Beijing Technology and Business University (北京工商大学, website) is a key multi-disciplinary university in Beijing. Approved by the Ministry of Education in June 1999, it was merged by Beijing Institute of Light Industry and Beijing Business School, and merged into the Machinery Industry Management College. Beijing Business School is affiliated to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Internal Trade, formerly the All-China Supply and Marketing Cooperative Leadership School and the Central Business Cadre School. The All-China Supply and Marketing Cooperative Cadre School was established in the early 1950s, and the Central Business Cadre School was established in 1953. In 1958, the All-China Supply and Marketing Cooperative Cadre School was merged into the Central Business Cadre School.

Beijing Business School is one of the earliest colleges and universities specialized in cultivating economic management talents after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It is the first batch of national master’s degree granting units approved by the State Council. Beijing Institute of Light Industry, founded in 1958, is the earliest light industry college in China. It moved to Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province in 1970, and was rebuilt at the original site in Beijing in 1978 with the approval of the State Council. It has been affiliated with the Ministry of Light Industry and the China Light Industry Association, and mainly trains senior professionals for the light industry. The Mechanical Industry Management Cadre College was established in 1982 and is affiliated to the Ministry of Machinery Industry. It mainly trains management cadres for the machinery industry. So far, the school has trained more than 100,000 professionals at all levels for the country.
Since 2004, Beijing Technology and Business University and Central University of Finance and Economics have jointly recruited and trained doctoral students in accounting. In June 2007, the school received an evaluation of the undergraduate teaching work level of the general colleges and universities in the country.
