The competition was held between April 17-19 at the University of Massachusetts Mount Ida campus in the US. As the only Asian business school represented in IBECC, the HKUST Team excelled in addressing the ethical business challenge of “Easing YouTube’s Content Fatigue Problem; Steering towards Balanced Content Recommendations”. They provided strategic recommendations and detailed actionable steps, thereby enhancing YouTube’s sustained ethical leadership in the digital era.
The team extends a special acknowledgment to Prof. Laurence FRANKLIN for his invaluable guidance and advice for the competition.
