工总主席叶中贤博士指:「在过去,『香港制造 (Made in Hong Kong)』只代表在香港进行生产工序的产品,惟在制造业生态转变、香港向生产性服务业发展的趋势下,『香港制造』应被更广义理解为由港资厂商进行科研、设计、生产管理,蕴含源自香港的智能与工艺的『香港制造 (Made by Hong Kong)』多元产品。政府必须正视及长远计划如何透过本地优势产业的『再工业化』发展核心技术及培育工业人才、助『香港制造』持续成长,以推动香港工业整体借着亚洲经济起飞、制造业转型等机遇寻求下一次突破。」

The University of Hong Kong has a long history of active research on the Pearl River Delta after China’s economic reform and Open-Door Policy in 1978. Since the early 2000s, the University has been conducting policy-oriented and academic research relating to Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta (now known as the Greater Bay Area, GBA) development in a bid to inform business leaders and policymakers about the opportunities and challenges in the GBA.
On Friday, July 9, a webinar with over 200 registered participants was held to present and discuss the findings of a latest strategic public policy research project “In Search of New Economic Cooperation Models between Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area” funded by the Policy Innovation and Co-ordination Office (PICO) of the HKSAR Government.
The webinar began with welcoming remarks by Professor Richard Y.C. Wong, Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong and Mr. Benjamin Mok, Deputy Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

Mr. Benjamin Mok Kwan-yu, Deputy Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of the Hong Kong SAR Government was invited to give opening remarks.
Following the presentations on major findings of the studies and possible new economic cooperation models, nine panellists representing both the private and public sectors joined a panel discussion to exchange their views on how Hong Kong can capitalise on the opportunities brought about by the development of the GBA and proactively develop innovative policies to implement new economic cooperation models between Hong Kong and the GBA.

Congratulations to Dr. Bonnie Hayden Cheng, Associate Professor of Management and Strategy, on winning the Faculty Knowledge Exchange (KE) Award 2021 in recognition of her commitment to transforming corporate wellness into business strategy during COVID-19.
Due to the global pandemic arising in 2020, companies were suddenly faced with a crisis surrounding the mental health of their workforce: How do companies prioritize workplace wellness to support their key assets?
To address these challenges surrounding mental health and workplace wellness, Dr. Cheng designed a series of KE activities to enhance corporate wellness in companies during the pandemic, “Corporate Wellness 2.0: Enhancing Workplace Wellness during COVID-19“. These KE activities achieved significant impact in the following areas:
– Promoting corporate wellness by designing and assessing mental health and wellness initiatives
– Providing organisations with customised programmes to promote mental health and wellness, build resilience, and harness work anxiety to enhance productivity
– Championing workplace wellness during COVID-19 at the corporate (top-down) and employee (bottom-up) levels
– Advancing awareness and understanding of mental health at all levels of the corporate hierarchy, normalising conversations on mental health at work and reducing stigma
Introduced in 2011, the Faculty KE Award was established to recognise Faculty’s outstanding KE accomplishments that have made demonstrable economic, social, or cultural impacts to benefit the community, business/industry, or partner organisations.

Congratulations to Geraldi Harlan, a year 1 BBA(Acc&Fin) student and Aurell Sulaiman, a year 1 BSc(QFin) student, who have won the Championship at the Hong Kong Semi-Final of CGMA Global Business Challenge. The team, comprised of two students from our School and two other members from the Faculty of Engineering, competed in the GBC 2021 North Asia Final with the winning teams from Mainland China, Macau, Japan, Taiwan and Mongolia. They have won the Awards of Commendations and Geraldi has received the Future Business Leader Award in the North Asia Final.
The competition adopted an actual case scenario under the CIMA professional qualification and required student teams to apply and integrate their business knowledge to help solve practical problems.
The team believed that team cohesion was essential for them in winning the competition. “Teamwork is one of the essential building blocks of success in a case competition. Without it, no matter how good the content of the presentation is, the overall delivery would be adversely affected and leave a bad impression to the judges.” They also thought it’s crucial to have a strong sense of self-belief. “Although our team comprises of freshmen from the Business and Engineering Faculties, we are able to make it to the final round and stand out from the competitors who are senior students with more experiences and advanced knowledge.”
CGMA Global Business Challenge (GBC) 2021, initiated by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), is an international business competition designed to bring out the best in the young business leaders of tomorrow.
港大经管学院金融学教授Roni Michaely与犹他大学(University of Utah)的Davidson Heath及Matthew C Ringgenberg,以及迈阿密大学(University of Miami)的Daniele Macciochi开创先河,就着SRI基金对企业行为的影响进行业界首个的研究及分析。SRI基金的总体市值在过去十年间翻倍,深受投资者追捧,以贝莱德集团(BlackRock)最近推出的一款SRI基金为例,基金在上市首周便成功集资近6亿美元,因此是次的研究对投资者极具参考价值。
以「多空策略(Long Short Strategy)」提升市场效率 以ETF作为避险工具非常普遍。据彭博新闻在2017年的报导,对冲基金持有的ETF空头仓位高达1030亿美金,相比起他们持有的43亿美金多头仓位,相差近两倍之多。一般而言,市场上的卖空余额(即被卖空但未被回购的证券)越高,熊市气氛越强。但黄博士发现,拥有更多消息的投资者往往会采取一种 「做多股票,卖空ETF」的「多空策略」,运用企业消息赚取利益,同时对冲行业风险。
