Teaching Technology

It is widely believed that the technology-based entrepreneurship has great potential to increase wealth and competitiveness. Researchers believe that Technology-based Entrepreneurship Education (TEE) may raise students’ awareness about the technology entrepreneurship and the opportunities for technology commercialization. However, TEE has a relatively shorter history than conventional entrepreneurship education in business schools and there are fewer cases. This paper will use a revised 4W1H framework to review existing models of TEE and then present the TIPE model that has been implemented at a university in Hong Kong since 2001 for master students. Educational and policy implications are explored finally.

Marketing Approach

There is a big demand for business talents in Hong Kong. Nevertheless, business schools are not producing what businesses in the Special Administration Region (SAR) need. For this reason, administrators in business schools should adopt a strategic approach when they formulate their educational goals and strategies. Several key elements which are essential to the success of business schools are discussed in this paper: customer orientation, capabilities development, and relationship and network marketing. Based on the strategic approach, a number of recommendations are made: namely, the initiation of a student intake campaign, and the emphasis on better curriculum design, extra-curricular activities, alumni activities, and the adoption of an internal marketing approach.

Retirement Transition

Purpose Relatively few studies about retirement transition examine economies, where a public pension system is absent. This paper aims to fill this gap in the literature. Design/methodology/approach The present study draws on the stratification and risk society approach, as well as results from unstructured interviews with 12 Chinese in Hong Kong. Findings The analyses show that the retirement transition involves moving between different forms of wage work and non-work status. These moves were undertaken because of not only financial needs but also a strong desire to be a financially self-reliant and intrinsic commitment to employment. The authors argue that the desire and commitment to employment are shaped by the underdeveloped pension system, practical orientation towards traditional Chinese filial piety norms and personal work history. Research limitations/implications The current research covers only a very small sample and uses retrospective interviewing instead of a larger and/or representative sample using prospective panel interview. Nevertheless, the research carries theoretical and policy implications of the study on retirement transition and protection. Originality/value Few local studies track retirement transitions in the way similar to the current studies. Existing studies are mostly about advanced Anglo-Saxon economies with a long history of public pension, albeit reformed in recent year, in place. The current study adds to the general literature on retirement studies.
