Message from Dean

In fact, ZIBS has never lacked vision and passion ‒ though of course, we can always have more enthusiasm. What we may be lacking is the execution capability, the ability to truly align knowledge with action and concentrate our efforts to complete each task effectively. At ZIBS, our culture emphasizes being direct and straightforward. We respect every individual who deserves respect, not because of their position or title, but because their achievements earn it. Our true sense of happiness and fulfillment comes from the positive experience of our students and the recognition of our partners and colleagues.

We are a science & technology-focused global business school from China; we are here to serve the people globally. Concepts such as "international" and "inclusive" within our "5i" philosophy are built upon this foundational worldview. We are focused on long-term growth, not short-term gains. When others see challenges, I hope every ZIBSer sees opportunities; when others feel pressure, we should turn it into motivation.

Our core competitive advantage lies in our culture and spirit. If our culture cannot be passed down, ZIBS will lose its meaning of existence. To maintain our sustainable growth, we need to build reserves in three aspects: inspiration (ideas), finances, and talents. In the future, let's build a brave, determined, and pleasant ZIBS ecosystem and community together.
