We are glad that the Workshop has achieved a number of objectives including :

- Enhancing PolyU’s visibility and reputation in marketing scholarship throughout the world;
- Strengthening our research collaboration with marketing scholars from JM’s editorial team, and throughout Hong Kong and the Great Bay Area; and

We look forward to more opportunities to hosting world-class academic events in the future to further enhance our research visibility and reputation.
