“AI-adaptor is not enough; AI-native thinking is essential now.” This message, shared during the SSRC Advisory Committee Meeting on 18 May 2026, captured more than a curriculum update, which signaled a wider shift in how the School of Business of HSUHK is preparing students, faculty, and industry partners to respond to a business environment shaped by volatility, technological disruption, and changing workforce needs.
At the meeting, Professor Sam PARK described the School of Business as entering a new stage of transformation, with expanded faculty recruitment, stronger industry integration, and a renewed commitment to equipping students with practical and future-facing capabilities. His remarks framed the discussion as a call to build a business school that can move faster, think more natively in AI, and stay closer to real market demands.

That direction was reinforced by Sir Raymond FU, who presented the SSRC Strategic Roadmap 2026-2028 and grouped external advisors into different clusters spanning consumer sectors, professional services, technology, ESG, NGOs, and human capital. The roadmap sets out an ambition to elevate SSRC as a hub for SME intelligence, sustainability, and talent development, supported by phased initiatives including advisor appointments, an ESG Business Census, consultancy projects, corporate visits, internship schemes, and major data-driven reports.
