CB emphasises producing innovative and relevant applied research that enriches the understanding and practice of business and has established this research excellence award scheme to recognize and reward overall research excellence and important research achievements.
The CREA Selection Panel was favourably impressed by the high quality of work presented and commended the awardees for their overall research excellence: “We have three outstanding awardees for the Research Excellent Awards this year, whose research achievements rival the best in the world. They truly deserve this honour because of their significant contribution in research with a substantial number of top-tier journal papers published in the past three years. Despite such a short time frame, their works have already demonstrated a significant impact on their respective fields.”
I would like to thank the CREA Selection Panel comprising Professor Kelvin Yau (Chair), Professor Ma Yue, and Professor Yang Haibin for their work, and all colleagues for participating in this award scheme, and for helping build the vibrant research culture in the College that we so much value. We welcome your participation again next year!
Last but not least, a special note of thanks goes to our benefactor Jenny Chan for her generous donation which has made the establishment of this research excellence award possible.
