The first characteristic of education: the training purpose of applying what you have learned.
The goal of MBA education in our school is to cultivate all-round compound talents with broad vision, wide knowledge, courage to explore, innovative thinking and good communication and cooperation. Emphasis is placed on cultivating students' ability to analyze and solve practical problems. Committed to the cultivation of entrepreneurs and professional managers in China, shaping the five qualities of new management talents;

In order to highlight the core training direction of MBA education in our school, we have built a characteristic platform in four aspects: curriculum design, case construction, teaching methods, teaching management and quality training. ?
The second characteristic of education: a teacher who can gather energy and develop.
The MBA Education Center is equipped with the best teachers in our school. They not only have the characteristics of high academic qualifications, high academic qualifications and high professional titles, but also have rich practical experience in scientific research in enterprises. At the same time, we also hired many outstanding entrepreneurs as part-time professors of MBA in our school to teach or lecture MBA students. Pay attention to the construction of MBA teachers. High-quality teachers are the premise and guarantee to improve the quality of MBA. Our school has taken the following measures in the construction of MBA teachers:
(1) Implement the MBA teacher certification system. That is, every MBA teacher must be certified by the MBA Teaching Steering Committee of the school. The basic selection conditions are academic qualifications, degree, scientific research, enterprise practice and teaching effect.
(2) Introduce excellent teachers with rich practical experience and high professional titles to enrich the MBA team. Introduce talents from our school, foreign schools and enterprise groups to enrich the development of teaching staff, constantly adapt to the development of market economy and improve the structure of MBA teachers.
(3) Strengthen the training of existing teachers. Our school arranges teachers to visit universities and research institutions in the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Hong Kong and other countries or regions in a planned way, such as studying for degrees and studying on the job. In the past three years, MBA teachers have received 96 training and advanced studies, including 55 core course teachers, with an average of 1.62 times per person, which has improved the overall teaching level of MBA teachers.
(4) Organize teachers of MBA core courses and professional courses to carry out teaching and research activities regularly, 3-5 times per semester for each course, and publish some teaching results in the form of papers. Through the above measures, we have broadened the horizons of MBA teachers in our school, absorbed advanced teaching methods and practical experience, and accelerated the construction and training of MBA teachers in our school.
Feature 3: Optimize and update the curriculum system.
In order to ensure the scientific and practical design of MBA curriculum, our school highlights its characteristics according to the regulations of the National MBA Education Steering Committee and the actual situation of enterprises. On the basis of satisfying the credit requirements of MBA graduate students, MBA course highlights the main objectives and core functions of MBA education in our school. In view of the purpose of personnel training and the academic research advantages of our college, we have set up a number of characteristic professional sections to adapt to the changes of market economy, such as enterprise management, financial management, marketing management, production and operation, e-commerce, information management, etc., which not only ensures the systematicness and integrity of the discipline system, but also deepens the depth and breadth of students' professional fields.
The fourth feature of education: the training method of learning from teaching.
Combined with the characteristics of MBA education, our school pays attention to case teaching and on-site teaching in MBA teaching, and encourages teachers to enrich the MBA teaching case base by using excellent cases at home and abroad, case use instructions and self-made cases. Use various channels to train MBA teachers in organizing case teaching in a planned and step-by-step manner, so that teachers can make continuous progress in organizing case teaching scientifically and artistically. In the teaching process, we not only emphasize teachers' words and deeds, but also attach great importance to students' participation. Through case discussion, experience exchange and special report, students can express their opinions, which enlivens the classroom atmosphere and strengthens the combination of theory and practice. The case discussions in various professional courses are enthusiastic, and students speak enthusiastically, which not only deepens students' impression of theoretical learning, but also makes theoretical knowledge applied and students' knowledge application ability improved. While attaching importance to case teaching, our school also attaches importance to the on-site teaching of MBA students and has established a solid experimental base for MBA teaching. In recent years, it has successively signed agreements with Qinchuan Machinery Development Co., Ltd., Baoji Petroleum Steel Pipe Factory, Shaanxi Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering Bureau, xi 'an Transformer Factory, Yongji Motor Factory of Ministry of Railways, Luoyang Locomotive Factory, Yi Tuo Group, Eleventh Engineering Bureau of Ministry of Water and Electricity, and organized students to visit the learning base for many times. On-site teaching has achieved remarkable results, and teaching and learning have been fully reflected in our MBA education.
The fifth feature of education: the management system of whole-process management
In order to ensure the quality of MBA training and improve the level of MBA education, the MBA Education Steering Committee is composed of the Graduate School of Xi University of Technology and the School of Business Administration of Xi University of Technology, which is fully responsible for the management and guidance of the whole process of MBA education, and gives strong support in human, financial and material resources. The School of Business Administration of Xi University of Technology is responsible for the implementation of MBA programs, and has established an MBA management center and an expert steering committee. So as to ensure the high-quality implementation of MBA programs and the implementation of various teaching management work. MBA teaching management is the responsibility of MBA management center, with complete teaching documents, classified collection and orderly management. In the process of MBA training, our school strictly follows the system and takes some effective measures:
(1) Strict student management system. (1) attendance system. Take the teacher's roll call, the class teacher and the MBA office spot check, the teacher must issue an attendance sheet, which will be reviewed by the MBA office. If the attendance rate is less than 2/3, the examination qualification will be cancelled and posted. ② Vacation system. Because MBA students are mostly on-the-job cadres, they are busy with work and have many meetings, on the basis of humanization, we should focus on monitoring students who are absent from class, and conduct informed criticism for a few MBA students who are lax in discipline, absent from class and take more leave to ensure the teaching order; (3) Implement the "examination card" system. When each student enters the school, the school handles an exam card with a photo of himself for each student. The invigilator randomly issues cards during each course exam, and the students sit in the table according to the card, which effectively eliminates cheating in the exam.
