ANNUAL REPORT

2023-2024

NYU Shanghai Center for Business Education and Research

1. Message from the Director

Over the past year, CBER has continued to excel in fostering a vibrant academic environment, marked by our commitment to faculty research, the introduction of business education, high-impact communication events, and meaningful industry engagement. It is noticeable that we are able to achieve those goal with limited budget.

In AY 2023-2024, CBER has hosted a series of seminars and conferences that have fostered intellectual exchange and collaboration and brought together leading scholars and practitioners from around the world. These events have facilitated the exchange of cutting-edge ideas and provided a platform for our community members to proceed at the forefront of their respective fields and provide valuable insights into pressing global issues. Notable among these are the seminars with speakers from top-notch global universities, including Princeton, Harvard, the National University of Singapore, the University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University. The annual CBER Forum on Climate Change and Business Innovation was another well-received highlight with around 200 attendees, featuring Nobel Laureate Robert F. Engle and other prominent figures discussing sustainable business practices.

Regarding initiatives, CBER has successfully established new funds, such as the Yu Yu Faculty Global Engagement Fund and the Yu Yu Student Exchange Empowerment Fund. These funds are designed to provide our students and faculty with invaluable global perspectives imported by NYU Stern faculty and PhD candidates and opportunities to build unique networks between the two institutions.

In communication and engagement, CBER has made significant strides. The 6th Shanghai Marketing Science Salon and the Business Frontier Talks have strengthened our ties with Chinese universities, expatriate organizations, and industry partners. The CUHK Business student group's orientation experience at NYU Shanghai has led to a partnership between the two universities. Hosting the visit from Insper, Brazil's leading business school, offered students from Latin America firsthand knowledge of the American university experience in China. The newly launched column "567讲消费" is an insightful and impactful platform that delves into the evolving dynamics of consumer behavior and market trends in China.

In conclusion, the past academic year has been a testament to CBER's dedication to advancing business education and research. Our accomplishments have not only contributed to the academic community but have also had a broader impact. As we look ahead, we are excited about the opportunities to continue our mission and further our center's growth and influence in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Chen Yuxin

Distinguished Global Professor of Business

Director, Center for Business Education and Research

2. Annual Progress

2.1. What’s New

This past year has been marked by innovative initiatives at CBER, reflecting our dedication to fostering an environment of innovation, global engagement, and academic rigor at NYU Shanghai.

New Funds Established: We are proud to announce the establishment of the Yu Yu Faculty Global Engagement Fund and the Yu Yu Student Exchange Empowerment Fund, active from January 2024 to January 2027. These funds are instrumental in providing our faculty and students with valuable global perspectives and opportunities to build unparalleled networks with NYU Stern. NYU Stern senior professor Ari Ginsberg, Jiawei Zhang, and Yakov Amihud are among the first invitees to visit NYU Shanghai in 2024. These efforts, in turn, have significantly enhanced our global reach and impact.

Annual Forum on Climate Change and Business Innovation: On June 02, 2024, we hosted the CBER annual forum themed "Climate Change and Business Innovation," co-organized with the NYU Shanghai Volatility Institute. This year, the forum resumed in-person format after a four-year hiatus. It featured prominent speakers such as Robert F. Engle, 2003 Nobel Laureate in Economics, Xiaoming Lai, Chairman of Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange, and distinguished guest speakers, focusing on business innovations related to climate change, providing critical insights into current trends and prospects.

International Collaboration and Exchange: We have strengthened our international collaborations through pivotal communication and exchange events. On August 30, 2023, CBER hosted a group of students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Global Business Program who visited NYU Shanghai. The CUHK students took the opportunity to engage with our faculty members and leadership in the provost office, including Yuxin Chen, Diane Geng, and Raymond Ro. Furthermore, on January 15, 2024, we welcomed a student delegation group from Insper, co-hosted by Professor Rodrigo Zeidan, fostering further academic exchanges with students from Latin America. These efforts underscored the importance of understanding different cultures and the global economic landscape.

New Op-ed Column: The CBER column in Chinese, "567讲消费," embarks on intriguing analyses of consumption trends in China. Recent articles have explored a variety of topics, from the intersection of sports and consumer behavior related to the Olympics to the revival of traditional Chinese culture in modern consumption patterns. These writings are a great source for readers to learn the dynamic and evolving nature of consumer trends in China.

2.2. Research Highlights of the Year

CBER does not provide direct funding for academic research because its primary mission is not centered around being a pure 'research center'. Instead, the center prioritizes the advancement of business education and strives to enrich the business community by disseminating NYU Shanghai's original business knowledge and research findings to diverse stakeholders.

