从《韩非子》看组织为什么会失败 ?

Discussion on the reasons of the failure of organizations from the Chinese work Han Feizi

李晋教授

Prof.Jin LI

疫情期间,不少企业,包括一些百年老店轰然倒下。然而如何在易变,不确定,复杂而又模糊的(VUCA)环境里生存下去,并非是这个时代独有的难题。 早在两千多年前, 那个狼烟四起,群雄纷争的战国时代,这个难题也困扰着大大小小的各国诸侯们。关于这个难题的思考,孕育了一批思想家。韩非是其中最杰出的代表之一。他的《韩非子》集势、法、术、道为一体, 不少观点切中现代经济学的核心。对韩非,秦始皇感叹 “嗟乎,寡人得见此人与之游,死不恨矣!” 而《韩非子》又能给今天的管理者带来怎样的启示呢?

港大经管学院网上直播教学平台 – 「明德大学堂」邀请了港大经管学院教授(管理及商业策略、经济学)李晋教授,和大家分析《韩非子》,借古鉴今看如何在这疫情后的时代生存下去。
 

 
Many corporations, including some hundred-year-old enterprises fell during the pandemic. Yet the question of survival in the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) environment is not unique in our times. Around two thousand years ago, during the chaotic Warring States Period, this question has troubled many feudal lords then. This has given rise to a group of philosophers and among them, Han Fei was the most outstanding one. His work Han Feizi has integrated Shi (situation), Fa (law), Shu (skill), Dao (way) and many viewpoints in his work have fit in the essence of modern economics.

Prof. LI will analyze the work Han Feizi and discuss how we may take reference from the work to survive in this post-pandemic era.

前沿科技的“黑暗面”:设计搜索的惊喜度

The "dark side" of technology: serendipity in designing information search

蒋镇辉教授

Prof.Zhenhui JIANG

你是否有过搜索了一条信息后,铺天盖地都是相似信息的推荐的经历?你在电商平台购物时、在视频网站跟剧时、在新闻app浏览时,是否有一种看的信息越来越像和信息面越来越窄的感觉?这种感觉是否让你觉得信息探索变得无趣了起来?这是个性化推荐带来的“过滤气泡”。个性化推荐帮助用户更有效地搜寻用户感兴趣的信息,但同时也降低了用户信息搜寻的惊喜度。
 
港大经管学院网上直播教学平台 – 「明德大学堂」邀请了港大经管学院创新及资讯管理学教授蒋镇辉教授,来揭开推荐技术的“黑暗面”,提供设计信息搜索惊喜度的新思路,为大家剖析未来的信息搜索将如何演变。
 

 
The “dark side” of technology: serendipity in designing information search by Professor Zhenhui JIANG Have you got the experience that when you searched a piece of information, similar recommendations will pop up afterwards? Do you have a feeling that the information you are seeing are getting more and more similar and the range is getting narrower, when you shop on online platforms, watch episodes on websites and browse news on app? Do you feel bored when you search? This is the issue of “Filter Bubble” brought by personalised recommendation. Personalised recommendation helps users search their interested information more effectively, yet also reduces the users’ surprise in searching information.
 
Prof. JIANG will reveal the “dark side” of recommendation technology and provide new thoughts on how to design information search to retain “serendipity”.
