World-class Research with Sustainable Business Impact

Aiming to be a leading international business school in Asia with regional impact and global visibility, we are prepared to engage in high quality research with sustainable business impact. While engaging in a diverse range of research projects that span across accounting, economics & finance, business strategy, management, marketing, and entrepreneurship, we plan to communicate our impactful research to the stakeholders through workshops, seminars, and conferences. In addition, by collaborating with industry partners and international academic institutions, we ensure our research addresses real-world challenges through research-driven teaching and contributes to societal advancement.

Our commitment to interdisciplinary research will be strengthened through newly developed centres in the areas of Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship, Global Finance and FinTech, and Southeast Asia Business Strategy. Our goal is to position the Business School of Hang Seng University of Hong Kong as a leading education hub in Asia and a gateway to link China businesses to the rest of the world.
