Influenced by the May 4th Movement, Nankai University was officially established on October 17, 1919. Mr. Zhang Boling, the first president of Nankai University, put forward the school concept of “governing the country by culture, strengthening the country by science, and enriching the country by business”, which blazed a trail in modern business education in China. Over the past hundred years, the NKBS has always focused on the academic frontier and major social needs, and responded to vital real problems with profound theories. Now it has a national key discipline, a national important research base, a national social science innovation base and a critical research site for humanities and social science of the Ministry of Education. NKBS regards micro-enterprises as the core research object. Based on the functions of business administration, it has developed the disciplines such as business administration, accounting, financial management, marketing, human resources and more. Along with the increasingly in-depth reform and opening up and the intensive changes of state-owned enterprises, it has also created more subject fields, like corporate governance, and administrations of tourism, service, project, logistics and supply chain, as well as information resources. Thanks to social transformation, technological development and national double innovation strategy, the School has formed distinctive educational directions, including startup and innovative administration, and global marketing. In 1998, the first management academic journal, Nankai Business Review, was released by NKBS, which took the lead in launching such a publication among business schools of universities. In 2007, the discipline of Business Administration ranked the third in China Discipline Ranking. In 2013, 2014 and 2016, NKBS earned AMBA Accreditation, Chinese Advanced Management Education Accreditation (CAMEA), and AACSB International Accreditation, respectively. In 2017, the discipline of Business Administration ranked A-level in the fourth round of China Discipline Ranking. Over the past centenary, NKBS has kept on with its original intention by pooling talents and educating students. When rolling into the new period, it will pay equal attention to inheritance and innovation, and do the utmost to cultivate professionals and work on researches. Promoting education to serve the country, and exerting consistent efforts to pursue better future, NKBS will continue writing the glory and dream of Nankai people.
