UM scholar gives talk on how enterprises can promote innovation through knowledge management

The University of Macau (UM) today (29 November) held a talk titled ‘How Can Enterprises Promote Innovation through Knowledge Management?’ as the ninth talk of the UM Scholar Research Forum. Jacky Hong, head of the Department of Management and Marketing of UM’s Faculty of Business Administration, was the speaker. The talk attracted UM faculty members and students, as well as teachers and students from local secondary schools, who participated in the event either virtually or in-person. Innovation has become essential for modern businesses to remain competitive in the marketplace, but there is a limited understanding of how to drive innovation within a business. During the talk, drawing on contemporary theories of innovation, Prof Hong discussed the various types and characteristics of innovation and how knowledge management can have an impact on the implementation of innovation in businesses.

澳門大學今（29）日舉行“澳大學人研究講壇”第9講，由澳大工商管理學院管理及市場學系系主任洪福來教授以“企業如何通過知識管理促進創新”為題發表演説，吸引澳大及多所中學師生線上線下參與。

創新已經成為當代企業在市場上保持競爭力的必要條件，但人們對於如何在企業內有效推動創新的理解相當有限。洪教授以當代創新的理論為基礎，討論創新的各種類型和特徵，以及知識管理如何有效地對推動企業實施創新的相關影響。

洪福來畢業於蘭卡斯特大學，於1998年加入澳門大學，現任澳門大學工商管理學院管理及市場學系系主任。他的主講課程包括戰略管理、全球商業策略、管理學專題研究等本科及研究生課程；研究領域包括組織學習、跨國公司的知識管理及創新等。

澳大近年在研究創新方面取得了顯著成效，澳大研究服務及知識轉移辦公室自2021年起組織開展“澳大學人研究講壇”，邀請傑出的澳大學人以通俗易懂的方式介紹其前沿的研究成果，營造通過學術研究創造知識的良好氛圍，引導大衆和青年學生了解研究創新的社會意義、價值及與日常生活密切關聯的應用性。
