HKBU was represented at the UN Global Forum for Responsible Management Education and the AACSB Sustainability Conference
Both events were represented by international business schools in recognition of the importance that business schools need to be the change agent and to instill the importance of corporate social responsibility in order to nurture the next generation of leaders. Economic gain is no longer a solitary end in the hearts and minds of the globe's six billion people. Business must emphasise societal and environmental value just as much as its commitment to shareholder return. >More

DBA Working Paper Series
To facilitate dissemination of research outcomes and encourage research efforts, the School of Business has launched the “DBA Working Paper Series”. This Series includes selected works from the coursework assignments and papers of students in instances related to DBA studies. The first DBA working paper (DBA-WP 10001) was co-written by Elizabeth Tsui, Savini Ma and Joseph Lee, students of the DBA 2008-09 cohort. This paper was developed from a group project for the DBA course “Qualitative Approaches to Research”. More works of our students will be reviewed and selected to be included the Series. Readers’ comments are welcomed.
