The Sun Yun-Suan Educational Foundation has continued its collaboration with the College of Construction and Development at Feng Chia University to host the Sun Yun-Suan Lecture Series, inviting distinguished leaders with extensive experience across academia, government, and industry to share practical insights and perspectives. Since its launch in 2025, the lecture series has entered its second year, gradually establishing itself as a distinctive platform that combines academic depth with real-world applications.
This year’s featured speakers were Maw Tze-Chung, former Premier of Taiwan and Professor Emeritus at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and Chang Chia-Juch, former Minister of Economic Affairs and former chairperson of several major corporations, currently serving as Chairperson of the Taipei Transportation and Education Foundation. With distinguished careers spanning academic research, public administration, and corporate leadership, both speakers are widely recognized for their interdisciplinary expertise and strategic vision.
Feng Chia University’s Sun Yun-Suan Lecture Series has entered its second year, inviting experts from academia, government, and industry each semester to share valuable practical experience with faculty members and students.
Professor Maw Tze-Chung focused his lectures on strategic thinking and management philosophy. Drawing upon the concept of the relationship between cause, conditions, and outcomes, as well as modern interpretations of The Art of War, he explained the dynamic interaction among decision-making, environmental factors, execution, and results. He proposed that organizations should be viewed as self-organizing systems, emphasizing that leaders must understand environmental changes and systemic trends in order to enhance governance effectiveness through the principle of “leveraging momentum rather than force.” His insights provided students with valuable analytical frameworks for navigating uncertainty and complexity.
Former Premier Maw Tze-Chung delivered a lecture on May 9 titled “The Art of War: Victory Depends on Strategy, Not Strength.” Dean Chao-Ming Su of the College of Construction and Development presented him with a certificate of appreciation.
Professor Chang Chia-Juch approached the topic from the perspectives of organizational leadership and corporate governance. Through two keynote lectures, he explored essential governance principles. Discussing leadership, he highlighted five core qualities—integrity, inclusiveness, discipline, talent utilization, and observation—as key attributes for effective leaders. In the area of governance, he drew on his extensive experience in both the public and private sectors to explain corporate law, governance structures, the division of responsibilities between boards of directors and management teams, and the importance of independent directors. He also stressed that while businesses pursue profitability, they must simultaneously fulfill their social responsibilities.
Chang Chia-Juch, Chairperson of the Taipei Transportation and Education Foundation, delivered a lecture on April 18 titled “Corporate Governance and Regulatory Compliance.” Dean Chao-Ming Su presented him with a certificate of appreciation.
Faculty members and students from the College of Construction and Development actively participated in the lecture series, engaging in discussions and question-and-answer sessions that deepened their understanding of strategic management, public governance, and corporate leadership. The College noted that it will continue to develop the Sun Yun-Suan Lecture Series by focusing on critical issues such as smart city development, industrial transformation, and governance innovation. By inviting globally influential academics and industry leaders, the program aims to enrich its curriculum, broaden students’ international perspectives, and cultivate future professionals equipped with both expertise and a strong sense of social responsibility.
