On July 2, 2022, Professor Lu Xiongwen, Dean of the School of Management of Fudan University, delivered a speech at the graduation ceremony

Dear President Zhang, graduates at the scene, online graduates, family members, relatives and friends, and second -generation children, colleagues, friends:

good afternoon everyone!

It was another year of graduation. This year we held the 2022 graduation ceremony in the form of online and offline synchronization. First of all, I want to graduate from all students who graduated this year, undergraduates, master students, doctoral students, MBA, EMBA, MPACC, DBA and other 2296 students from Fudan to successfully complete their studies in Fudan, expressing warm congratulations! The glorious name of your people is published on the "21st Century Business Herald" and "First Financial Daily" on the occasion of the 101st birthday of the party yesterday to celebrate the commemoration and celebration at a special moment.

Looking back at your study journey in Fudan, some doctoral students may be as long as five years or even ten years, but most of the students of professional degrees have only two or three years in Fudan. During the time, he has been troubled by the epidemic. Although you study on campus most of the summer to 2021 in the summer of 2020, you are not as freely as we have been on the university campus as usual as the epidemic prevention and control. I just said in a graduation video that I wanted to go back to school to see the cherry trees, but they could only be appreciated through photos and videos. At this special moment, I would like to thank the family members of the graduates to give you great support for your spiritual and material support for you, especially the great efforts of the parents of full -time students!

At the same time, I also want to thank our overseas partners: MIT Sloan Management College, the University of Washington University of Olympic Business, Norway Business School, London Business School, University of Hong Kong, University of Pokini, Louis University, Hong Kong University , Taiwan University, Korean University, Singapore National University. In the past two years, most courses of cooperation projects have been taught online. The cooperation between the two parties understand each other and cooperate closely to each other to jointly create "perfect" for our students, so that you can get a degree smoothly.

All crisis should not be wasted and all costs should not be degraded. I believe that the experience of more than two years has allowed you to have a deeper understanding of the fate of learning, occupation, life, society, and even the entire human beings.

In fact, I said "perfect" is just a good wish. Today I have a great regret and some kind of unwilling to send off for the graduates. I understand that the campus life of this graduate is unusual and complete, but regrets and lacks have also achieved an atypical beauty, because of their unique and profoundness. Students may have less emotional and experienced experience, but they also leave a memory that engraved the bone marrow. In the fight with the epidemic, we feel exhausted, anxious, and even frustrated, but along the way, our will has been sharpened, the spirit is beaten, and we become more tough. All crisis should not be wasted and all costs should not be degraded. I believe that the experience of more than two years has allowed you to have a deeper understanding of the fate of learning, occupation, life, society, and even the entire human beings. In the repeated torture and struggle, the soul was sublimated, and the soul was baptized in continuous cleaning and seeking. This is what I call an atypical beauty.

I know that although there are such lacks, our classmates have always been proud of the Fudan School of Management. This is not only because the college has continued to improve the international ranking of academic contribution and management education, but the entire college has also done its best to provide you with opportunities for education and growth in international advanced standards. Our excellent teachers adhere to the spirit of seeking truth, be loyal to their duties and cultivate their talents. Our administrative colleague adheres to the concept of concentration and specialization of love, and has created a wealth of extra -curricular activities, practical internships and international learning for students, and provides everyone with colorful, real and virtual combination as much as possible College life. I believe that graduates have completely learned and mastered systematic management theories and methods, and they are eager to prepare for practicing the ideal of "managing the country".

Management has irreplaceable value to the response to the current global public crisis, the realization of the global economic order reconstruction cooperation, the scientific and technological revolution and the advancement of the industrial revolution.

In today's era, the scientific and technological revolution is flourishing, and the industrial revolution is coming. However, the international political situation is weird and turbulent, the global economic structure and financial order are being reshaped, the new crown epidemic is continued to be disturbed, and the Vuca era is becoming more VUCA, that is, more turbulent, more uncertain, more complicated and chaotic. In my opinion, since the first industrial revolution in the 1960s, management has never been so important to the evolution of global socio -economic aspects like today.

As far as the scientific and technological revolution is concerned, only the chance of scientific and technological innovation will be greatly reduced. Otherwise, the failure of technology and product innovation will seriously slow down the progress of technology and the innovation of the industry. The R & D organization, governance structure, business model, market strategy and supply chain layout of scientific and technological enterprises without scientific design, it is difficult for technology to transform into real productivity.

