Professor Chan suggested that after last year’s global credit crunch, the world has begun to focus more closely on the Asian market. The government is maintaining favorable fiscal policies, and with the rapid development of China’s economy, it is expected that more international financial institutions will look to develop their Hong Kong operations. This should, in turn, bring ample opportunities for business and accounting graduates. He encouraged students to be well equipped and to improve their language skills to meet the challenges and exploit the Professor Chan’s talk was opportunities ahead. part of the School’s Special Lecture Series in Economics and Finance sponsored by Mr. Lau Chor-tak (middle). 4 THE NEWSLETTER OF SCHOOL OF BUSINESS May 2010 SCHOOL NEWS BUSINESS BRIDGE Welfare Chief and experts discuss minimum wage legislation at HKBU forum The Department of Management of School of Business hosted the forum on “Meeting the Challenges: Implementation of the Minimum Wage Legislation in Hong Kong” on April 22, 2010. Mr. Cheung Kin-chung (right), Secretary for Labour and Welfare of the HKSAR Government, and Professor Ng Ching- fai, President and Vice-chancellor of Hong Kong Baptist University, officiated the forum. Mr. Lam Woon-kwong, Chairperson of the Equal Opportunities Commission and 6 other experts from different sectors have been invited to be speakers at the forum. They have come together to scrutinize the arguments and concerns both in favour of and against legislating for minimum wages. Speaking at the forum, Mr. Cheung Kin-chung said the minimum wage legislation needed to provide a balance between employers and employees. It had to guarantee a reasonable salary without impacting the employment rates of lower-paid workers, while taking into consideration possible negative effects on the mobility of the labour market. Mr. Cheung also said the Provisional Minimum Wage Commission was still determining the wage levels and the government had yet to have any preconceived ideas. The forum was organised and prepared by Year 3 students of the Department of Management. Professor Randy Chiu, Chairman of Organising Committee of the forum, thanked the effort and time the students committed and stressed that this is a good opportunity for students to express their concerns about the community, and to put their professional knowledge to meaningful use. Speakers of the forum: Mr. Cheung Kin-chung, GBS, JP Dr. Kelvin Wong Secretary for Labour and Welfare of the HKSAR Chairman, The Hong Kong Institute of Director Ms. Christine M S Fang, JP Chief Executive, Dr. Felix Yip The Hong Kong Council of Social Service President, Hong Kong People Management Association Mr. Fung Kin-kee, SBS, JP Legislative

  • KPU Instructors Produce 'Ear Savers' for Local Hospital
    KPU Instructors produce ‘ear savers’ for local hospital The images are all over social media. Doctors and nurses wearing masks for prolonged periods of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, with one of the results being pain and discomfort around the ears. To help ease some of that pain, instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) have produced 1,000 “ear savers” for healthcare professionals at Vancouver General Hospital. “The idea with these straps is that the masks are just held around the head,” says Victor Martinez, a product design instructor at KPU’s Wilson School of Design. This relieves pressure on healthcare workers’ ears. Martinez and a group of KPU faculty and students are using 3D printers to produce the ear savers – adhering to proper physical distancing measures as they work. The printers are running about 15 hours a day. The ear savers attach the mask straps that would otherwise go around the ears to small notches on the plastic devices, which then wraps around the head easing the discomfort behind the ears. This small project is part of a wider global commitment to responding to issues and concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers on the front line of the pandemic. “Victor has been diligently and tirelessly working on possible PPE solutions since the initial need was first announced,” says Andhra Goundrey, dean of the Wilson School of Design. While balancing the transition to online teaching and finishing the spring semester remotely, Martinez worked with an existing design to create the straps. Given his background in design and 3D printing, he wanted to do something to help front line workers.
