In 2001, after our school's upgrading into a technology university, in order to consolidate our educational goal in emphasizing both science and humanities, and cultivate professionals in human
resources, our department was established. In addition to enhancing the development in humanistic
education in our school, the establishment of our department aspires to grasp the development of
enterprise organization-- the trend of human-oriented business management. Now, business
management tends to be human oriented for the following reason: natural resources are limited;
however, human resources are also inexhaustible. It is exceptionally true in Taiwan. Human beings
should be the biggest and most potential resources. The establishment of our department target
assists business and government to cultivate "human resources" and facilitate business in making
the best use of "human resources". We believe, with our endeavor that we will be able to help
promote our competitive advantage, in achieving the goal of national development. |