(2) Do a good job in teaching evaluation of MBA teachers. The MBA office organizes all students to grade teachers anonymously every semester, and holds student symposiums every semester to solicit students' opinions and suggestions on teaching work, inform relevant teachers in time, and take corresponding measures to solve them. The evaluation results serve as an important basis for teachers' professional title evaluation and year-end assessment.
(3) Strengthen the monitoring of MBA teaching process. Strictly check the selection of teaching materials, classroom teaching, content updating, homework cases, test questions and test paper forms to ensure the quality of MBA education from the system. At the same time, through the annual selection of MBA teachers, public trial lectures and strict selection, as well as the teaching exchange and training of in-service teachers, the college builds a soft environment for teaching organization, creates excellent MBA teaching courses and builds our MBA brand.
Educational Features 6: High-standard Papers
MBA dissertations are an important part of MBA education. The writing process of MBA thesis is the comprehensive application of MBA management knowledge. On the one hand, it can sublimate the theoretical knowledge learned in class, on the other hand, it can discuss and solve specific problems existing in actual management in combination with practice. Our school attaches great importance to this work. 1998 specially formulated the management document of MBA graduate students in Xi University of Technology, which made strict regulations on tutor allocation, thesis opening, thesis defense, thesis evaluation and so on, and strictly implemented it in practice, and received good results.
(1) Thesis tutors implement the "two-way selection" system. In order to make MBA thesis more operable, the topic selection of students' thesis must be consistent with the research direction of the tutor. In this regard, our school requires that the teachers who guide MBA thesis should have the experience of guiding ordinary graduate students or have rich practical experience and stable research direction. The distribution of each MBA thesis adopts the "two-way selection system", which ensures the consistency between the students' topic selection and the research direction of the tutor and lays a solid foundation for improving the quality of MBA graduation thesis.
(2) Strictly control the topic selection of MBA thesis. Different from ordinary graduate students, MBA graduation thesis should focus on applied research. According to the characteristics of MBA education, our school requires that the topic selection of MBA graduation thesis should adhere to the principle of "integrating theory with practice and reasoning based on facts". The topic must be based on the management practice of industrial and commercial enterprises and the reality of the unit, and choose the management problems that you are familiar with or interested in as the research topic. The topic should not be too big, and it has certain operability. The research content should be pragmatic and innovative, and the research methods should be combined with quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis.
(3) Strictly control MBA thesis practice. A qualified MBA thesis must solve specific problems in management practice. In this regard, the main methods of our school are as follows: (1) the research content of MBA thesis must have specific units as the background, and the research content should not be vague; (2) After the graduation thesis begins, each student must go to the internship unit to conduct investigation and research, collect information, keep in touch with the internship unit frequently, and constantly revise and supplement the relevant contents of the MBA thesis; ③ Encourage MBA students to participate in enterprise scientific research practice. MBA tutors have their own research directions and topics, most of which come from enterprises, and mainly solve practical problems, which is of practical significance and forward-looking. The participation of MBA students in these research topics will inevitably broaden the horizons of thesis research and create conditions for improving the quality of MBA papers.
(4) Strictly monitor MBA thesis guidance. The MBA thesis implements the system of combining tutor responsibility system and tutor group check from the opening to the defense. The tutor guides the students' research summary and research outline, and each student and tutor should make a work plan for thesis writing, including time arrangement, writing content, word requirements, format, investigation and research, working methods, etc. And report the work plan to the tutor group leader and MBA office.
(5) Strictly control the defense of MBA thesis. Finish the MBA graduation thesis and enter the thesis defense stage. First of all, with the consent of the tutor, students apply to the MBA office for defense, and the MBA office will review it according to the starting time and workload, and issue relevant defense forms after agreeing to defense. The system of "pre-defense" and "impromptu question-and-answer" is implemented in the MBA graduation thesis of our school, and the thesis is randomly selected for "blind examination and blind evaluation", so as to urge the instructors and students to take it seriously and improve the quality of the thesis.
Education Feature 7: Shaping and Cultivating Team Spirit
Team spirit is the essence of MBA class culture and the adhesive of MBA team. In order to establish a good team spirit among MBA students. In the process of MBA teaching, our school always organizes the learning process from the perspective of team.
(1) Establish flexible learning groups. Different groups have been established in classroom learning, management games and case analysis, and strengthened in various ways. After years of training, excellent team spirit has achieved initial results, and many MBA entrepreneurial and management teams have emerged.
(2) Carry out outward bound training activities. According to the study time, the school organizes students at all levels to carry out outward bound training and random combination, so as to enhance the adaptability of cooperation, exercise the ability to deal with emergencies and hone students' perseverance and courage.
(3) Establish MBA Association, actively participate in various MBA activities, and show students' elegant demeanor.
(4) Establish an MBA network with extensive mutual assistance. MBA students come from all walks of life, and most of them are middle and senior managers of various units. Through the communication between students, we can exchange business information quickly and effectively and establish a wide network of business relations.
After ten years of rapid development, the MBA education of Xi University of Technology has begun to take shape, established an MBA brand, and has been recognized by the whole society. With the further prosperity of MBA education in China, the MBA education in Xi University of Technology will also keep pace with the times and become an important force in MBA education in China!
