"Why do you set up a 'Science and Technology Innovation Office'?" This is the "soul question" that Lu Xiongwen, dean of the School of Management of Fudan University, almost every time he encountered when he took the college teachers and the professional team of science and technology innovation office to conduct research.

From the first scientific and technological innovation establishment in the School of Management of Chinese universities two years ago, to the launch of the Fudan Science and Technology Entrepreneur Camp, and to the first Fudan MBA Science and Technology Youth Care Camp on September 30, 2022, Lu Xiongwen is more confident in answering this question: "No science and technology innovation, no future, what we need to do is to empower science and technology innovation with management, so that scientists can achieve a higher success rate in entrepreneurship."

[Scholars and entrepreneurs form "dual mentors"]

This is a very important list of "dual mentors" composed of scholars and scientific and technological entrepreneurs -

Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and President of Fudan University Jinli serves as the chief mentor of Fudan MBA Science and Technology Innovation Youth Cadre Camp. He said at the opening ceremony that the spirit of science and technology innovation is Fudan’s natural gene, and the development of science and technology innovation requires management empowerment and young talents.

In addition to the "family members" of the School of Management, there are also academic supervisors Professor Chen Yan, executive vice president of Fudan Graduate School, Professor Zhang Wei, dean of Fudan Microelectronics School, Dean of Fudan School of Life Sciences Professor Lin Xinhua and Dean of Fudan School of Philosophy Sun Xiangchen .

The founder, chairman and general manager of Zhongwei Semiconductor Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. are Yin Zhiyao , Chairman of Real-time Xia Intelligent Control Technology Co., Ltd., Jiang Yao, founder of Innovent Biopharmaceuticals, Yu Dechao , co-founder of iFLYTEK , Yu Yu , Chairman of Shanghai Guohui Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., Zhang Zhaolong, Chief Consultant of Shanghai Guan'an Information Technology Co., Ltd., Ruan Chenjie, founder and CEO of Shanghai Nanxin Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., Tao Chunlei, founder of Anhui Wanbang Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., and other well-known science and technology entrepreneurs.

64, the average age of the first MBA Science and Technology Innovation Youth Cadre Camp was selected. The average age of students from biomedicine , new generation information technology, new materials, high-end equipment, energy conservation and environmental protection industries, among which 24% are entrepreneurial elites, 63% are professional managers, and 13% are professionals. Based on the completed core MBA courses, under the guidance of scholars and science and technology entrepreneurs, they will focus on the management characteristics and connotations of science and technology enterprises, concentrate on participating in the top-level design and learning of science and technology enterprises, grasp the new trends of technology application and development, and explore new models of decision-making and management of science and technology enterprises.

[How to cross the two sides of the "river"]

"The distance between scientists and entrepreneurs is not just a gap, but at least it is also the two sides of the river." Lu Xiongwen said that doing a good job in R&D does not mean that the company can do it well. The faster the company develops, the greater the management pressure.

, founder of Nanxin Semiconductor Technology, Ruan Chenjie, admitted that he didn't like to meet investors in the early stages of his business because he felt it was difficult to explain clearly what he was doing. He had a little resistance to "management" before, feeling that it was not in line with his entrepreneurial philosophy. Later, he participated in the Fudan Science and Technology Entrepreneur Camp, gained a new understanding of management, and gradually established a corporate culture of "transparency and self-awakening".

In Lu Xiongwen's view, empowering science and technology innovation enterprises is by no means possible by traditional management knowledge plus some science and technology innovation elements, but requires original research. "Today's growth logic and development laws of science and technology innovation enterprises are completely different from traditional multinational enterprises. The complete set of management ideas and systems established with the global expansion of multinational companies in the 1950s is no longer effective for science and technology innovation enterprises. The management paradigm and management logic need to be rebuilt, so as to help science and technology grow and transform technology into real productivity."

Therefore, Fudan School of Management proposed the concept of "management empowering science and technology innovation" in 2020, and deeply explored the management methods of science and technology innovation enterprises.Today, the college has researched as many as 23 scientific and technological innovation management projects.

As a pioneer in domestic science and technology management education, Fudan School of Management has regarded "innovation leading change" as part of the college culture. "It's not adapting to changes, but leading changes. Science and technology are the underlying strength that determines all competition. Our goal is to cultivate management talents in the era of science and technology innovation and help China's science and technology innovation development."
