The first MOST School @ HSMC was held from 3 to 6 Jul 2018. This four-day workshop titled “Managing People in Times of Social Transformation: An International and Cross Regional Border Perspective” was co-organised by the School of Business and the Research Institute for Business, in association with the Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Programme of UNESCO. The workshop was a great success in terms of gathering academics, civil society leaders and government officials to exchange their views on managing people in social transformation.
A warm welcome by Professor Bradley Barnes, Dean of School of Business, was followed by an opening speech by President Simon SM Ho and a souvenir presentation by Provost Gilbert Fong to the speakers and panellists, to thank them for their contributions.
Each day of the workshop consisted of presentations by distinguished local and overseas scholars as well as management experts on various MOST issues, including human capital development, living wage, social enterprise and work-life balance. The afternoon sessions began with a case study followed by a tri-partite discussion facilitated by several panels to encourage interdisciplinary exchange between the panellists, civil social leaders and the participants.
