Approaching March 2023, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) will be celebrating its 43rd anniversary with a variety of activities. President Simon S.M. HO, an international scholar on corporate governance and sustainability, and Prof. IP Po Keung, a research fellow on corporate ethics and institutional cultures, will discuss and review how founders’ values of well-known corporations shape their unique corporate cultures at the captioned seminar.
The political, economic, social, historical, cultural, organisational and personal forces of different economies in the world shaped their respective unique corporate cultures. The President’s Chatroom will explore the experiences of the well-known companies in Hong Kong (Hang Seng Bank), Japan (Kongo Gumi Co., Ltd.), and the United States (The Container Store) to investigate the relationships between the culture of these organisations and their founders’ values. By understanding its corporate culture, people will hopefully be able to choose the right company to work for, patronise, and invest in.
There will be a Q&A session and sharing of personal experiences is welcome.
Answer quiz questions during the event to receive an autographed co-authored book Ho Sin Hang and the Early Company Culture of Hang Seng Bank from President Ho and Prof. Ip.
