With Professor Cai Gangshu from Santa Clara University as an academic pacesetter, outstanding doctors from overseas combined with International Business College’s international background and business data analysis specialty as technical support, the Centre works hand in glove with the academic circles and business circles at home and abroad to do in-depth research into issues concerning supply chain management, and it is devoted to transforming academic theories into practical knowledge. It not only works on researching the conventional supply chain, including procurement, production, stock, transportation and distribution, in particular international frontier academic issues concerning supply chain management, but focuses on new research fields, such as big data-based supply chain management, green supply chain management, supply-chain finance and Internet finance. Moreover, considering that “theoretical issues should be collected from enterprises, while research achievements should be applied to enterprises”, the Centre pays much attention to catering to industry and enterprise demands.