At the same time, global enterprises, which are troubled by natural disasters and human disasters, are facing an important test, that is, the supply chain reorganization. If you do not go from the perspective of management to analyze the division and combination of supply chain, and the logic of breeding, growth and evolution, any emergency and response actions, fragmentation or replication of some links will be reckless and short. The effective reorganization of the supply chain must be allocated in the next two decades, or even longer for the dimension of the resource. This can not only ensure the smoothness of the supply chain, but also support the toughness of the supply chain under the suppression of various complex external forces. For more than two years, the new crown epidemic has raged globally, and different countries and regions have adopted different response strategies. Generally speaking, all places that can use scientific management ideas and methods to guide and organize epidemic prevention and control, the prevention and control effect is better. Anyone who is separated from scientific management will occur, the mismatch of resources, the raging virus, and even the blocking of socio -economic activities, a large number of secondary disasters derived, leading to huge waste of socio -economic efficiency and even the loss of life. The so -called prevention and control of the "layer" in some places just highlight the ignorance and contempt of management.

learn from past experience. In his famous masterpiece "Planet", writer Camus said: "Everything that a person can win in the gambling of plague and life is knowledge and memory." If the whole society does not pay attention to management, does not regard management as science, and does not regard management as the same productivity as technology, our detours will go far. It is not too much emphasized to reflect on the meaning and value of management from the dimension of life. Management has irreplaceable value to the response to the current global public crisis, the realization of the global economic order reconstruction cooperation, the scientific and technological revolution and the advancement of the industrial revolution.

The issues that are concerned about the management institutes, such as ESG, diversity and tolerance, sustainable development, Yuan universe, science and technology ethics, have jumped out of a single institution such as enterprises, non -profit organizations, and governments.

Since I entered Fudan University for study and management in the 1980s, two former national leaders' understanding of management has given me a profound inspiration, and I have been urging me to promote the scientific theory and ideals of managing management. Promote the development of management education. One is Comrade Zhu Rongji. He has long been the dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University. He is 17 years old and is the dean of the old school of mainstream universities in the country. He believes that China lacks management experts and talents, lacks the knowledge and attention of the whole society, puts forward the idea of ​​"managing the country", and promotes the development management disciplines of universities across the country with its own part -time non -paying promotion. The other is Comrade Li Lanqing, a highly respected old alumni. He attaches great importance to management when he presides over Chinese education and economic and trade work. He believes that management is the most basic driving force for the entire socio -economic organization and effective development. After he stepped down, he used his own manuscript fee to launch the Fudan Management Reward Fund to select and recognize the entrepreneurs who have successful practice and theoretical summary of the management scholars. In order to promote China's management theory and practical development. He has also repeatedly warned me to innovate management theories and methods based on Chinese management practice.

So, what is management? Simply put, it is "managing people" and "directors". Each college graduate student is very clear. The essence of management is to set goals first, and then to allocate resources and development capabilities in order to achieve the goals, formulate strategies and strategies, and then implement them step by step. These processes must be guided with scientific methods.

For more than a hundred years, management, analysis, development, and teaching has been known for its development, social changes, and prosperity of civilization. In the Taylor era, managers were just a record person, a supervisor, and a reporter who was responsible for collecting and deciding related information. Henry Fayer, the first to realize that management is an independent discipline, and it is necessary to systematically study. He believes that management is prediction and planning, organization, command, coordination and control. Drucker believes that management is the basic organs and functions of organizing society, and management is a true comprehensive science and art.

Today, management, as a science, is based on many disciplines; management, as an art, has a effective practice depends on the beliefs, cognition and experience of each manager. The issues that are concerned about the management institutes, such as ESG, diversity and tolerance, sustainable development, Yuan universe, science and technology ethics, have jumped out of a single institution such as enterprises, non -profit organizations, and governments.

The beauty of business is that business is a "top sky" knowledge. The "top sky" of the business lies in its philosophical and scientificity. The "standing ground" of the business lies in its practicality and artistry.

At the graduation ceremony five years ago, I have shared my understanding of the "beauty of business" with you. Five years later, I can refine it again: The beauty of business is that business is a "top sky" science.

