HKBU Business Power Lunch

The School of Business pursues being a centre of excellence for business research in selected strategic areas. The adoption of corporate sustainability as the School’s strategic niche area makes it distinctive. This builds on its success in incorporating business ethics, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility into its research. As proof of its commitment to these areas, the School was the first in Hong Kong to become a signatory to the UN’s Principles for Responsible Management Education, which aims to realise the UN Sustainable Development Goals through management education, research and thought leadership. The 2019 EQUIS accreditation report also recognised the School’s corporate sustainability strategy. 

 

Apart from building capacity in its existing research foci, the School will continue to articulate the University’s strategy to meet the pressing needs of this fast-changing business world. First, it strives to broaden and deepen research training. It was the first faculty to move towards a four-year PhD Programme, with new elements including a comprehensive examination and an overseas research attachment. Second, it seeks to develop global research collaborations through institutional partnerships. This was put into practice by setting up a Joint PhD Programme with the University of Groningen and conducting the 2019 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Pay and Benefits Survey with the South China University of Technology.
