He spent five years in the beautiful city of Vancouver and returned to Hong Kong with a Ph.D. in management/ International business. His alma mater hired him and promoted him to be an associate professor in 2001. His research interests are diverse: international HRM, social network, and research methodology. He recently starts his first book project with the tentative title of “E-learning in Greater China.” Asked about the finishing date, Kevin refused to give a definite answer, citing buoyant consulting work, increasing involvement with CUBA Alumni, and numerous side interests as excuses. His favorite activities are sleeping and self-actualization.
