Business education in applied universities is a vital component of higher education in China, primarily cultivating applied business talents. Currently, teacher training in applied universities exhibits both positive aspects and shortcomings. The positive aspects mainly include: emphasizing the enhancement of teachers' comprehensive capabilities; focusing on improving teachers' interdisciplinary learning abilities and digital application skills; demonstrating a hierarchical characteristic in teacher training; and prioritizing the enhancement of teachers' practical competencies. The shortcomings are primarily reflected in: an incomplete faculty structure; an insufficiently robust training mechanism with imprecise and inadequate pathways; the incomplete establishment of comprehensive incentive and safeguard mechanisms; and a lack of organic integration with external resources. Therefore, comprehensive measures are necessary, including: improving policy and institutional supply; strengthening research leadership and enhancing research capabilities; reinforcing practical platform development to elevate practical skills; implementing teaching capacity enhancement initiatives; and refining assessment methods.
