GE2015-55
‘Like A Boss’ as a catchphrase has been popular on social media as a hashtag for posts about successful actions or things people are proud of doing. Running a business requires both knowledge and experience, insight, vision, and innovative ideas.
In the previous semesters, Founders of 9Gag and 759 Store, and Chief Operating Officer of A.S. Watson Group were invited to share their insights on management and marketing strategy. This semester, another group of ‘bosses’ from leading enterprises in Hong Kong will share their dynamic perspectives, personal philosophies, and convictions in corporate management and governance.
成為老闆或企業家是很多人的目標，但管理公司不能單靠你在學校讀到的理論，開拓商業也不像你交功課或參加比賽的建議書那樣簡單。你需要經驗、遠見、創意……在本課程中，三位成功的企業家將分享他們管理公司的見解和理念。
