Teaching Interestes
I have a broad of interests in various subjects to teach. I am very passionate about learning with the next generation (or peer sectors) and exploring the diversified universes of knowledge. Therefore, no particular request from my side to teach a specific course. I am excellent to develop independent or joint programs, courses, and modules with stakeholders based on the demand and the changing phenomena as well as audience background.
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy and methodology include case-based teaching (Harvard Business School's teaching method), Problem-based Learning (research-oriented teaching method), and phenomena- driven teaching. These three teaching methods require intensive class discussion and interaction, a large volume of reading before-and-after the classes, a self-reflection ritual, and a broad view of international landscape with the dynamics of social-political-economic-technology-civilization interpretation. This integrative teaching methodology is very effective to equip students (also me) to reflect the past, understand the current, and ethically plan and act for the future.
Teaching themes
Most of the teaching subjects in the field of management and economics are fine for me to study and teach. In my experience, I have taught various subjects including Strategy, International Business, Organizational Behavior, Leadership, Corporate Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Entrepreneurship Leadership, Entrepreneurship Education, Institutional Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, Innovation Management, Social Innovation, Sustainability, SDG9, Wellbeing and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taichi and Wellbeing, Happiness Education, and Chinese Economy and Business, International Relations etc. In the past of my experience, I have developed and managed several levels of programs and research centers with various partners.
