departments offer undergraduate
as well as postgraduate programs through to the doctorate.
Building on a strong broad-based foundation, undergraduate
students choose a program in which particular skills are acquired. Thus,
graduates are able to enter a specialized job market while retaining sufficient
flexibility and adaptability for future career growth. Most postgraduates
are enrolled, either full- or part-time, for the Master of Business Administration
(MBA) degree, and research students study for the Doctor of Philosophy
(PhD) degree.
Strong emphasis is placed on scientific and analytical
methods as the fundamental pedagogical approach, supplemented by the use
of case studies appropriate to Hong Kong and its neighboring region. The
School takes full advantage of the University's state-of-the-art technological
capabilities in its instruction and research.
The School is the only business school in Asia
to be awarded dual accreditation by the US-based Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Foundation for
Management Development. Its full-time MBA program was the only Asian program
ranked by the Financial Times earlier in 2001 as among the world's top
50. The School organizes the largest international student exchange program
in Asia with participating partners from a total of 60 major business
schools in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.

International
Co-operation
The School of Business and Management is very international in
all its teaching, research, and service functions, and is recognized
as a leading business school in Asia. A close partnership was established
between the School and the Anderson Graduate School of Management
of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) during the inception
stage of the School. Senior academic administrators and staff from
UCLA were seconded to the School to advise on curricula matters,
offer joint executive education programs, recruit, teach and conduct
research. In return, the School provides a homebase for UCLA in
the Asia-Pacific region.
In 1998, the School established a joint Executive Master of Business
Administration Program with the Kellogg Graduate School of Management,
Northwestern University. Each year, some 40 senior executives working
in different locations of Asia are attracted to join the program.

The School helps industries in Hong Kong
and its neighboring regions to stay on the forefront of business
development and practices through open-enrolled and customized non-degree
executive programs. These programs combine theoretical framework
with practical insights. They focus on learning with immediate relevance
to business executives and companies.
A series of short programs on various topics
are offered throughout the year for open enrollment. These non-degree
executive programs typically span from one to a few days and are
targeted to help working executives to gain knowledge within a short
period of time. These programs include topics on such themes as
e-Business, China Business and Management, Finance for Non-Financial
Managers and other management topics.
In response to the growing demands of companies
and organizations for customized programs, the School develops from
existing programs and designs new customized programs to tailor
for company needs. Many of these tailored programs are in the form
of short one to five-day non-residential program and others are
in the form of one to two-week residential programs on HKUST campus.
Programs have been developed for a number of public organizations,
Chinese enterprises and multinational corporations in Hong Kong
and also from China mainland and overseas countries.
On top of these programs, the School offers
a one-year part-time Executive Diploma in Management (EDM) program
to provide a quality general management education and a six-month
Executive Diploma in Electronic Commerce (EDEC) program to give
latest electronic commerce trend and development to local executives.
The School provides a full range in general management education
(EMBA, MBA, EDM, EDEC and short executive programs) for executives
with different managerial experience and academic and career aspirations.

Undergraduate
Programs
Associate
Dean and Director of Undergraduate Programs:
Kar-Yan TAM, BS Univ of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; MS, PhD
Purdue
(Professor of Information and Systems Management)
All undergraduate students in the BBA and
BBA Accounting programs are required to complete a common core curriculum
in their first year of study. After that, with the guidance of academic
advisors and approval from the Undergraduate Programs Office, students
will select a program in one of the following areas: accounting,
economics, finance, information systems, operations management,
management of organizations, and marketing. The curriculum of each
of these seven programs is designed in such a way that a student
can have "double majors" in these areas if he or she wishes
to do so. Therefore, graduation with dual program designation (e.g.
BBA in Finance and Marketing) is possible. The curriculum of each
program is described in detail under the respective major department.
Alternatively, students may opt for the general business management
program to get a broad and general education in business and management.
The curriculum for the BBA program in General Business Management
is given in the section below.
A new program, BBA Global Business will be offered commencing in
2001/2002. Students will follow a different curriculum, which is
given in the section below. Apart from a comprehensive training
in business, courses are designed to develop students' global perspective,
communication capabilities, leadership skills, critical thinking,
and problem solving abilities. Students will go abroad to one of
our international exchange partners for one semester. Students are
also expected to have a second major in any of the following areas:
Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Operations
Management, Management of Organizations and Marketing.
Undergraduate students in the BSc Economics
and Finance program will have a separate curriculum. For details,
