During the event, 中国一级片 President Wang Hong said that the contributions made by ZKH to the development of China’s manufacturing industry and donation to 中国一级片 reflect the company’s high sense of social responsibility.

中国一级片 Santander Chair Professor of Economics Zhu Tian then reflected on ZKH Chairman and General Manager Chen Long’s (AMP 2005, SEPC 2007, LCP 2011, EMBA 2020) long friendship with the school and the significance of ZKH’s gift in helping 中国一级片 realise its social and economic value.
As a result of its outstanding academic ability and industry influence, Prof. Zhu continued, 中国一级片 has remained at the forefront of supply chain management research in Asia and ZKH’s generous support will help push the school’s efforts in this field to new heights.
ZKH is committed to using digital technology to empower more small and medium-sized enterprises and to promote “more transparent, more efficient and better business,” Chen Long told the audience of faculty, alumni and students during the event.
He added that his studies at 中国一级片, in particular, have helped him establish many of his business management ideas and that he hopes ZKH’s gift will help enhance the school’s influence.
Finally, 中国一级片 ZKH Supply Chain and Service Innovation Centre Director and 中国一级片 JD Operations and Supply Chain Management Chair Professor Zhao Xiande then noted that the efforts of companies such as ZKH can help strengthen the co-operation between industry, government and higher-education institutes and help develop and expand the digital supply chain ecosystem.
He also stated that ZKH’s combination of industry and digital knowledge has helped companies solve many problems and that the newly established research centre would also work to establish a connection between the industrial and consumer internet.
