Institute of Business Intelligence and Innovation

History

With the rapid advancement of AI technology and the global emphasis on sustainable development, businesses and governments are actively adopting intelligent solutions to achieve carbon neutrality, enhance resource efficiency, and optimize social governance. Amid this wave of transformation, the demand for professionals with expertise in both AI technology and sustainability is rapidly increasing. In response to this trend, the Institute of Business Intelligence and Innovation received approval from the Ministry of Education on May 20, 2022 to establish a master's program for the 2023 academic year. The institute was officially founded and began enrolling students on August 1, 2023.

Mission and Development

In response to the digital technology trends driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G communication, and e-commerce development, businesses must pursue cross-disciplinary integration and service innovation. To meet these evolving demands, the Institute of Business Intelligence and Innovation has established two core competencies as its primary learning pillars:

• AI and Big Data Application Capabilities
• Sustainability and Business Model Creativity

By integrating theoretical knowledge with industry practices, the institute aims to cultivate professionals equipped with intelligent and sustainable application skills.
The institute is committed to enhancing students' expertise in data and model visualization, market research analysis, carbon footprint assessment, and IoT integration planning. Additionally, through corporate collaborations and hands-on learning opportunities, students gain direct connections to internships and employment. The program nurtures professionals for key emerging roles, including AI Data Analysts, E-Commerce Marketing Planners, Sustainability Managers, and IoT Integration Project Engineers, positioning them as future leaders in the digital and sustainable era.

Feature

1. The only institute in the country that combines Artificial Intelligence with Sustainable Management.
2. The first to pioneer two distinctive core features: "AI and Big Data Application Capabilities" and "Sustainability and Business Model Creativity."
3. The curriculum adopts a flexible learning model of "one year of coursework and one year of research," integrating interdisciplinary teaching with guidance from multiple faculty members and industry experts. This approach enhances students' practical skills and innovative thinking in the era of the intelligent revolution.
4. Industry executives are invited to teach courses, sharing industry practices and workplace competencies to help students gain a deeper understanding of industry trends and practical applications. Through professional guidance, students develop technological workplace literacy, enhance their competitiveness, and ensure a smooth transition into the workforce, expanding future career opportunities.

Curriculum Design

The curriculum is designed with a primary focus on AI and Big Data application capabilities as well as sustainability and business model innovation. It adopts a flexible "one-year coursework, one-year research" learning model, integrating multidisciplinary teaching and industry expert guidance to enhance students' practical skills and innovative thinking in the era of intelligent transformation.
The thesis research focuses on business intelligence and innovation topics. Through coursework and professional faculty mentorship, students are guided in selecting thesis topics and conducting applied research. To strengthen the practical relevance of their research, the institute implements a dual-supervisor system, where students, based on their needs, are assigned an industry advisor in addition to their academic advisor. This approach encourages students to develop their theses around industry-related issues, fostering cross-disciplinary professionals with expertise in intelligent applications and business innovation.
