In the early days of the establishment of the Department of Systems Engineering in the late 1970s, Information Management and Information System were regarded as one of the main directions of research and teaching, which accumulated valuable research and teaching experience for the establishment of the Department and formed a reasonably structured professional team. In 1992, the Department was merged to form the School of System Science and System Engineering, with Information Management and Information System as the main training direction. In 1998, the discipline of Management Science and Engineering, together with the disciplines of Fudan University, Jiaotong University and Tongji University, was one of the first disciplines in Shanghai to receive a first-level doctoral program. In 2000, the major of Information Management and Information System began to recruit students, and established the Institute of Information Management. In 2003, it was approved as a first-level post-doctoral mobile station, which is the fourth post-doctoral mobile station of this name in Shanghai after Fudan University, Jiaotong University and Tongji University. In 2020, the department of Information Management and Information System and other departments undertook the construction and teaching of the undergraduate specialty of artificial intelligence. Over the years, the Department has made remarkable achievements in teaching and research. The Department has undertaken and completed several national, provincial and municipal major research projects and won a number of relevant national, provincial and municipal awards. The Department has also successfully organized several competitions in the Shanghai Division of the National E-commerce Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship Challenge for College Students, and published more than 100 textbooks related to e-commerce, information management and information system, artificial intelligence, big data and operations research.
