On June 6 2025, the final round of the HSBC/HKU Asia Pacific Business Case Competition 2025 was held, reaffirming its position as the world’s largest and best business case competition globally. Organised by HKU Business School’s Asia Case Research Centre (ACRC), together with HSBC, the competition concluded at HSBC’s main building in Hong Kong. Throughout the competition week, 24 teams from 20 nations did their best to come out ahead.
The team from RMIT University (Vietnam) won the championship title, exhibiting exceptional analytical and presentation skills. University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands) secured 1st Runner Up, and Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University’s (Japan) team won 2nd Runner Up. The 3rd Runner Up went to The University of Auckland (New Zealand). Teams competed in four rounds, tackling opportunities and challenges facing leading enterprises from across the region.
This year’s final case challenge required students to design a procurement framework aimed at enhancing diversity within HSBC’s supply chain in Asia, specifically promoting the inclusion of underrepresented groups in procurement processes. The competition also introduced an innovative “Boardroom Challenge,” where teams had to propose initiatives to attract visitors from their respective home markets to Hong Kong, demonstrating their ability to integrate cultural insights into market-driven strategies.
Beyond competitive engagement, students participated in experiential learning through interaction with local NGOs, deepening their understanding of socioeconomic barriers to inclusion. These activities enriched their perspectives on corporate social responsibility and ethical leadership.
Professor Hongbin Cai, Dean of HKU Business School, emphasised the competition’s enduring impact, saying: “This event continues to nurture the next generation of business leaders, equipping them with the intellectual agility and problem-solving capabilities necessary for addressing global challenges.”
Through its longstanding partnership with HSBC, HKU Business School remains committed to fostering innovative thinking, practical business education, and international collaboration.

恭喜贾鹤教授荣获2024-25年度「学院杰出研究学者奖」！贾教授是主要从事数字平台中的视觉营销和促销设计等领域的经济学家。现任香港大学经济学副教授，过去五年，贾鹤教授已有四篇高水准研究获刊登于国际顶尖学术期刊，成就备受肯定。
