I will introduce these ideas to the research communities I served and involved in mainland China; I will try my best to apply these ideas in my personal research trajectory; I will strongly persuade my colleagues, Deans, Chairmen at Nankai Business School and around to think about the importance of applying these ideas in our daily work, and the implication of pursuing our commitment to the community of RRBM in a long run.
I will continue to do research in areas that are relevant to broader social aims, not just to the simplistic Homo Economicus paradigm. I believe it is important to work with business school colleagues in disciplines in addition to management, such as finance, accounting, operations management, economics, etc. to pursue the RRBM vision. Also, as per the aims of RRBM, we should make the findings in our research more accessible to multiple stakeholders. This means that we have to stop worshipping certain journals as the primary outlets for our research. We have to reach the business community and the general public through general and social media, and create a dialogue around this, i.e., multi-sided conversations.
RRBM is terribly important for advancing our management research community in constructive ways. I want to support it in any way I can. For example, I would be happy to give speeches, seminars, or training in Engaged Scholarship. My course web site is publicly available. Best wishes.
I will continue my many years of research and writing on improving service in healthcare, with particular emphasis in recent years in cancer care. I will continue to infuse my courses with a focus on integrity in business and discussion of what I call “social profit.”
