The SBM was approved the first-level discipline to award the doctoral degree of Business Management. The doctoral program has four research directions: consumer behavior and neural decision-making, information management and digital marketing, corporate strategy and cross-cultural management, financial technology and corporate finance.

The course structure of the SBM is based on the construction model of mainstream international business schools such as Wharton. It has gradually introduced talents from world-class universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Cambridge, and has established a team of outstanding educators led by Changjiang scholars, scholars from “the Thousand Talents Plan“, Eastern Scholars (The Program for Professor of Special Appointment at Shanghai Institutions of Higher Learning) and chief experts on Major Projects of National Sciences Fund. Together as one, the school faculty will jointly bring disciplines to a higher ground and establish a well-designed cultivation system in line with the national strategy.
