Biography

Prof. Bo Yang is an Assistant Professor in Management and Strategy at HKU Business School. His research addresses a central question: How can firms effectively engage with various nonmarket stakeholders in external institutional environments—including government agencies, political parties, and activist groups—to manage sociopolitical risks rising from domestic politics and/or geopolitical tensions? By combining insights from strategic management, international business, and comparative politics, he has developed multiple research projects aimed at understanding how firms can achieve better performance by integrating market and nonmarket strategies in an ever-changing sociopolitical landscape. He earned his Ph.D. in Management from the University of Southern California and his B.A. in Economics from Fudan University.
