1.
Teaching
I have been
teaching at higher institutes of learning since 1988. My teaching assignments have
been in China, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand,
South Korea, Switzerland and the UK. Thus, I have had wide experience teaching
students of different backgrounds and cultures. I have taught various subjects
in the area of economics including first year Principles of Economics, second
year Microeconomics, Labour Economics, Money and
Banking, Asian Economies, International Trade, Business Mathematics and
Research Methodology. At the post-graduate level, I have taught Managerial
Economics, Financial and Monetary Economics, Macroeconomics, Asian Economic
Integration, International Business Strategy and Business Research Methods. Between 2000 and 2015, I have supervised more
than 100 MBA and MSc dissertations. I have also acted as PhD external examiner
for various universities worldwide including University of Wollongong,
University of Newcastle and the University of Malaya.
2. Research
My area of
interest is Asian economies, specifically in the area of trade and investment
as well as corporate social responsibility. I have more than 75 publications in
international journals and book chapters. I have co-authored four books. I have
done work on Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Macau, ASEAN and New Zealand.
I have also undertaken several research projects for the UNESCAP. Currently, I
have several projects under way, most of which deal with the Asian economies,
specifically on Corporate Social Responsibility, Foreign Direct Investment, and
International Trade. Since 2014, I was listed among the most Highly Cited
Chinese Researchers by Elsevier.
3.
Administration
At CEIBS, I am Associate
Dean and Director of the Global EMBA program (ranked at number 2 by Financial Times in 2020). The position
involves designing the curriculum, inter-facing with students and alumni,
faculty.
Previously I was
the Associate Dean responsible for Accreditation, Learning Assurance and
Rankings. In this role, I ensure the accreditation of CEIBS by AACSB, EQUIS and
other relevant agencies. I also chaired the CEIBS Curriculum and Learning
Assurance Committee.
In the past, I was
project manager for the EU-China Business and Management Training Project. This
is a 10 million euros project that expands into research, scholarships, student
and faculty exchanges etc. Previously, I coordinated another EU funded project
under the Asia Link Programme. The project, worth
400,000 euros, involved supervising a range of activities including faculty and
student exchanges between Asia and Europe, workshops and conferences.
At the
University of Nottingham in Malaysia, I held several administrative positions
including the acting directorship of the Nottingham University Business School.
The Business School in Malaysia had 16 academic staff and 4 administrative
personnel. The school offered 4 undergraduate programmes,
2 postgraduate programmes and the MBA. The Business
School had more than 300 students.
I directed the

since its inception. CEABuR was established to
promote research within the Business School and to facilitate joint research with
academics from the UK.
Previously, I
was the Head of the Economics and Quantitative Methods Department at UNITEN.
The Department had a total of 9 academic staff. In this position, I also served
on various other committees at the department, college and university levels. I
was also appointed to the University’s Senate.
At Massey
University, I administered the first year principles course which had more than
2000 students. This paper had 6 lecturers, 6 graduate assistants and a full
time course administrator. The paper contributed half of the department’s
funding. It was carried out internally, extra-murally
and in three other polytechnics.
4. Consulting
My consulting
activities have been primarily in the area of training - an area in which I
have a clear advantage. I have conducted various programmes
in the areas of banking, economics, office administration and ASEAN affairs. My
audiences have ranged from junior bank officers to senior civil servants. In
the last 5 years, I have conducted executive programmes
in the area of macroeconomics to managers from IBM, Evonik, Credit Agricole, GE
etc. I have also been invited by several organizations to give keynote
addresses and guest lectures including the Federation of Malaysian
Manufacturers (FMM), Malaysian Assurance Alliance (MAA), Hewlett Packard (HP),
TCL, AVIC and the South African Consulate in Shanghai.
I have been
advisor to several agencies including the Panel of Experts of the Malaysian National
Energy Centre, ACCA Malaysia’s Environmental and Social Reporting Awards
(MESRA) project, CEIBS Business Review’s China Green Management Awards programme, Fortune China’s Environmental and Social
Rankings programme and the Jiangning
