Vice Dean Pu Zhengning of the School of Economics and Management said that the school would fully support the relevant educational reform work, and discussed the connotation of different “leading talents”, including “strategic scientists”, “technological entrepreneurs” and “excellent engineers”, in the light of the spirit of the 20th National Congress and the national socio-economic construction needs. We need not only to support the research on leadership-related theories, but also to clarify the orientation of “leadership talent” training and the content requirements of leadership literacy for each major, and to strengthen the combination of the first, second, and third classes.
