Congratulations to Professor Jingcun Cao on being awarded the Faculty Knowledge Exchange Award 2025!
Professor Jingcun Cao is a rising young scholar in the field of Marketing. He has been conducting research on the mobile application ecosystem since 2019, with two academic papers published and two working papers currently under review at top-tier business journals. Beyond pursuing research excellence, he has been keenly devoted to Knowledge Exchange activities which made a profound impact on the governance and quality of the mobile applications ecosystem.
His research findings have been successfully translated into practical tools to respond to societal and policy needs, including improving the quality of digital products, promoting fair competition, and enhancing digital governance. In particular, his development of patented deep learning algorithms has been adopted by leading platforms such as Vipshop (an online discount retailer for brands in China), Qimai Technology (mobile App analytics firm) and Shuye Information Technology (AI company in mental health) to enhance App recommendation systems, user preference modelling, and authenticity verification.
Moreover, Professor Cao has been actively engaging with external non-academic community through invited talks and consultation sessions with leading organisations such as China Emissions Exchange Guangzhou, DiDi Global, Wandoujia.com, Vipshop and Qimai Technology. The connection he has established with the business industry and public sector is another strong indication of the impact of his work.

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.
