Has the younger generation well prepared for joining the tide of creating start-ups?
For how the youths can perform well in creating start-ups, Mr Wang Fan, Dean of Sun Yat-sen Business School of Sun Yat-sen University pointed out that the prime concern is a good grasp of the development of the macro economy of the community. He felt that facing the rapid development of modern society, how to integrate resources and optimize business management are two issues young entrepreneurs need to handle and think seriously. Mr Zhu Renhong, Deputy Director of the School of Entrepreneurship of Sun Yat-sen University gave an 8-Chinese characters maxim as advice to the youngsters attending the event with a passion for creating their own business as: “I hope every entrepreneur who has a passion for creating his/her own business can also learn the principle of ‘act at the right time and estimate one’s own strength for action’.”
There is still a long way to go on how to narrow the gap between education and practice platform
Professor Lu Yunbo, Director of the Center for the Simulation of Engineering Organizations of Tongji University shared with the guests his prediction of the characteristics of the big data era. For contemporary educators at universities, Professor Lu thought that they should think more on what areas the future universities should expand into and how to link up the span between practice in the community and the platform of higher education institutions, so that students can apply what they learn to their professions or work areas immediately after they have left their ivory tower. Only with this , students can better input innovative ideas and new energy to their professions.
