  In order to break down the barriers between schools and society, so that classroom teaching can be effective and students can learn something, Li Qigeng, associate professor of the Department of Business Administration, School of Economics and Management, Taiyuan University of Technology, proposed opening a "second classroom" in enterprises.

  After visiting the company's production workshop, the students felt the craftsmanship of Geely Automobile in creating high-quality models. They asked questions on the company's strategic layout, talent promotion, production management and other aspects.

  "In the face of rival BYD's 'first shot' of price cuts for new energy vehicles and Xiaomi's strong entry into the new energy vehicle industry, how does Geely Automobile plan its strategic layout?" the student asked.

  Cui Chao, director of the General Manager Office of Geely Automobile Jinzhong Company, explained that Geely Automobile, as the earliest private enterprise involved in the field of methanol vehicles, has the full-chain system capabilities of R&D, manufacturing and sales of methanol vehicles, and has strong technical advantages. If you want to win the market, you must rely on products and services and fight a value war."

  Regarding talent training, Cui Chao said that most of the company's management teams start from grassroots workers, and outstanding blue-collar workers will be promoted quickly. Cultivating endogenous talents is crucial to the development of the company.

  The answers from the company leaders triggered students to think more about technological innovation, career planning, etc.

  Talking about the original intention of opening the "Second Classroom" this time, the leading teacher Li Qigeng said that the training directions of MBA graduate students and full-time graduate students are different. School-enterprise linkage can make students have a broader vision and more active thinking. "I hope to create a More 'second classroom'". (over)
