Center for Service Innovation and Mobility Design (SIMD)
About SIMD Center
As countries around the world converge toward “Service Economy, Information technology integrates toward “Mobile Cloud Computing”, in the imminent future, we are confronted with rapid evolving mobile technologies, humanity-based service design, energy conservation trend, and insurmountable innovative opportunities. Engineering and Natural Science fields in the past are expert in fundamental research development and the exploration and application of hard core technologies while Business Management and Social Science fields focus on cultivating and structuring of soft power. Each field has its own expertise and specialization. Feng Chia University specifically establishes the “Center for Service Innovation and Mobility Design” to zoom in from four aspects: Service,
Innovation, Mobility, and Design to foster an all-inclusive link between the balance beam scale of engineering and management fields, committed to merge science with humanities. The center will utilize Service Innovation as research niche to deepen academic research and combine industry and academia collaboration mechanism to theorize and patent research findings; further progress to rigorous service design model with practical application to achieve commercialization goals. The center promotes academic scholars to have not only academic dissertation ability, but also the actions of social concerns.
