The Paris School of Management (PSM) was pleased to welcome Ding Ronggui, PhD, Dean of the School of Management at Shandong University, for a high-level meeting focused on international academic collaboration and institutional partnership.
This visit represents a significant milestone in PSM’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its global academic network and fostering meaningful cooperation between leading institutions across Europe and Asia.
Academic Leadership from One of China’s Largest Universities
The School of Management (管理学院) is a prominent part of Shandong University (SDU). Shandong University is recognized as one of China’s largest, oldest, and most influential public universities, with a strong international reputation for academic excellence, research output, and global engagement. Shandong University, or SDU, is a key comprehensive university under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, boasting a long and honorable history.
The School of Management is the “economic management research base of Shandong province,” and thus is central to management research output, both in Shandong province, where it provides consulting services for government departments and enterprises, and in China as a whole.
As Dean of the School of Management at Shandong University, Professor Ding Ronggui plays a central role in shaping business and management education within an institution that educates tens of thousands of students across multiple campuses.
Global Expertise Beyond Academia
In addition to his role at Shandong University, Professor Ding serves as a Vice President of the International Project Management Association (IPMA), a globally respected organization dedicated to advancing project management standards, certification, and professional excellence worldwide.
This dual leadership, spanning higher education and international professional governance, brings a valuable real-world perspective to discussions on management education, organizational performance, and leadership development.
Building Bridges Between Europe and Asia
This visit underscores the increasing significance of cross-continental academic collaboration in addressing global business challenges. By engaging with leaders from major international universities and professional organizations, PSM continues to expand its global footprint and reinforce its role as a hub for internationally connected business education.
Conclusion
PSM looks forward to further strengthening its relationship with Professor Ding Ronggui, PhD, and Shandong University, exploring future opportunities for collaboration that support innovation, leadership development, and global impact.
