The HKUST Business School held the second PhD Students Research Paper Competition on 16 May 2003. Many PhD students and faculty showed their support to this annual event
and the competition held successfully. It served the objective of promoting an active and competitive research environment in our PhD Programs.

This year the panel received over ten submissions of research papers and the best four papers are selected as finalists to present their papers and answered questions from the faculty and their fellow students during this competition. The panel members were impressed by their good presentation and the high quality research.
