International teaching and industry experience

I have teaching experience in International Business, International Operation, Business Strategy, and Doing Business in China at undergraduate, postgraduate, and executive levels. I have taught various courses in China, Australia, and UK. My career has been in academic research track, but I have also been involved with consulting projects helping foreign firms enter into and better adapt to the Chinese market.

Why do you enjoy teaching in the MBA programme?

I believe in the 'combination of my research and teaching'. My students find it interesting and insightful to discuss and apply academic research into practice. In addition MBA students with rich working experiences always inspire my research ideas through our discussions both during and out of class.

What global perspective is reflected in your course/teaching?

International business is a global topic by its nature. Especially due to the climate risk, political relationships and increasingly new technologies and business models, it is becoming ever critical to have a global and holistic mindset no matter where you do business at local or global level. Social, political, cultural, technological and economic issues are always important in our international business paper.
