With the recent synergy of computer technology, the advancement of management science, centered on quantitative outcomes, has exhibited remarkable progress. It has emerged as the principal approach for research, ranging from national-level strategies to corporate operational choices.The formal integration of management science concepts and systemic dissemination in the nation initiated within the military domain. At the fore-front of this endeavor was General Lih Chien, former president of Chung Cheng Institute of Technology and the incumbent director of Tamkang Uni-versitys Institute of Management Science.The interview concludes with a poem that Lih wrote many years ago, reflecting on the state of the world at that time. This poem conveys his deep affection for his country and his hopes for its future. It expresses his desire to contribute his efforts to defend the nation against external threats, quell internal unrest, and protect the land and its people.Awakened from a morning dream to the vast ocean sunrise;A clear cry pierces the long sky yet arrives a beat too late.May a land for three households remain, to find its ground again;And never let the Yellow Turbans breach our coastlines.Standing upon this precarious tower, I gaze out with steady eyes;For I refuse to bow in disgrace for fleeting honors or peace.Soaring high, I rise with wings that touch the clouds;Counting the days till the returning wild goose completes its thousand-mile journey.54'