For example, together with the University Communication, we published a comprehensive report on NYU Shanghai's Business and Economics Honors Program. This symbolic program offers undergraduate students the chance to conduct advanced research usually undertaken at the graduate level. This includes its multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach and opportunities to collaborate with faculty mentors on the thesis that contributes meaningful progress to business and economics. The article was published on NYU Shanghai's communicational platforms in both English and Chinese, with much attention drawn from the public.

2.3. People

CBER's team comprises all business faculty and staff, a few faculty members from NYU Stern, and three external advisors. We appreciate each member's engagement and potential contribution to the center and their intellectual and practical assets. However, due to individualized constraints such as time conflict, project planning span, and area of interest, we fully understand that only some members could participate in CBER's events and initiatives this year.

Please refer to the appendix below to learn about our current team and their participation/contribution to CBER this year. For faculty members and external contributors who host/co-hosted or participated in an event, their names are marked in the color of violet in the appendix.

2.4. Financial Summary of the Center

2.4.1. External Funding

The Yu Yu Funds, comprising the Yu Yu Faculty Global Engagement Fund and the Yu Yu Student Exchange Empowerment Fund, are important external funding sources claimed by NYU Shanghai development for CBER. The CBER admin team worked with Development and Finance in designing the fund's purpose, defining beneficial groups, and developing use guidelines.

These funds are designated to support academic and research activities, with specific allocations for international travel, accommodations, research resources, and discretionary use for invited NYU Stern faculty members and students. The budgets are part of a comprehensive financial plan to facilitate international academic exchange and research visits in business between NYU Stern students and NYU Shanghai.

2.4.2. Collaborative Grant Projects

CBER is not positioned as a "research center" and does not actively seek research grants.

2.5. Center-Related Publication

CBER operates beyond the conventional model of a "research center," serving as a platform rather than directly funding faculty research through grants. Consequently, we have never required our affiliated faculty to recognize the center's support in their work.

2.6. Education and Training

2.6.1. Postdocs and graduate students in training

n/a.

2.6.2. How does the center contribute to teaching and other educational activities at NYU Shanghai?

Overall, CBER contributes to the university's educational landscape by providing a platform through various means, including business research seminars, business frontier talk series, CBER annual forum, and engagement with the broader business community. These activities are designed to enhance the academic environment and provide valuable learning opportunities for students and faculty. Some key contributions include:

The center organizes and hosts numerous research seminars on topics in business, finance, management, and marketing. These events feature presentations by faculty members and guest speakers from prestigious institutions, fostering an environment of academic exchange and collaboration.

We host a wealth of guest lectures and forum presentations on state-of-the-art topics such as climate change, business innovation, and sustainability. These events provide students with insights into current trends and challenges in the business world and opportunities to engage with leading experts and practitioners.

Meanwhile, CBER engages with renowned external institutes through various events, including delegation visits and an exchange program. These activities are designed to promote cross-cultural understanding and academic collaboration.

2.7. Engagement and Impact

2.7.1. Center Visibility

In 2023-2024, the center organized a variety of initiatives and activities as outlined in the provided appendix that have boosted our visibility. In particular:

The center's invitation and hosting of prominent figures have not only provided a platform for cutting-edge discussions but have also attracted attention from the academic community and beyond. CBER's regular research seminars and academic salons, exemplified by "The 6th Marketing Science Salon of Shanghai Universities," have facilitated knowledge sharing and collaboration, reinforcing CBER's reputation as a discussion platform.

Furthermore, CBER's commitment to staying at the forefront of business education and research is further highlighted by its Annual Forum and Business Frontier Talks, which feature experts discussing current business topics. The active involvement of NYU Shanghai's senior leadership, underscores the center's efforts within the university's ecosystem. This leadership engagement, coupled with the establishment of exchange programs funded by the "Yu Yu Faculty Global Engagement Fund" and "Yu Yu Student Exchange Empowerment Fund," showcases CBER's dedication to fostering overseas connections and visibility.

Through coverage of its events, programs, and faculty work across both the university-level and center-level channels, CBER's presence has largely broadened its reach and solidified its influence. Namely, the article on NYU Shanghai's Business and Economics Honors Program: Tackling Research at the Graduate Level, and the recent article column on consumption trends in China, "567讲消费". These attempts provide a medium for CBER to engage with the broader public, promoting business education and research life at NYU Shanghai, as well as analyzing and interpreting real market dynamics.

