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：

• 改變資訊分發與獲取模式
• 革新內容生產流程
• 實現全自然交互完成任務
• 提供專家級虛擬助手
• 顛覆傳統手工編程方式
• 加速科研工作進展

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。

近日，港大經管學院朱未名教授入選全球極具影響力的商學院教育媒體Poets&Quants評選的「2025年全球40位40歲以下頂尖MBA教授」榜單。

朱教授取得的成就，體現了港大經管學院持續吸收並支持多元化、高水平教育團隊的承諾。港大經管學院擁有來自超過22個國家、超過210位教員的多元化教育團隊。這些優秀的教育人才仍在不斷提升港大經管學院在亞太乃至全球作為頂尖學院的聲譽。

36歲的朱教授是港大經管學院創新及資訊管理學副教授，同時擔任高層管理教育公開課程總監，其教學模式深受學生好評，不僅內容高度實用，而且極具前瞻性，比如他會在課堂上講述如何使用ChatGPT進行編程等面向未來的工作技能。

在加入香港大學之前，朱教授曾任IESE商學院生產、技術與營運管理系副教授，並曾在麻省理工學院（MIT）的數據、系統與社會研究所（IDSS）擔任訪問教授。他的研究聚焦市場營運、城市交通和供應鏈金融領域，其研發的優惠券即時分配算法和共享單車模擬系統已被多家企業應用於日常營運決策。

朱教授的研究成果也在許多頂尖期刊上發表，並多次獲得最佳論文獎。他還曾榮獲香港大學「傑出教師獎（研究生教學）」。

嚴肅的教學之外，朱教授擁有一個有趣而樂於思考的靈魂：

• 「如果不當教授，我想當漫畫家」：朱教授坦言非常喜歡繪畫，同時也認同尤瓦爾·赫拉利在《人類簡史》描述的”好故事”在人類社會中的力量。在課堂中會使用”劇情式案例教學”和“引導式提問”同MBA學生進行互動。在激發課堂活力的同時，引起同學反思，並藉此闡明關鍵知識點。
• 企業需要「減少算法厭惡」：朱教授指出，企業在AI應用中的障礙不僅源於技術，更在於員工對機器的不信任。在AI時代，企業應幫助團隊在高效利用AI技術的同時，保持批判性思維與獨立判斷，並在組織內部貫徹人文關懷。
• 最喜歡MBA學生帶來的多元化視角：朱教授享受與來自不同背景的學生交流，但也坦言在技術快速發展的背景下保持課程內容的相關性是最具挑戰性的部分。

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：

• 健康板塊：涵蓋生物製劑、器械診斷和健康服務等業務板塊，持續全球產業創新，構建醫療級、一站式、全場景的健康生態；
• 快樂板塊：圍繞家庭消費和旅遊文化，構建全球化、全產業的快樂生態系統；
• 富足板塊：聚焦保險、資管兩大領域，打造復星富足生態產業佈局；
• 智造板塊：以戰略性資源、功能性新材料和智能製造產業為主體，賦能產業高端化、智能化、綠色轉型

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：

• 核心是組織，關鍵是人才，驅動靠文化，科技為基礎
• 管理形式需因應環境與需求彈性改變
• 以組織能力和文化價值推動管理變革和提升，並借助現代資訊科技技術進一步提高管理系統效率

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。

Connectivity in Finance (“CIF”) is a three-day out-of-the-classroom event for HKU Business School students, which one can treat as a local field trip. The event was led by Professor Anna Wong, Programme Director of the Bachelor of Finance in Asset Management and Private Banking (BFin(AMPB)) and arranged primarily for the Year 1 and Year 2 Business School students who are interested in finance.  

 The CIF 2025 was hosted during the Reading Week between 10 and 12 March. A total of 58 students from all programmes participated, visiting and meeting senior government officials and banks/bankers covering private wealth management, asset management, and corporate and commercial banking. The students also have the opportunity to join a financial market trading workshop hosted by AmplifyME, giving them a taste of sales and trading.

 The event was well received by all the students, with some extracted comments quoted below:

“The CIF programme was an incredible opportunity to deepen my understanding of the finance industry, build meaningful connections and develop practical skills. This experience has further fueled my passion for the industry, and I look forward to applying what I have learned as I continue my journey in finance.”

Jonathan Yau, BBA(IBGM) Year 2

“The CIF has been a defining experience in my early career journey. Beyond the technical expertise, it instilled in me a profound respect for the human element in finance — whether in client relationships, cross-border collaborations or ethical stewardship of wealth.”

Stephanie Mak, BEcon&Fin Year 2

“The programme provided invaluable exposure to the finance industry through bank visits and practitioner interactions. I particularly valued the rare opportunity to receive direct advice from professionals. During the AmplifyMe simulation, I have the opportunity to understand the difference between short-term trading and longer-term investment strategy and do appreciate the latter.”

