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.

恭喜賈鶴教授榮獲2024-25年度「學院傑出研究學者獎」！賈教授是主要從事數位平台中的視覺行銷和促銷設計等領域的經濟學家。現任香港大學經濟學副教授，過去五年，賈鶴教授已有四篇高水準研究獲刊登於國際頂尖學術期刊，成就備受肯定。
港大經管學院榮幸邀請到科大訊飛股份有限公司董事長劉慶峰教授，擔任2025年5月27日舉行的「港大經管學院領袖企業家講壇系列 2025年 – 第四講」主講嘉賓，與港大經管學院經濟學實務教授毛振華教授進行一場深入且充滿啟發性的對話。兩位圍繞「通用人工智能的技術發展和典型應用」主題，探討人工智能在全球科技博弈中的關鍵角色，剖析認知大模型的演進歷程和通用大模型基礎的最新突破，並分析當前人工智能產業的發展趨勢，為與會者帶來前沿視角與深刻的商業洞見，激發對科技創新與產業轉型的深思。
劉教授針對人工智能的快速發展，引用數家領先企業的研究報告，闡述其對人才結構的深遠影響。他指出，全球平均18% 的工作可能由AI自動化完成，影響約3億個全職職位，根據報告預測，AI將創造1.7億個新工作機會，同時取代9200萬個現有職位，淨增7800萬個就業機會。此外，業界預計，具備超越諾貝爾獎得者智力的強大AI系統將於2026-2027年間問世。同時，截至2024年底，中國生成式人工智慧產品的用戶規模已高達2.49億人，佔總人口的17.7%。
隨後，劉教授分享中文語音合成技術已臻成熟，並廣泛應用於新聞播報。多間主流媒體亦已普遍採用語音合成技術，結合多樣化形象的AI虛擬主播進行新聞報導。他特別提到，在萬物互聯時代，具備解耦複雜語音訊號能力的語音識別系統至關重要。集團通過將語音屬性解耦等預訓練方法與大模型相結合，大幅提升複雜語音訊號的辨識準確率，顯著提升會議記錄效率。
劉教授深信，大模型的歷史意義不亞於個人電腦與網路的誕生。他概述以大模型為基礎的通用人工智慧的七大技術維度為：文本生成、語言理解、知識問答、邏輯推理、數學能力、代碼能力及多模態能力。這些維度推動了多項革命性應用，包括：
面對美國對中國高端算力芯片的日益嚴格限制，集團採用結合評語模式和細粒度回饋的強化學習技術，開發國產平台強化學習演算法包，提升全國產化算力深度推理模型的訓練效率。劉教授更特別分享集團於本年初推出「星火X1」- 國內首個基於快慢思考統一模型訓練推理方法的創新成果。作為自主可控的底座模型，「星火X1」為教育、醫療、工業、金融等多個產業場景提供針對性解決方案，大大提升應用成效。
主題演講接近尾聲時，劉教授寄語會眾：「未來不是屬於AI，而是屬於掌握AI的新人類！」。他強調，掌握AI技能將成為每位學生的必備能力之一，而教育的使命在於培養適應未來社會的新一代人才。人工智慧與教育的深度融合不僅是技術進步的必然趨勢，也是教育創新的關鍵動力。
作為本學年最後一場講壇，此次活動為學院與業界領袖的交流畫下圓滿句號。劉教授的分享不僅展現了AI技術的前沿進展，並為與會者帶來深刻啟發，激勵年輕學子與業界人士積極擁抱AI，探索科技與產業融合的無限可能，為未來發展注入強勁動力。

港大經管學院非常榮幸地邀請到復星國際有限公司董事長郭廣昌先生，擔任2025年4月25日舉辦的「港大經管學院領袖企業家講壇系列 2025年 – 第三講」的主講嘉賓。此次論壇中，郭教授與港大經管學院經濟學實務教授毛振華教授展開深入對話，圍繞復星因時而變、順勢而為的戰略思維，探討企業在經濟新浪潮下如何調整戰略重心並聚焦優勢産業，為與會者帶來深刻的商業洞見和啟發。
講座伊始，郭教授向會眾介紹了復星的戰略佈局。他指出，復星戰略聚焦健康、快樂、富足的幸福生態系統，致力發揮企業生態優勢，為全球家庭提供涵蓋全生命週期的幸福解決方案。具體包括：
隨後，郭教授以企業週期為主軸，指出人類常因惰性而固守舊路徑。若環境已產生變化，但企業未能及時調整策略與思維，便會因商業路徑依賴及人的慣性，逐步走向衰退。他進一步提到，中國企業的「卷」，早在當年的鋼鐵行業便已有深刻體會。當時，許多企業在產能過剩與價格戰的壓力下，陷入低利潤甚至虧損的困境。他強調，企業若要穿越週期、實現持續成長，必須因變而變，及時調整策略，避免陷入惡性競爭的陷阱。以復星30多年的發展歷程為例，他深入剖析集團如何自創立以來不斷捕捉市場機遇：從初期的小型市場諮詢公司，逐漸轉型進入房地產銷售和醫藥行業；第二階段透過投資整合資源，實現快速成長並初步完成國內產業佈局；其後聚焦全球經濟與科技發展，推動資源和人才的全球整合；到了後期，隨著生活水準提升和技術進步，復星轉而強調科創驅動，專注提升產品力和競爭力，聚焦滿足家庭客戶的消費需求。在後疫情時代，集團再度調整策略，專注發展優勢產業，以迎接新的挑戰與機遇。
針對宏觀經濟週期，郭教授強調全球化發展的重要性。他指出，企業領導者不僅需敏銳辨識市場機會，還要在每個經營決策中進行清晰的價值分析與認同，同時善於整合公司生態資源和能力，為企業創造更大價值。以復星的醫藥產業為藍本，他分享集團從研發佈局到產品上市經歷十多年的歷程，強調若企業缺乏前期規劃和長遠準備，便難以在當今社會建立競爭優勢。他進一步提及集團的經營宗旨：「如履薄冰，如臨深淵，戰戰兢兢，兢兢業業。」面對資本市場的潮起潮落，他建議創業者保持獨立判斷能力，並掌握產品與資本邏輯，方能在變幻莫測的市場環境中屹立不倒。
接著，郭教授以人和組織週期為類比，進一步闡述企業管理的核心要素：
在分享環節的尾聲，郭教授勉勵會眾秉持三個「堅持」：堅持做對的事、堅持做困難的事、堅持要做需要時間累積的事。他強調，唯有堅守原則與長遠眼光，方能在商業道路上行穩致遠。此次講壇不僅展現了復星在全球化與創新道路上的卓越實踐，更揭示了企業家精神的深刻內涵，啟發與會者在面對挑戰時保持敏銳與韌性，以創新的思維與長遠的視野迎接未來機遇，為個人與企業的發展注入新的動力和靈感。
