Wei Lu introduced the basic information of the School and the difficulties in the future development of the discipline. As the management discipline leader in Hefei University of Technology, Shanlin Yang believes that management is guided by thought and mission, and it is the integration of science and art. Discipline construction should not only take on the present, but also orient to the future; It is necessary to make a comparison not only within the university, but also with the same discipline of domestic and international. Discipline construction should adhere to the "four orientations", focus on the major strategic needs of the country and society, and keep up with the development of the times. Combined with the development course and present situation of management discipline, Shanlin Yang pointed out that interdisciplinary integration is not an end, but a means, an inevitable requirement of development and a rich connotation of itself. It is necessary to integrate this discipline into the common development of the main disciplines of the university actively, do a good job in disciplines combination, explore the "value depression" in the research field, play a supporting role, show the existing value and enrich the connotation of the discipline.

"As a teacher, you should have lofty ideological realm, selfless dedication, broad mind, strong sense of social responsibility, persistent pursuit of truth and profound professional level."

Shanlin Yang believes that teachers should be strict with themselves, be a model, broaden students' horizons in the process of teaching and educating people, improve students' knowledge structure, and cultivate innovative talents with "broad feelings of home and country, infinite love for the people, noble personality charm and independent thinking, broad knowledge structure and strong learning ability, lofty life dreams and the power to realize them".
