Department Description:
 
International Business School Suzhou (IBSS) at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University is growing in size and influence in pursuit of its vision to be a  leading international business school. The school is based on strong principles of internationalism, innovation, inspiration and integrity, which together ensure that we have a positive impact on society through our teaching, research and business engagement. In that pursuit, IBSS became the youngest business school to be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 2016, and again, the youngest School to receive EQUIS accreditation in 2018.

IBSS consists of five departments: Intelligent Operations and Marketing (IOM), Strategic Management and Organizations (SMO), Accounting, Finance, and Economics with over 100 faculty members and more than 5,000 students from over 60 different countries. IBSS delivers a range of undergraduate, postgraduate, MBA, PhD and Executive Education programmes across a range of business disciplines. 

The Department of IOM, which encompasses the fields of Operations Management, Marketing, Information Management, and Project Management, is set to become an independent academic unit with the beginning of the 2020/21 academic year, as a result of splitting the original Department of Management. At present, the IOM department has a strong team of around 30 academic staff, publishing in top journals, such as Journal of Operations Management (UTD), MIS Quarterly(UTD), Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (ABS 4*), European Journal of Operational Research (ABS 4), Journal of Service Research (ABS 4),  International Journal of Production Economics (ABDC A*) and among others. Members of the department teach a large number of undergraduate students in marketing, business administration, and information management and information system programmes as well as postgraduate students enrolled in the MSc Operations and Supply Chain Management, MSc Project Management, as well as MSc Management or the IMBA.
