Awarded by: China STAFF magazine
Human resources expert Bhaskar Sambamurthy, recently awarded a top management accolade, is quick to credit his studies at HKUST for giving him the background he needed to put his winning ideas into practice.
The 2003 MBA graduate was named Hong Kong's HR Manager of the Year in awards organized by China STAFF magazine, the only bilingual journal specializing solely in human resources management in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland.
Sambamurthy has linked HR and change management with the overall strategic needs of KC Maritime, the company he joined after leaving HKUST. An understanding of company financials, business plans and strategy gained at the School helped him through the process.