港大经管学院荣幸地邀请到科大讯飞股份有限公司董事长刘庆峰教授，担任2025年5月27日举行的“港大经管学院领袖企业家讲坛系列 2025年 – 第四讲”主讲嘉宾，与港大经管学院经济学实务教授毛振华教授进行一场深入且充满启发性的对话。两位围绕“通用人工智能的技术发展和典型应用”主题，探讨人工智能在全球科技博弈中的关键角色，剖析认知大模型的演进历程和通用大模型基础的最新突破，并分析当前人工智能产业的发展趋势，为与会者带来前沿视角与深刻的商业洞见，激发对科技创新与产业转型的深思。
刘教授针对人工智能的快速发展，引用数家领先企业的研究报告，阐述其对人才结构的深远影响。他指出，全球平均18% 的工作可能由AI自动化完成，影响约3亿个全职职位，根据报告预测，AI将创造1.7亿个新工作机会，同时取代9200万个现有职位，净增7800万个就业机会。此外，业界预计，具备超越诺贝尔奖得者智力的强大AI系统将于2026-2027年间问世。同时，截至2024年底，中国生成式人工智能产品的用户规模已高达2.49亿人，占总人口的17.7%。
随后，刘教授分享中文语音合成技术已臻成熟，并广泛应用于新闻播报。多间主流媒体亦已普遍采用语音合成技术，结合多样化形象的AI虚拟主播进行新闻报导。他特别提到，在万物互联时代，具备解耦复杂语音讯号能力的语音识别系统至关重要。集团通过将语音属性解耦等预训练方法与大模型相结合，大幅提升复杂语音讯号的辨识准确率，显著提升会议记录效率。
刘教授深信，大模型的历史意义不亚于个人计算机与网络的诞生。他概述以大模型为基础的通用人工智能的七大技术维度为：文本生成、语言理解、知识问答、逻辑推理、数学能力、代码能力及多模态能力。这些维度推动了多项革命性应用，包括：
面对美国对中国高端算力芯片的日益严格限制，集团采用结合评语模式和细粒度回馈的强化学习技术，开发国产平台强化学习算法包，提升全国产化算力深度推理模型的训练效率。刘教授更特别分享集团于本年初推出“星火X1”- 国内首个基于快慢思考统一模型训练推理方法的创新成果。作为自主可控的底座模型，“星火X1”为教育、医疗、工业、金融等多个产业场景提供针对性解决方案，大大提升应用成效。
主题演讲接近尾声时，刘教授寄语会众：“未来不是属于AI，而是属于掌握AI的新人类！”。他强调，掌握AI技能将成为每位学生的必备能力之一，而教育的使命在于培养适应未来社会的新一代人才。人工智能与教育的深度融合不仅是技术进步的必然趋势，也是教育创新的关键动力。
作为本学年最后一场讲坛，此次活动为学院与业界领袖的交流画下圆满句号。刘教授的分享不仅展现了AI技术的前沿进展，并为与会者带来深刻启发，激励年轻学子与业界人士积极拥抱AI，探索科技与产业融合的无限可能，为未来发展注入强劲动力。

港大经管学院非常荣幸地邀请到复星国际有限公司董事长郭广昌先生，担任2025年4月25日举办的「港大经管学院领袖企业家讲坛系列 2025年 – 第三讲」的主讲嘉宾。此次论坛中，郭教授与港大经管学院经济学实务教授毛振华教授展开深入对话，围绕复星因时而变、顺势而为的战略思维，探讨企业在经济新浪潮下如何调整战略重心并聚焦优势产业，为与会者带来深刻的商业洞见和启发。
讲座伊始，郭教授向会众介绍了复星的战略布局。他指出，复星战略聚焦健康、快乐、富足的幸福生态系统，致力发挥企业生态优势，为全球家庭提供涵盖全生命周期的幸福解决方案。具体包括：
随后，郭教授以企业周期为主轴，指出人类常因惰性而固守旧路径。若环境已产生变化，但企业未能及时调整策略与思维，便会因商业路径依赖及人的惯性，逐步走向衰退。他进一步提到，中国企业的「卷」，早在当年的钢铁行业便已有深刻体会。当时，许多企业在产能过剩与价格战的压力下，陷入低利润甚至亏损的困境。他强调，企业若要穿越周期、实现持续成长，必须因变而变，及时调整策略，避免陷入恶性竞争的陷阱。以复星30多年的发展历程为例，他深入剖析集团如何自创立以来不断捕捉市场机遇：从初期的小型市场咨询公司，逐渐转型进入房地产销售和医药行业；第二阶段透过投资整合资源，实现快速成长并初步完成国内产业布局；其后聚焦全球经济与科技发展，推动资源和人才的全球整合；到了后期，随着生活水准提升和技术进步，复星转而强调科创驱动，专注提升产品力和竞争力，聚焦满足家庭客户的消费需求。在后疫情时代，集团再度调整策略，专注发展优势产业，以迎接新的挑战与机遇。
针对宏观经济周期，郭教授强调全球化发展的重要性。他指出，企业领导者不仅需敏锐辨识市场机会，还要在每个经营决策中进行清晰的价值分析与认同，同时善于整合公司生态资源和能力，为企业创造更大价值。以复星的医药产业为蓝本，他分享集团从研发布局到产品上市经历十多年的历程，强调若企业缺乏前期规划和长远准备，便难以在当今社会建立竞争优势。他进一步提及集团的经营宗旨：「如履薄冰，如临深渊，战战兢兢，兢兢业业。」面对资本市场的潮起潮落，他建议创业者保持独立判断能力，并掌握产品与资本逻辑，方能在变幻莫测的市场环境中屹立不倒。
接着，郭教授以人和组织周期为类比，进一步阐述企业管理的核心要素：
在分享环节的尾声，郭教授勉励会众秉持三个「坚持」：坚持做对的事、坚持做困难的事、坚持要做需要时间累积的事。他强调，唯有坚守原则与长远眼光，方能在商业道路上行稳致远。此次讲坛不仅展现了复星在全球化与创新道路上的卓越实践，更揭示了企业家精神的深刻内涵，启发与会者在面对挑战时保持敏锐与韧性，以创新的思维与长远的视野迎接未来机遇，为个人与企业的发展注入新的动力和灵感。
