The Talk of Asian Leadership Series at HKUST by Nicholas Tse
Karen(MC): Welcome to the Asian leadership series. My name is Karen from the department of management, and I’m your MC for this evening.
Some of you may wonder how this talk came about, actually it is through a conversation between the case manager and myself, about how much we want to find a young, successful Asian business leader, and someone who all our undergraduate students can relate to. And the he said ‘well, Karen have you heard about the founder of the post production office limited, Nicholas Tse?’ And I said ‘Perfect!’
So, with the tremendous support of the post production office limited, we give you our delivering of the first Asian leadership series. So thank you very much for coming.
So, since this talk is especially for you students, the whole event is going to be hosted by students. So the format is this: The first 20 minutes or so Mr. Nicholas Tse is going to share some of his experience and insights with us, and that will be followed by an about 45 minute chatting session between the 3 student interviewers and Mr. Nicholas Tse, and then we’ll be round up by a 15 minute Q&A session. So may I now invite the 3 student interviewers, Jocelyn, Mandy and Nathan to the floor please. So before we officially kick off the event, just a friendly reminder of some simple house rules. First can you please switch your mobile phones to silent mode, and secondly, no laptop, computer, no live recording, and third, I understand everyone is very excited but please remain seated during the event. And, last but not least, if you want to leave the lecture theatre during the event, can you please use the doors at the back.
So, without further ado, can I please invite Professor Roger King, director of the Centre for the Business Case Studies and he himself a highly successful business leader to kick off the event.
Professor King: Thank you all. It’s really a great, great honor and privilege for HKUST to have Mr. Nicholas Tse here. First of all I would like to also thank our president Tony, to be here, and our dean Brandon Chan, and of course many other honored guests, but, most importantly, you students.
I think this is probably one of the biggest events we’ve ever had. Just to let you know Nicholas the registry opened and within hours, it was totally full. In fact, this room only holds 400 people. Within a day and a half, we had 1700 people sign up, and they clearly didn’t come to see Tony. Nor me. But anyway, I was asked to say a few words about our case center, and many of you may or may not be aware of it, we have a case center here in HKUST’s business coup, which is relatively new. And let me just tell you why we started this thing. It was actually the encouragement of our Dean and basically most of you probably aware of the notion of the case study itself. For those of you who may not understand, case study actually brings in real-life business situations into the classroom by writing cases on that company usually, and but we also back it up with theory, and allow students to actually analyse the situation itself. So by having said that, there are a lot of other schools particularly Harvard, Ivy league and many many other schools do write cases. So why should we be writing cases? Well one of my colleagues Professor pang here and what we did was before I said to Leonard “Yes we will do this” because he asked me to do it on a proposal base I might say. So I said “Well, before we actually do this let’s take a survey and understand what are we currently do in our school and who uses the case method.” And so we did was we actually took a survey for all the faculty members that are teaching the MBA program itself. OK~ and what we discovered was first of all at the encouragement of the Dean we actually had 2/3 of the faculty responded to the survey over 66% and what was discovered was that students actually like class that have cases in it. NO.1, they gained higher scores for class that had that, so for those of you who are teaching this is great news. The second thing is that (they) actually like the professor that’s teaching it. And the third thing was how come we always study western company cases, why don’t we have more Asian cases? And therefore our main main focus is now on Asian. In fact, my colleagues and I (某人名)as well, have now coined the concept—— Asian cases by Asians for Asians. Now it’s not to say that someone from Harvard they ask for a case we don’t give it to them. But I would hope that in a few years, they would actually come to us and ask for cases. Why? Because a Harvard professor their thinking-class is very very western. They don’t really understand how businesses are conducted in this part. And hence that’s our primary goal here. And we are also very very lucky that many of our faculties now have been supporting the concept itself and in fact even though 10-year system in the school doesn’t necessarily recognize those centres involved in writing cases or even teaching cases, but we are moving along that long. So this is the purpose of that and in fact many our cases we are able to invite honoured guest to come but more importantly in the classroom sometimes. And I recall one of my cases the individual that came to the class, this is the person that actually in the case itself, he said to me “Roger, you know what? This is great~! I’m getting so many good suggestions from students. In fact, it’s the cheapest consulting service I’ve ever had” so you know the whole idea is you need to participate for you students in this room. And it’s a great great opportunity to analyses real-life situations.
