The Department of Business Administration (BA Department), Faculty of Commerce of the HKSYU, organizes Academic Week (A-Week) in October every year to connect the practitioners and professionals in various business fields with students and teachers alike to understand more about the changing trends and practices of the business world in reality. On October 17-20, 2022, the BA Department successfully held the Academic Week 2022, on the theme of “Industry 5.0.”

The colleagues of the BA Department weaved the different elements, including the theme, guest speaker invitation, logistics and on-site operations, into the success of the A-Week. Nearly 20 student helpers contributed a lot to the success as well.

“This year, A-week theme is industry 5.0. Industry 5.0 is a relatively new concept which aims for a sustainable, human-centric and resilient approach” Dr. Lubanski LAM, Associate Head of the BA Department, remarked.

A total of seven seminars and one corporate visit were scheduled. Prominent business leaders, business and management professionals, renowned entrepreneurs and alumni were invited to share their knowledge and experience with students. Afterwards, BA department conducted a survey to collect students’ feedback and opinions on A-Week. With students’ suggestions, BA department determined to host successful A-Week in the next year.
