The enduring appeal of the BizInsight@HKUST series of lunchtime seminars is not hard to identify. Each event sees leading academics from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology speak on a topic with direct relevance for the local business community.

The resulting interaction introduces executives to some of the latest research-based findings, but it also provides new ideas and perspectives which can have a direct bearing on productivity and performance in the day-to-day work environment.