2.7.2. Scholarly Exchanges

2.7.2.1. Notable Center-hosted Events

Below are the three highlighted events for CBER in 2023-2024. Overall, these events addressed pressing global and regional issues, brought together high-profile speakers and diverse stakeholders, and contributed significantly to the academic and practical discourse in business education and research at NYU Shanghai and beyond.

The talk event featured Wen Hai, a prominent figure in the field of economics with a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of China's economic landscape. As the Chair Professor of Economics and Founding Dean of Peking University HSBC Business School, Professor Hai's nuanced examination of China's current and future economic situation is highly anticipated. His insights explored the complex interplay of economic, technological, and developmental factors that are crucial for China's transition into a global economic powerhouse. Given the challenges posed by the recent pandemic, shifts in globalization, and investor confidence issues, Professor Hai's perspective on anticipated rebounds in mobility and economic activity is particularly relevant. His expertise and the event's focus on China's economic trajectory make it a significant opportunity for the full house of domestic and international students to gain valuable insights into China's role in the global economy and its potential impact on the world stage.

2.7.2.2. Notable Center Visitors

1) Ari Ginsberg

NYU Stern Professor of Entrepreneurship and Management Ari Ginsberg visited CBER under the sponsorship of the Yu Yu Faculty Global Engagement Fund, endorsed by his distinguished academic background and contributions to the field of entrepreneurship and management. Professor Ginsberg was the former Chair of the Management and Organizations Department and Director of the Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. He holds an Affiliate Professor appointment in the Technology Innovation and Management Department at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, where he previously served as Academic Director of the Management of Technology Master of Science Program.

Professor Ginsberg's expertise in entrepreneurship and management, particularly in the context of climate technology startups, enriched the discussions at CBER's 2024 Annual Forum "Climate Change and Business Innovation."His insights into the landscape of climate tech, especially in NYC, provided new perspectives on how businesses can innovate in response to climate change. His encouragement of cross-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration aligns with CBER's mission to foster an integrated approach to research and problem-solving for the long-term good of society.

2) Yacine Ait-Sahalia

Yacine Ait-Sahalia is the Otto Hack 1903 Professor of Finance and Economics at Princeton University. His primary area of research is financial econometrics. He was the inaugural director of the Bendheim Center for Finance at Princeton University. Professor Ait-Sahalia presented a research seminar titled Asset Pricing in An Economy with Changing Sentiment and Price Feedback to the CBER community.

His primary research area, financial econometrics, encourages an interdisciplinary approach essential for addressing complex financial phenomena and understanding and predicting market dynamics. His paper suggests new insights into asset pricing models incorporating changing sentiment and price feedback. Such research enriches the knowledge of market behavior and has practical implications for investment strategies and financial decision-making. During his visit, multiple one-on-one meetings were scheduled between him and the junior faculty members at NYU Shanghai Business. That was an invaluable opportunity for our young faculty to network with a leading figure in the field, potentially leading to future collaborations and enhancing each other's research profile.

3) Lola Woetzel

Dr. Lola Woetzel will fully join NYU Shanghai in Fall 2024 as a Visiting Professor in Global China Studies and Business. Before this academic appointment, she engaged with CBER in contributing to the intelligence aspect of CBER's annual forum and designing a lecture series for the coming semester. Her presence would elevate the profile of events and discussions at NYU Shanghai, attracting more attention and participation from the community and beyond. Through lectures, seminars, or workshops, Dr.Woetzel could enrich the intellectual environment by bringing diverse viewpoints and experiences, offering opportunities for mentorship and guidance to students, and helping them navigate their academic and professional paths.

As a fierce figure in life and professionalism, Dr. Lola Woetzel is a senior partner emerita of McKinsey & Company. She was a director of the McKinsey Global Institute and led McKinsey's Cities Special Initiative. As one of McKinsey's leaders in developing its Asia practice, Dr. Woetzel opened the Shanghai location in 1995 and has been a resident since then. She has led research on China, Asia, and global economic and business trends and has extensive experience developing strategies and organizations for companies and government institutions.

2.8. Other Significant Development

A study report on "The facts and numbers of the professional degree master education in China" was written by CBER in Spring 2024. The report provides insights into the professional degree master's education market in China, a source to understand this sector's demand, competition, and opportunities. An understanding of this market can help the center tailor its offerings to discover potential needs. We can leverage the information and data provided in the report to enhance CBER's strategic planning, foster partnerships, and ultimately increase revenue for the long haul.
