Wenjie Liu is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Management, College of Business, City University of Hong Kong. His research interests span the areas of nonmarket strategy, global strategy, sustainability, and political economy. One stream of his research investigates how interorganizational arrangements, particularly cross-sector collaborations, shape the diffusion and effectiveness of corporate sustainability practices in global supply chains. In another stream of research, he examines how firms navigate the challenges posed by the rise of authoritarianism and illiberalism around the world. His research across these two streams seeks to contribute to our broader understanding of how firms operate beyond markets, addressing political, social, and environmental issues in an increasingly turbulent world.

He currently serves as an editorial board member of the Journal of Management. His work has earned numerous awards and recognitions from the Academy of Management, the Academy of International Business, and the Group for Research on Organizations and the Natural Environment, including being named a finalist for the 2025 William C.
