A Review of Knowledge Management Education in China

Abstract: The upsurge in knowledge production highlights the importance of knowledge management (KM), which leads to the increasing demands on KM professionals by organizations, governments, and society. To fulfill the urgent need for skills and expertise, universities in China have added KM-related courses to their curricula. Given the complexity of knowledge and the interdisciplinary nature of KM as well as the diversity of the university structure, KM education in China has been developed as a crucial field. This paper reviews the development of KM education in Chinese universities and investigates the current KM curriculum designs of these universities. It takes KM-oriented research programs and courses from “Shuangyiliu” universities in China as a starting point, aiming to introduce the curriculum development landscape and demonstrate the interdisciplinary origins of the KM curriculum. The results suggest that there is a trend that KM education needs to redefine target groups in order to fulfill various needs from society. There is also a need to encourage a broader collaboration among disciplines and further discussion of the disciplinary positioning of KM education in China.

Historical background and basic elements of the ideal of Chinese traditional management education

The article is devoted to determining the specifics of the ideal of traditional management education in China in the context of the modern strategy of ­China’s digital breakthrough. Using historical-philosophical, comparative and hermeneutic methods, the authors refer to the works of thinkers of Old China and modern researchers on the topic of education and public administration, and identify the components of the ideal traditional management education. It is stated that the ideal of management education is historical in nature, continuously developing and consists of a traditional core, which needs to be preserved and protected, and a “floating” part that is always adjusted in the conditions of changing reality. The Chinese society is characterised by the constant presence among the components of the national idea that lies in the dream to form a perfect managerial education based on historical practice which solved the state task of training managers of various levels. The historical prerequisites for the formation of such an ideal are described and the development of the modern system of education of civil servant is shown. Three main elements of the traditional education system are emphasised: concentration of knowledge under control of the national caste of managers; cognitive duality teacher-pupil as the basis of the learning process; stimulation of public education in contrast to home schooling. It is concluded that effective managerial education is impossible without a socio-cultural basis, a kind of educational ideal which fulfills the regulatory function.

Developing “learning society” as a basic condition for perfect management education in China

The article analyzes the Chinese educational system historical formation as an instrument of human capital development. Using the historical retrospection method and hermeneutic method, the authors, based on the works of ancient Chinese thinkers, study the development and formation of management education as a core element of the Chinese educational system. Turning to Chinese prognosticism, the authors take the image of the Great Unity society, that is, social justice and equal opportunities for all citizens (“Datong”) as a basis for the future desired image, which throughout centuries of Chinese history show the universal value of education and the high status of a civil servant in such a society. The historical background of modern educational system formation has been described and one of the key problems of modern China – the gap between the huge demand for higher education in society and the difficulties in the employment of graduates – pointed out. Conclusions have been drawn about the main features of the public administration modern system, the Chinese education place in the international market of educational services and the possible contribution of Chinese public administration researchers to the solution of public problems both within the country and around the world. Strategic scenarios for the further development of Chinese society in the context of the Datong project have been outlined.

Blended teaching mode based on small private online course and case-based learning in analgesia and sedation education in China: a comparison with an offline mode

BackgroundStandardized training for pain, agitation-sedation, and delirium (PAD) management is urgently needed for Chinese intensivists’ continuing education. Since 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese Analgesia and Sedation Education and Research (CASER) group has used an online blended teaching mode based on a small private online course (SPOC) and case-based learning (CBL). This study evaluated whether an online blended teaching mode has similar effects on PAD management training when an offline mode cannot be used.Materials and methodsSince 2020, the CASER group has provided offline training and online SPOC&CBL training three times each, targeting intensivists and ICU nurses in China. All participants were divided into an offline group and SPOC&CBL group. A final examination was offered in each training session to assess the students' mastery of professional knowledge. Teachers’ and students’ perceptions regarding the online SPOC&CBL mode were evaluated through questionnaires.ResultsOf all participants (n = 117), 106 completed all examinations and questionnaires. Most participants were aged 31–40 years (53, 50.0%), had an academic degree (60, 56.6%), and worked in a tertiary hospital (100, 94.34%). We assessed the learning effect on participants from two aspects: theory and clinical practice. There was no significant difference between the SPOC&CBL and offline groups in terms of theoretical, case analysis, and total scores (p > 0.05). In terms of the participants’ perceptions regarding the SPOC&CBL mode, 91.5% considered the online mode to be a useful and accessible alternative to improve knowledge and skills. A total of 95.7% of the participants believed that they could interact well with group members, and 87.2% believed that they had a good degree of participation. Of these participants, 76.6% believed that they had received valuable learning resources. All instructors believed that the SPOC&CBL mode was more flexible than the offline mode in terms of teaching time and location, and they were all willing to carry out training with the SPOC&CBL mode.ConclusionCompared to the offline mode, the SPOC&CBL mode can also enhance participants’ knowledge and skills and meets their expectations. Therefore, an online mode can be considered a potential method in PAD management education in China.

