The Lee Kong Chian School of Business is the business school of the Singapore Management University (SMU). Established in 2000, the school was the first to be established under the Singapore Management University's charter. It is a research-driven school, with a blend of education that focuses on academic research and industrial relevance. Faculty are hired on the basis of research or on perceived expertise in their field of study or practice. The current dean is Professor Bert De Reyck.[1]
The school was named after Lee Kong Chian after receiving a donation of S$50 million from The Lee Foundation, a trust established by Lee and administered by Lee's children. This amount was matched by the Government of Singapore in a 3-to-1 ratio, thus resulting in a S$200 million funding.
