Business,
Hong Kong Baptist University
(HKBU)
HKBU is committed to a distinctive mission of higher education
which incorporates teaching, research and service, and which
inculcates in all who participate, a sense of value that extends
beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge. The University seeks to
foster and to achieve excellence, intellectual freedom, and the
highest of ethical standards. These commitments have evolved from
the University's heritage of Christian higher education within a
Chinese cultural setting. As a result of this tradition, the
University is committed to creating and maintaining an environment
that develops and sustains the whole person in all these educational
endeavours. A broad range of postgraduate and undergraduate honours
degree programmes are offered under nine Faculties/Schools in Arts,
Business, Chinese Medicine, Communication, Continuing Education,
Science, Social Sciences, Visual Arts and Graduate School. The
full-time student enrolment in 2006/07 reached over 7500, HKBU has
been offering quality business and management programmes since the
institution was established in 1956. The School of Business has been
a pathfinder and leader in business education in Hong Kong and Asia.
Over the years, our activities and achievements have been widely
recognized both locally and internationally.

David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI)
LEWI is affiliated with HKBU, a government funded university with a Christian heritage. It aims at fostering research in East-West studies and cultivating collaborative scholarship between the East and the West. As the pace of globalisation intensifies and inter-cultural, inter-ethnic and inter-religious encounters accelerate, the work of LEWI has manifested itself in a significant manner in recent years. With Hong Kong as its base, LEWI aspires to become a global leader in multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural studies through constant academic interactions with universities worldwide. LEWI's network not only covers the Pacific Rim region, but also countries in the West, thereby enabling communications across the continents.
In view of the above objectives, the Institute has established research programmes on three continents: the Western Pacific Rim-China Research Programme at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia; the North America-China Research Programme at Simon Fraser University, Canada; and the Europe-China Research Programme at Hong Kong Baptist University. Reporting to the Board of Governors, which consists of all full members and representative associate members, these three research programmes assist in networking among members and augmenting initiatives taken in Hong Kong.