Samantha Kwok, BFin(AMPB) Year 1

“An event that fosters insight for prospective undergraduates to learn what it takes to be a Private Banker. Through deep sharing from esteemed individuals in this event, I can pinpoint my goals and realize the mindset I must adopt to understand clients, the markets and leverage ample opportunities for connections and learning.”

Jerry Ngo, BSc(QFin) Year 1

• Meeting Senior Government Official – March 10 morning

Students met with Mr. Joseph Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, The Government of the HKSAR. Mr. Chan talked about the strengths and challenges of Hong Kong as an international financial centre and how students should prepare themselves in the midst of a challenging environment. Some comments from the participating students:

“The talk allowed for an understanding of the critical role that government policies play in shaping the financial landscape and ensuring economic stability.”

“The talk clearly shows the future job trend and government focus, such as green and sustainable finance and fintech.”

“I have a better understanding of the role that the Government plays and the importance of collaboration between public and private sectors in shaping effective financial policies.”

(Mr. Joseph Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and Treasury, sharing with HKU Business School students.)

(2) Visiting Banks and Meeting Bank Executives

Students visited four banks in two days, having the opportunity to meet both senior executives as well as young talents of the bank. While listening to senior executive presentations is a good way to understand the business strategy and opportunities, the students treasured a lot on the “speed dating”, “small chit-chat”, and “drinking chat” with the young executives and division experts. Amazingly, some analysts we met are our recent BFin(AMPB) alumni.

We visited DBS Bank, Goldman Sachs, Julius Baer and Standard Chartered Bank. The hosting banks represented a spectrum of businesses and cultures. Students have the opportunity to learn about private banking at Julius Baer and Standard Chartered Bank, Corporate/Commercial Banking at DBS Bank and Wealth and Asset Management at Goldman Sachs.

• Standard Chartered – March 10 afternoon

“I really loved the interactive private chit-chat session with the industry practitioners. It made the experience more unique and interactive.”

“My favourite session was the speed-dating for us to mingle with 6 mentors in 60 minutes; I raised questions for all 6 mentors and found their sharing to be very insightful.”

• DBS Bank – March 11 morning

(Prof. Winnie Leung, Assistant Dean (Undergraduate) of HKU Business School (front row, 4^th from the right), participating in the firm visit to DBS Bank and posing for a group photo with all DBS practitioners.)

“The session discussing how the bank competes with its competitors by integrating technology into its banking system is really an opener for me.”

“My biggest takeaway is the role of technology in banking and the digital transformation being the significant focus of the bank.”

• Julius Baer – March 11 afternoon

(Prof. Anna Wong (front row, second from the left) and David Shick, Market Head Greater China Hong Kong and Branch Manager Hong Kong, Julius Baer (front row, second from the right) with HKU Business School students.)

“My favourite part was the in-depth discussion on personalized wealth management strategies and how Julius Baer tailors its services to meet individual client needs.”

“The Branch Manager’s sharing was very encouraging and provided insights into the bank’s responsibilities and goals.”

“The office atmosphere and the speakers’ presentation style made me interested in working for the bank.”

• Goldman Sachs – March 11 afternoon

(Group photo featuring Prof. Anna Wong (3^rd  from the left) alongside representatives from Goldman Sachs.)

“I really liked and enjoyed the BFin(AMPB) alumni sharing, which provided a good networking opportunity.   Their sharing on how they got the job and their daily routines at the wealth management division and asset management division were inspiring.”

“My favourite part of the talk was the insights into the bank’s approach to risk management and how they navigate market volatility to protect client investments.”

• Sales & Trading Simulation – March 12

Students participated in a one-day Financial Market Trading Workshop organized by AmplifyME, which featured Asset Management and Sales & Trading simulations used by top firms. The simulations offered a realistic glimpse into the roles of sales traders, market makers and asset managers. 

(Group photo of the participating students from the trading simulation workshop.)

“It provided students with a good understanding of the dynamics between the buy side and sell side in finance and gave them hands-on experience bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application.”

Connectivity in Finance (“CIF”) is an annual event. If you have missed the opportunity this year, do watch out for the next offering in March 2026!

On 8 April 2025, the third “Hong Kong Crypto Finance Forum” was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

俞老師強調，大部分人的生活和事業都不是一帆風順的，人生和事業就像一條河流，以曲折展現其豐富且美好的路徑。 他深信韌性是企業家最重要的品德，是一種赤子之心、不怕失敗、尋找出路的能力。 對他而言，韌性是一種熱愛的堅持，是生命不息，是對地平線之外世界的渴望。 他寄語出席者，世上並沒有真正的失敗，只有成功前的努力。

隨後，俞老師深入分享他對企業家的看法：

1. 企業家必須與時代合拍，理解時代、運用時代，並超越時代
2. 創業家不只是生意人，還需擁有核心價值觀，推動企業發展的同時促進社會進步
3. 企業家必須是不畏艱難和失敗的人，能從困境中找到機會
4. 企業家需要具備足夠的創新和突破能力，帶領團隊走向新旅程
5. 企業家應具備團隊領導力和組織文化力，營造同舟共濟、共同奮鬥的氛圍
