Our People

Many people’s impression of accounting work is that it is “all about the numbers”. Loretta Fong (PACC 1993) has a different take on the entire matter: “Numbers are merely health indexes. What accountants truly need to do is to feel the pulse of a business.”

Student Story

Doctors’ careers are typically straightforward. That is not the case for Dr. Justin Wu (EMBA Year 2). Chance and circumstances, as well as his openness to change led him down a different path and into a bigger world.

Faculty Story

A frequent recipient of teaching awards, Dr. Andrew Yuen is highly focused on preparing students for the future. He works tirelessly to instil within them not only the knowledge they need but also the ability to grow continually through time.

In China’s rising economic powerhouse, the Greater Bay Area (GBA), CUHK Business School alumni are poised to capitalise on the business potential in the region and forge ahead with their entrepreneurial passion.
