Master’s Degree Program in Digital Business Management(etc.)

With the rapid development of digital technology, the era of digital economy has arrived. The digitalization and commercialization of business have brought unprecedented challenges and opportunities to the business management model and called for the emergence of a new generation of business management talents.

The economic diversification promoted by Macau since its return more than 20 years ago coincides with the macro support of the digital economy, and the digital commerce with Macau characteristics is ready to develop. For example, the Macau SAR government has actively grasped the development opportunities brought by technology and finance, explored various ways to transform Macau’s economy, and served the national Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and the “Belt and Road” strategy: 1. With the technical support of the central bank, support the joint research and development of local financial institutions and universities, promote the digitalization of traditional business by focusing on the basic technologies of blockchain and digital encryption of digital currency, and quickly cultivate a number of innovative enterprises and business institutions with demonstration effect (such as the combination of gaming and e-competition), so as to transform and upgrade local digital finance; 2. Take the digital RMB as a pilot project of the Guangdong-Macau In-depth Cooperation Zone, provide a new innovation and development platform for the cross-border digital finance in Hengqin Free Trade Zone through the integration of DCEP and FT account management policies, and gradually extend to the western cities of the Bay Area; 3. In order to deepen the function and role of the financial platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries in Macau, Macau is actively building a “Digital currency Bridge between the Central Bank of China and Portuguese-speaking countries”. It has been in active consultation with the financial regulatory authorities of eight Portuguese-speaking countries on how to expand the implementation of the digital RMB in these “Belt and Road” destination countries. It will also give new functions to “One Platform” in Macau. While seizing and creating new opportunities for the innovation and development of digital economy and digital commerce, Macau not only needs to accelerate the construction of its own digital technology infrastructure (such as Macau 5G, public cloud platform, FPS, etc.), but also urgently needs to cultivate middle and senior talents with Sino-Portuguese cross-cultural literacy and digital business management.