The "top sky" of the business lies in its philosophical and scientificity. The reason why management develops from occasional behaviors to science is closely related to the development of the industrial revolution and the progress of scientific and technological progress. The realization of the realization of the ultimate goals requires the support of disciplines such as philosophy, ethics, mathematics, economics, psychology, sociology, and even political science. The leaders and decision -making makers of an organization do not always calculate the gains and losses in quantitative methods when setting their goals. Many goals setting is based on personal value preferences or even a belief. Only after the goal is determined, the specific plan, organization, coordination, control, and execution can be analyzed, calculated, compared, and selected by more quantitative methods, and then implemented. Without many scientific support, the scientific nature of management will not be able to talk about it. GM CEO Welch said that management is to simplify complex issues and standardize chaotic things. I think management is a process of scientific phenomena, and it is also a process of scientific decision -making. The "standing ground" of the business lies in its practicality and artistry. Due to local conditions, adapt to people, and adapt to time, managers reflect the transparent understanding and profound grasp of managers' transparent understanding of management as science, professional and rational tools. Mencius warned us: "It can be fast and fast, and over time, it can be located." Truth is based on the fact that the facts and information are fully grasped, and the conclusions obtained by professional and scientific methods are used. The rigid, indifferent, dogmatic, separated management, and the management of a single goal result is often not truly scientific management, nor is it art management. In practice, we must take the actual scenario and actual problems as the starting point, and we must not engrave the boat for swords. Globally, after more than ten, or even decades of refinement, some students graduated from business school have become leaders of large entrepreneurs and multinational companies; Become government officials and university scholars, which are inseparable from the aspirations, cultivation, experience, self -driving force and learning ability. I sincerely hope that all graduates of the Fudan School of Management can achieve their own life goals.

Our Fudan School of Management is committed to cultivating leaders in various fields in society. It can not only be the leaders of the enterprise, but also the leaders of government organizations and other social organizations, but also academic leaders. This requires us to commit to cultivating and developing Student leadership.

Leaders are rarely born, but most of them can be discovered, excavated and developed in the future. Excellent leaders often have the mission and vision. He can come through today's realistic trouble and fog, to capture the future opportunities with five years, ten years, or even longer time dimensions. , Mobilize various resources. An excellent leader is not only a self -driven example, but also good at motivating people around him and encouraging more people to participate in the goals and careers he set. He can know people and be wise. Excellent leaders must not only have a sense of benevolence, but also a kind of kindness, reflect human care, and respond to human heart. Here, I also have to warn everyone that when you serve as a certain leadership position, you must be alert to those who turn around you all day long. Historical experience tells us that such people are either selfish, ambitious, and even the fastest that changes in the situation and betray you.

Management learning and practice is not only a precise scientific inquiry, but also a rich artistic creation, but also a leadership cultivation. Ding Ding Xie Niu reflects not only skills, but also the essence of management. Management should use philosophy as the knife handle, methodology as the blade, to create a "jewelery knife" that solves the problem. As small as the individual, the organization of a group, and the survival of the fittest, the survival, competition and development of a city and a country, we should all let the management of the scientific science and the light of art run through it.

Mr. Xu Yiyun said that man is a cultural animal. As long as people are not separated from the individual existence of the human civilization system, they need to be managed. We should recognize that the effectiveness of management determines the operating efficiency and order of operation of the entire society, the scientific and effectiveness of complex decisions, and determining the direction of the industrial and commercial prosperity. To a certain extent, it also determines the fate of human society.

Graduates, I hope that in the future, you will be a manor who has feelings and responsibilities in management practice. He is the leader of the world and beings.

Graduates, you are about to embark on a long journey of life in the future. You have a limited time for students to do students in the management college. They are two or three years, and they are five or ten years long. I also welcome you to have the opportunity to return to Fite in the future and return to the management college to charge. However, the management concepts, ideas and methods, and the learning ability you have learned at the Fudan School of Management have been enough to allow you to learn new knowledge and welcome new challenges in various new ways in the Yuan Universe era.

Graduates, I hope that in the future, you will be a manor who has feelings and responsibilities in management practice. He is the leader of the world and beings. Not only do you have to achieve your professional ideal, to achieve the organizational mission you are responsible for, you also have to mark the height of our management college at the height of your achievement. Not only will you create material wealth, you will also interpret, create and spread the positive spiritual wealth through your management practice.

Over the past year, the Fudan School of Management has re -sorted out the culture of the School of Management through in -depth and extensive discussions on all faculty and staff.Our college training is "learning and establishing business, Houde Hui people". Our college culture is "managing the country, seeking truth from the beginning, innovation and receiving, and opening diversification."Here, I also hope that you will become the best messenger of the Fudan School of Management.You have to prove that management is a science of "top sky" with the practice and performance of your own knowledge and action, and it is also a art that can write dreams and create wonderful art.At the same time, you have to become a preacher of management science and spread management of the value and significance of today's world and this era.While achieving you, you can change your organization, change your industry and field, and create a new future of this society!

In the journey of managing the country, let us conceive the truth of management, seeking management, and the beauty of the world!

bless all of you!thank you all!
