1. University Level
Interim Head, Department of Management & Marketing, 2018~present
In the year of 2018/19, I led the department as the interim head with a vision of “Embracing the Digital Transformation of Management & Marketing”. The department has obtained a number of achievements as outlined below: o A new incentive scheme to improve GRF/ECS results: We implemented a new incentive scheme to improve the quality of MM colleagues’ GRF/ECS applications.
