Recently, the Scientific and Technological Innovation and Management Research Team from the School of Business has achieved a series of high-level results in the field of Technological Economics and Management. These research outcomes have been published in the Theory Section of Guangming Daily, Financial Innovation (Impact Factor = 7.2, CAS SSCI Q1 TOP Journal), and Habitat International (Impact Factor = 7.0, CAS SSCI Q1 TOP Journal).

In the field of macro-strategy for scientific and technological innovation, Professor Zhang Xuewen, the discipline leader, conducted in-depth research focusing on the functional positioning and coordination of national strategic scientific and technological forces in basic research. The study argues that the national strategic scientific and technological force is the main body of basic research, and its division and coordination are the key to enhancing the capability for basic research and original innovation. Currently, how the three main bodies (National Laboratories, high-level research universities, and leading technology enterprises) can coordinate efficiently and connect the chain of "scientific discovery—technological invention—industrial innovation" remains a critical challenge. The research systematically sorted out the positioning of the three bodies and proposed actionable mechanism reform plans, providing a reference for the construction of the national basic research system.

In the field of financial support for scientific and technological innovation, Professor Wang Yanfang, the academic leader, subdivided the financial sector into FinTech companies and traditional financial intermediaries and constructed an endogenous growth model with heterogeneous financial sectors. The research found that FinTech indirectly promotes technological progress by fostering the development of traditional financial intermediaries. However, an excessive efficiency gap between the two has a negative effect on technological progress. This study provides a new perspective for understanding the role of FinTech in technological advancement.

In the field of technological heterogeneity and regional technological gaps, Dr. Wang Chenchen constructed a three-stage super-efficiency slack measurement model under a common frontier. This model provides a more realistic measurement and decomposition of Ecological Total Factor Productivity (ETFP) and inter-regional technological gaps across China's cities and three major ecological functional zones. The research illustrates the transformation process of urban total factor productivity in China from "green" to "ecological" and provides an operational evaluation framework and decision-making basis for different ecological functional zones to formulate differentiated development policies.

Technological Economics and Management is a secondary discipline direction under Business Administration in the School of Business. In recent years, the School of Business has focused on discipline construction, strengthening the leading role of disciplines and the construction of talent teams. It has formed distinct research characteristics and a reasonably structured academic team in the discipline direction of Technological Economics and Management. The team currently consists of 15 members, including 4 professors, 5 associate professors, 2 "Elite" level doctors, and 1 outstanding doctor. In the past five years, the team has undertaken 4 national fund projects, 3 Ministry of Education projects, 3 Hebei Provincial Natural Science Fund projects, and over 20 Hebei Provincial Social Science Fund projects. The team has published over 20 high-level academic papers in CAS Q1 TOP journals and key journals of the National Natural Science Foundation of China's Management Department and has won 2 ministerial-level awards. The team has also hosted or co-organized over 10 high-level international and domestic academic conferences.
