MM successfully hosted the Interdisciplinary Symposium on "Institutions, Governance, and Innovation" on October 24 and 25, 2024. The event attracted around 100 participants, both online and in-person, including scholars, policymakers, and industry leaders from Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and beyond. The symposium opened with an inspiring welcome address from Prof. Wu Liu, Head and Professor of MM. It featured two keynote speeches: one by Professor Ruth Aguilera from Northeastern University and another by Professor Rodolphe Durand from HEC Paris. Additionally, eight engaging presentations were delivered by leading scholars from around the world. A highlight of the symposium was the Innovation Policy Forum, co-organized by MM and PolyU's Policy Research Centre for Innovation and Technology. Five internationally renowned scholars in strategic management and public policy shared their insights on the development of the innovation and technology industries in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. The symposium concluded with remarks from Prof. Chi Nien Chung, Chair Professor of Strategic and Organization Management and Associate Dean for Research and Postgraduate Studies.
We hope this marks the start of an intellectual journey for the PolyU Business School (PBS) community, focusing on the crucial roles of institutional contexts and governance structures in fostering innovation and development.
