Kam Wing Siu
Wing finished his BSc and MSc in Economics in HKUST and he got PhD from Boston University. Then he joined Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in both Atlanta and Beijing, and later PricewaterhouseCoopers in Beijing. In 2012, he came back to start a career in education, he always says, “I was blessed to have received valuable knowledge, coach and advice in HKUST.”
He sees his goal as bringing life issues to the classroom and to share his learning and work experiences with students. He hopes that would help students to find their own way.
Wing believes that relevance and applicability is the core for education. He accentuates in his teaching a lot on the “purposes” of a concept or a theory in the analysis framework, and how these can give perspectives into certain real world phenomena and their potential application. He uses his experiences in the business world to contribute to business education in HKUST. Feedbacks from students showed that they like the applicability of knowledge in real situations.
His office door is always opened and students come to him with questions on study, major selection, further study, career, values of life and personal problems. He also meets students in official gathering and sharing sessions.
He links students up with his local or foreign connections; he served as advisor for two business case competitions and one team went to the final round in the KPMG Business Administration Paper 2013, the other to the semi-finalist in the Hong Kong Social Enterprise Challenge 2013.
Wing was voted twice as one of the “Ten Best Lecturers in HKUST” in the short history of his stay since 2012. He was honored to be at the same prizes presentation ceremony with his former professors and carry on with the good work.