A Study on the Development of Art Management Education in China

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to study the curriculum of Chinese art management. Even in a short history, I would like to find out the problems of art management by studying the curriculum of the art management department installed and operated by each university. In addition, it is intended to provide data that can improve the quality of the curriculum by seeking improvement measures. Design/Methodology/Approach - The curriculum of Chinese art management was investigated by collecting Internet data search and graduate recruitment guidelines. Through the data obtained from the reference, a desirable curriculum development plan for the department of art management was found and a method to contribute was sought. Findings - The art management curriculum is an important place to cultivate professionals who will lead Chinese art management in the future. Therefore, the scope of the curriculum should be expanded, and research on art management should continue. Therefore, this study was designed to contribute to the development of the curriculum of art management. Research Implications - The department of art management in China has undergone many changes and developments, but it is still insufficient in the curriculum of the department of art management. Looking at the curriculum of universities, inefficient curriculum organization occupied a large proportion. Universities are working hard to foster talent, but the educational system within the university is still insufficient, and the future of the arts management department will be brightened only when more essential curriculum is developed and specialized for the rational establishment of the educational system.

TRANSFERENCIA DE CONOCIMIENTOS DE GESTIÓN Y NEGOCIOS EN CHINA

This study of transferring management and business knowledge in China tapped the views and opinions of 43 expert management educators who had participated in the transfer of management knowledge in China from the mid-1990s to the present time. It traces the development of management education in China following the implementation of the 1978 Open Door Policy, demonstrates the impact of China’s national culture on knowledge transfer, identifies success factors in the process, and exposes the noncomparability of culture-specific approaches to managing people and organizations. We argue that the management values, attitudes, and practices of Chinese managers are diverging from those in the West, which has significant implications for the curriculum and pedagogy employed in the delivery of management education. Understanding the basis for this divergence will benefit expat and local manager alike as they negotiate their managerial roles in cross-border organizations like international joint ventures (IJVs).

The transfer of management knowledge to China: building learning communities rather than translating Western textbooks?

The economic reforms in the People’s Republic of China have begun to open up this very large market. However, a major impediment to quicker or more substantive growth has been the paucity of experienced Chinese managers. In response, there has been a very rapid growth in business and management education in China, especially in MBA education. Given that management as a discipline was not previously taught in China, much of the knowledge base for this education has been imported from the West. However, it is argued that the linear attempt to transfer explicit management knowledge from the West to China is based on false assumptions about the nature of knowledge and so is unlikely to be effective. Instead a community model of knowledge is presented, which suggests that there needs to be an interaction between Chinese and Western ideas, which will benefit all parties.

Management education in China

Purpose – Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Recent times have witnessed unprecedented economic expansion in China. The rich vein of business opportunities generated as a result means that competition between firms is more intense than ever. Only those best equipped will be able to fully exploit the openings made available to them. Effective leadership often separates top-performing organizations from the also-rans. That much is hardly a secret. It is equally no surprise to learn that demand for managerial talent in China continues to soar while the economy remains in such rude health. The growing requirement for highly-competent leaders has heightened attention on the need to better educate and develop those already in management roles. One major consequence of this is more emphasis on qualifications like the Executive MBA (EMBA). Interest in EMBA programs is rising and a significant number of them are now available across the country. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to digest format.

Reflections on Design Management Education in China

AbstractDesign management and its instruction is a recent phenomenon in China. Rapid development is anticipated in the near future alongside the advances in China's innovation‐oriented society and its further economic growth. After reviewing the features of design management, the development of MBA programs, and the higher‐education system in contemporary China, this paper proposes a range of future solutions to the development of design management education programs in China. It suggests that curriculum development for better cultural fit with the current Chinese reality must be based not only on research into successful models in Europe and the United States, but on investigation into the specific demands of Chinese companies and Chinese teaching and learning styles. The paper goes on to show that, at this initial stage, foreign‐partner programs can be an immediate and efficient way of developing Chinese design management education, and concludes by outlining opportunities for further research.

An Investigation of the Transferability of Design Management Education from the UK to China

AbstractAn Design management has not previously been taught in China and many of the new courses are imported from the West. However, differences in culture, education system, and economic need make the transfer complex, thus requiring interpretation, as well as translation. This paper aims to explore the nature of problems and challenges faced in design management education when transferring from the UK to China. It will also present a program of research set up to explore these issues.The transfer of educational programs to a culturally different context must consider both the curriculum and the teaching and learning methods of participants. In the case of education that aims to prepare graduates for industry, the structure and needs of the employer must also be considered. There is already much written about the transfer of management education from West to East, and although this knowledge should inform our study of design management education in China, the discipline has additional aspects that may be culturally sensitive. From existing literature, this paper presents key issues relating to curriculum and teaching and learning that need to be taken into account when developing new courses.The findings from a research project described in this paper are expected to provide groundwork for the development of design management education as an enabling discipline. It will also provide a better understanding of cultural aspects of design management provision, question Western paradigms, and assist in an understanding of the transfer of curriculum across cultural boundaries.

The Dragon is Roaring… The Development of Tourism, Hospitality & Event Management Education in China

This paper analyses the development of Tourism, Hospitality & Event Management (THE) Education in China. It particularly focuses on the changes in the past 25 years and how education in this field is evolving in terms of scale, expansion and quality improvement. Also discussed are government policies related to China's internationalization of THE education, characteristics, problems and strategies in terms of how higher education institutions can initiate international cooperation. The paper suggests there is an emerging voice from the Chinese tourism academy, but it is still comparatively weak and quality issues in education will become the main focus after the rapid expansion of the last 25 years. Currently paradoxes exist of generalization and specialization, internationalization and national agendas, and will continue to remain as challenges in the future.
