Bakker, Lingnan Fellow; Prof M. Jae Moon, Senior Lingnan Scholar; and Prof Li Donghui, Associate Vice-President (Experiential Learning Projects).
The Lingnan University Institute for Advanced Study (LUIAS) held a conferment ceremony on 21 April, to honour two internationally famous scholars. Prof Arnold B. Bakker, a leading authority in work and organisational psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam, was appointed a Lingnan Fellow. Prof M. Jae Moon, an eminent scholar in public management and digital governance from Yonsei University, Korea, received the title of Senior Lingnan Scholar. Both scholars are ranked on the Stanford University World’s Top 2% Scientists list, and this will drive Lingnan University’s endeavours in international research and collaborative exchange.
During their visit, the two scholars delivered formal lectures and held lengthy academic discussions with the University community. Prof Bakker’s “Fast and Slow Leadership” explored the differences between “fast” and “slow” routes of influence leaders seem to use, and analysed strategies to enhance organisational effectiveness. Prof Moon’s “Reimagining Government in the Age of AI: Opportunities and Challenges of Human–AI Collaboration in the Public Sector” offered an in-depth exploration of the future landscape of human–AI collaboration.
