Topic: Knowledge Sharing

Dr Ji is a steadfast believer in the use of science to enhance education and innovation.

Dr Chen shares with us what this wealth of data brings to the company and how it can shape the way we buy and transact online. Dr Chen has a hypothesis: that business will follow how we communicate, and hence e-commerce will become a form of social commerce, blurring the lines between selling, advertising and just plain communications. Come listen to how e-commerce will look like 5 years from now.
