Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global economic digital transformation and the in-depth advancement of the "Digital China" strategy, higher business education is confronted with the core dilemma of "disconnection between education and industry"—a mismatch between talent cultivation and industrial demands. This study takes the Business School of University C as the research object and adopts the case object and adopts the case study method to systematically deconstruct the practical background, implementation paths, and effectiveness mechanism of its industry-education integration. The findings indicate that the School has constructed a three-dimensional integrated practical system of "strategic guidance-cooperative innovation-resource integration," forming distinctive experiences in dimensions such as the innovation of strategic guidance mechanisms, the reform of talent cultivation models, and the construction of university-enterprise collaborative platforms. This system has effectively realized the in-depth coupling of the educational chain, talent chain, industrial chain, and innovation chain. The conclusions of this study not only provide a replicable practical paradigm for industry-education integration in business colleges and universities under the background of the New Liberal Arts but also enrich the theoretical system of industry-education integration in higher education from a micro perspective, offering empirical references for resolving the disconnection between business education and industrial development.
