Written in gold on a five-foot-long black wood panel, the characters hung high in the middle of our family hall. Household names traditionally highlighted each family’s values and aspirations, and ours were chung and hao — loyalty to the emperor and filial piety. -

Typology of Strategic Marketing Management for Universities-In-Transition
TYPOLOGY OF STRATEGIC MARKETING MANAGEMENT FOR UNIVERSITIES-IN-TRANSITION Sandra Shouming LIU PhD Policy Studies Institute of Education University of London ABSTRACT The unification of the higher education system of both the UK and Hong Kong has brought traditional universities and other types of institutions into a single entity. However, important differences of status and reputation remain, particularly in respect with research. Meanwhile, socio-economic development is calling for a more highly skilled labour force and this is causing a rapidly rising social demand for university-level education. Individual universities are experiencing tension from both unification and massification. As institutions experience changes in their discourse of higher education and finding mechanisms, scanning of both internal and external environments is essential for institutions to formulate their missions and pursue their goals and objectives. These transitions call for consideration and an emergent strategic development. The thesis reports an extensive investigation of established knowledge and recent debates on the discourse of higher education, business principles of strategic marketing management and existing practices of marketing in universities. On this basis, the researcher postulates a taxonomy of Management According to Positioning (M.A.P.) for universities to map holistically their academic programme portfolios so as to plan resources generation and effective deployment of these resources in accordance with the selected programmes without losing sight of higher education's inherent role of social responsibility and public accountability. Because of this role, marketing by universities needs to be different from other providers of services. As competition becomes keener, there is a trend for universities to establish formal marketing organisations for income generation-related activities, such as public relations, development campaigns and student recruitment. -

Administration's Paper on Review of Self-Financing Post-Secondary
LC Paper No. CB(4)577/18-19(06) For discussion on 1 March 2019 Legislative Council Panel on Education Review of Self-financing Post-secondary Education Purpose This paper briefs Members on the recommendations of the Task Force on Review of Self-financing Post-secondary Education (the Task Force) and the Government’s follow-up actions. Background 2. The Chief Executive announced in her 2017 Policy Address to set up several task forces to carry out in-depth reviews on eight key areas of education, amongst which self-financing post-secondary education is one. The Task Force was subsequently established in October 2017 to consider the overall role and function of the self-financing post-secondary education sector in serving the long term education and manpower needs of Hong Kong; and review major issues of concern pertinent to the ecology of the self-financing sector, including the role of the self-financing operation of subvented institutions vis-à-vis self-financing post-secondary institutions, and the future development of sub-degree programmes. 3. During the course of the review, the Task Force had widely engaged stakeholders and conducted public consultation from June to August 2018. It had also made reference to the experience of other economies. The Task Force submitted its review report to the Government on 27 December 2018. The full report of the Task Force is enclosed at the Annex. Key Observations and Recommendations of the Task Force 4. The Task Force takes the view that the self-financing post- secondary education sector is a vital part of the tertiary education ecosystem in Hong Kong, complementing the publicly-funded higher 1 education sector, not only by providing more education opportunities, but also by injecting new perspectives and diversity in programme choices. -

Eight years later, on 30 October 2018, HSMC was granted approval by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to change its name from “Hang Seng Management College” to “The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong”. HSUHK aspires to be a leading private liberal-arts-oriented university in the region, recognised for excellence in teaching, learning and research, serving and advancing our society and the world. HSUHK has five Schools - Business, Communication, Decision Sciences, Humanities and Social Science, and Translation, with a student population of around 5,800 and 200 full-time academic staff members. HSUHK features a primary focus on undergraduate education, top-quality faculty members, award-winning green campus facilities, innovative degree programmes, unique residential college system combining living and learning, interactive small class teaching, very close student-teacher relationship, RGC-funded impactful research, and excellent student development/support services.

Kite Codes : Design, Analysis, and Extensions
In Favour of Posting THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG Institute of Network Coding and Department of Information Engineering Seminar Kite Codes : Design, Analysis, and Extensions by Prof. Xiao Ma (馬嘯教授) Sun Yat-sen University Date : 28 September 2011 (Wednesday) Time : 2:30 - 3:30 pm Venue : Room 833, Ho Sin Hang Engineering Building The Chinese University of Hong Kong Abstract We talk about a new ensemble of rateless forward error correction (FEC) codes, called Kite codes. Kite codes are a special class of prefix rateless low-density parity-check (PRLDPC) codes, which can generate potentially infinite (or as many as required) random-like parity-check bits. The performance of the Kite codes under maximum likelihood (ML) decoding can be analyzed by computing the ensemble weight enumerating functions (WEF). We propose a simulation-based optimization method as well as density evolution (DE) using Gaussian approximations (GA) to design the Kite codes. Three approaches are then presented to improve the design of Kite codes, resulting in good rate-compatible codes with rates varying continuously from 0.05 to 0.9 for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. First, to lower down the error-floors of the original Kite codes in the high-rate region, we propose a row-weight concentration approach. Secondly, to narrow the gap between the performance of the original Kite codes and the Shannon limits in the low-rate region, we propose an accumulator randomization approach. Thirdly, to simplify the design of Kite codes, we present an empirical formula for the p-sequence. Simulation results show that, when combined with adaptive modulation, the improved Kite codes perform well in a wide range of signal- to-noise-ratios (SNRs).
