Abstract

This study explores the unique risk challenges faced by Chinese Private Colleges and investigates how Hypercycle Theory can be applied to enhance their risk management and internal control systems. The research employs qualitative methods to assess the current risk management practices and internal control mechanisms within these institutions. The study finds that private colleges in China face multiple risks, including financial instability, economic uncertainty, and market challenges, which are exacerbated by weaknesses in their existing risk management frameworks. The introduction of Hypercycle Theory, with its dynamic feedback and self-regulation features, offers a promising solution for optimizing risk management and improving internal controls. Key findings suggest that the application of this theory can help institutions respond to risks more dynamically, improve resource utilization, and enhance management efficiency. In conclusion, Hypercycle Theory provides a robust theoretical framework for strengthening the risk management capabilities and long-term sustainability of Chinese Private Colleges.
