    研究中心的願景和使命
    在過去的十五年,香港在政治、經濟、文化、社會各方面均經歷了急劇的轉變,其變化的質和量,是香港立埠以來所少見的。而中國政府進行開放政策和各項改革措施,也帶來中國社會民生劇烈轉變。這種種變化正衝擊著香港各個方面的運作和發展,包括經濟及商業環境,以至公共政策的制定和落實,莫不處處面對挑戰和機遇。在這環境下,對經濟、商業和公共政策等的研究,不單有著實質的學術意義,也有龐大的社會需要。我們本著研究與應用並重的信念,決定籌組研究中心,集中就商業、經濟和公共政策等方面進行學術的歸納、分析和研究,並透過嚴謹和獨立的學術研究方法,在這範圍內總結出變化的軌跡,尋找發展中的矛盾,疏理糾結,並建議出路。
    研究中心立基於樹仁大學,發揚大學精神,面向社會,期望在商業、經濟和公共政策的持續和良好發展作出學術貢獻。
    研究中心的目標
    研究中心聚焦於香港和相關地區的商業、經濟和公共政策發展。目標是總結97年後的總體轉化型態和問題癥結,並透過與工商業界、經濟組織、政府機構和社會各界的互動,著手建構一個相關的理論架構和論述,以解釋和評估相關的公共政策對商業、經濟和社會的衝擊、影響,並提出建議,予上述各機構、組織和公眾參考。
    研策中心的策略和工作方針
    為實踐以上的使命,我們訂立以下的策略和工作方針:
    ╴加強與各社區組織,商業機構和政府部門的聯繫和合作,為中心的工作建立堅實的基礎;

    Centre for Interdisciplinary Research
    HKSYU has been making its endeavor to enhance the quality and the quantity of research production. The establishment of the Interdisciplinary Research Platform (IRP) is a great move towards this goal. The construction of the IRP began in 2015, whose objective is mainly to encourage the conduct of interdisciplinary research. Currently, it is also one of the two projects in Shue Yan under the Institutional Development Scheme (IDS) launched by the government in 2013, which aims to increase the research capacity of the local self-financing degree-awarding institutions.

    Owing to the fact that 12 existing research centers of different academic areas are working independently in HKSYU, this IRP project serves as a platform that experts and resources from each centre could be amalgamated. Thus creating greater opportunities for researchers. Three main areas have been identified which could be worked out by all existing disciplines, namely Brain-Based Teaching and Learning, Decision Making, and Negotiation and Persuasion.

    Series of public lectures, research workshops and academic tutorials hosted by the IRP offer opportunities for both staff and students of the University to obtain broader knowledge and skills from international scholars and researchers. Apart from the research activities organized, the project also provides state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment to support advanced research in Brain-Based Teaching and Learning, Decision Making, and Negotiation and Persuasion. By means of the IRP, HKSYU anticipates the intellectual stimulation resulting from the interdisciplinary interaction will improve teaching, learning and research across the University, which create and sustain a distinctive niche in the three strategic areas.

    Centre of Interdisciplinary Research in Evidence-Based Practice

    The institution took pride to be the first self-financed university in Hong Kong and have developed vocationally oriented academic programmes that meet the social demands of the rapidly changing society, such as: Business Administration, Journalism, Psychology and Social Work. In the transition from a teaching-focused and research-informed institution to one that is teaching-led research-active institution, HKSYU is aspired to shape up an active research culture within the university. We hope to enrich the breadth and depth of interdisciplinary research and further translate findings and knowledge into the research and teaching of vocationally oriented academic programmes. In the process of establishing a research niche at HKSYU, evidenced-based practice has presented itself as a promising candidate since it was adopted in a number of vocationally oriented academic programmes, in which the university has successfully built during the past decades.

    Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

    Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) refers to the conscientious use of the best available evidence in decision making of handling various situations in different disciplines. (Sackett, Rosenberg, Gary, Haynes, Richardson, 1996). For example, in the regime of Social Work, evidence-based practice is the explicit and judicious use of best current evidence in making decisions regarding the welfare policies (Smith, 2004). It is a state-of-the-art approach currently adopted in many disciplines and industries, including Counselling and Psychology. By selecting the most effective approaches from systematic empirical research studies, the method of research can enhance the professional practices since it will continue to process and constantly change upon the availability of new best evidence.

    Interdisciplinary EBP

    HKSYU believes that continuous concerted efforts between researchers and front-line practitioners on EBP research are necessary so as to meet the ever-changing demands for professional practices in the contemporary society. Especially, evidences accumulated from clinical case studies and vigorous intervention research studies are extensively utilised by practitioners in subjects like Psychology, Counselling and Social Work. For instance, EBP is widely applied in the business area, one example of the well-researched mathematical models is the game theory (Myerson, 1997). Based on the research findings, companies utilise game theory in business practice to deal, compete or negotiate with their opponents. Apart from game theory, evidence-based management is another method adopted by leaders of companies to make organised decision based on scientific research, organisational data, professional experiences and stakeholders’ concerns and values to solve organisational problems. Studies shown that the method can help the leaders to make better decisions which benefits their companies (Barends, Rousseau, & Briner, 2014; Sohrabi & Zarghi, 2015). On the other hand, EBP is also applied in the disciplines of education and journalism. For example, schools changed the methodologies of English from teacher-centred to student-centred in order to optimize the student’s learning in English based on the guidelines from systematic research findings; similarly, editors make publishing decision by their expertise and evidence from empirical research, such as audience preferences data collected by media organisations (Cherubini & Nielsen, 2016).

    Objectives and Goals

    In the process of enriching the research culture within HKSYU, and in order to foster the process of transforming into a research-active institution, the university sets several objectives:

    1. Construct an interdisciplinary platform to promote research in evidence-based practice within HKSYU;
    2. Equip the platform with the requisite hardware and software for the development of interdisciplinary research in evidence-based practice;
    3. Offer opportunities to academics both within and outside HKSYU to gain insight, skills and knowledge from respected academics and accomplished researchers in the design and implementation of interdisciplinary research in evidence-based practice;
    4. Develop research expertise within HKSYU in the areas of interdisciplinary evidence-based practice;
    5. Strengthen the provision of training and education in evidence-based practice in the vocationally oriented academic programmes;
    6. Establish and enhance links between HKSYU and community partners via the joint development and implementation of evidence-based practice research projects.

    SRS Consortium for Advanced Study in Dynamic Cooperative Games
    The SRS Consortium for Advanced Study in Dynamic Cooperative Games is a joint research initiative for advanced study in dynamic cooperation under the auspices of the Department of Economics and Finance of Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Karelian Institute of Applied Mathematics Research of Russian Academy of Sciences and the Center of Game Theory of St Petersburg State University.

    The SRS Consortium is a joint research initiative for advanced study in dynamic cooperation under the auspices of the Department of Economics and Finance of Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Karelian Institute of Applied Mathematics Research of Russian Academy of Sciences and the Center of Game Theory of St Petersburg State University.

    Game theory is one of the core subjects of decision sciences. To analyze decision making in an interactive environment, it draws on mathematics, statistics, economics, management science, political study and other disciplines. Theoretical research and applications in games are proceeding at increasing pace – in areas ranging from aircraft combat and missile control to market development, environmental planning, natural resources extraction, competition policy, negotiation techniques, capital accumulation, investment and inventory management. Cooperative games aim to achieve socially optimal and group-efficient solutions to decision problems involving strategic action.

    The requirement for the establishment of a genuine institution for advanced study in an academic field is the availability of world-leading expertise in the field. The recent ground-breaking work by members of the SRS Consortium established a generalized theorem for the derivation of analytically tractable subgame consistent solutions and made possible the rigorous study of dynamic stochastic cooperation. It becomes the foundation for further study in the field.
