Faculty Development

Overseas training for instructors
The Sinyi School plans to offer overseas in-service training opportunities to one faculty of the NCCU College of Commerce each semester at top business schools. After completing training, this faculty having an ideal and interest in business ethics and sustainable business can absorb elements in such fields from overseas instructor training programs and seminars to develop courses, teaching materials, and cases on business ethics and sustainable business suitable for local enterprises and local application. The main goal is to offer at least one course relating to business ethics and sustainable business in each department and teaching unit of the NCCU College of Commerce. In addition, by setting this course as a required course, we aim to equip every graduate of the NCCU College of Commerce with the knowledge and attitude of business ethics and sustainable business.
 
Seminar & Workshop for Business Ethics Education
Today, as business ethics has become a required course of world leading business schools, much experience and considerable achievements have been accumulated in terms of course contents and teaching material design. In Taiwan, although business ethics education has been promoted progressively in recent years, many course teachers are facing many challenges. Research found that there is much space for improvement in business ethics education in both quality and quantity terms in the absence of related training for most course teachers and related teaching materials. In view of the teachers’ challenges in developing business ethics courses in Taiwan, the Sinyi School began to organized workshops for business ethics education in 2015 to help teachers across Taiwan to optimize course contents and improve teaching quality.
 
Teaching Materials for Business Ethics and Sustainability Management
Since its establishment, the Sinyi School has been committed to developing courses, teaching materials, and cases on business ethics and sustainable business suitable for domestic enterprises and local application with elements in this field absorbed from overseas instructor training programs and seminars. The Sinyi School also collects domestic and foreign articles database relating to business ethics for instructors to use in class.
