Abstract

Digitalization and intelligentization have become the core forces driving China's leapfrog development in science and technology, optimization and upgrading of industry and social governance, and overall enhancement of productivity. According to the 2023 Report on Research and Development of Industrial Digital Talent, China's current digital talent gap has reached 25-30 million, a deficit that continues to expand. In stark contrast, traditional management majors face structural challenges—inadequate cultivation of digital literacy, with knowledge, skills, and theoretical frameworks lagging behind era demands. As the primary base for talent cultivation, universities urgently need to undertake reality-grounded digital-intelligent transformation of their programs. This will both enhance quality and efficiency in new liberal arts development and supply society with digitally-capable interdisciplinary talent. Accordingly, this study integrates contemporary context and policy orientation, proceeds from the fundamental laws of talent cultivation and essential requirements of the education system, and systematically promotes optimization and upgrading of talent training models across key dimensions including top-level design, curriculum modules, and teaching resources.
