In her eyes, business – the core of productivity and economic growth – should embrace a “biological capability” to generate both economic and non-economic values. Doctor Ying Zhang, originally from China, with a background in industrial engineering, economics and management, is an Associate Dean for China Business & Relations and a tenured Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. In 2015, Professor Zhang was recognized as "Best 40 Under 40" Business School Professors worldwide awarded by Poets & Quants. Professor Zhang is also founder and Head of the Erasmus-Huawei Collaboration Program which aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing between technology, innovation, business development and education in order to add value to the local social-economic community. Her role as an educator directly influenced Zhang’s most recent research on the value of social business and the role of education in creating a social environment which includes individual responsibility in crafting a sustainable society – what professor Zhang’s TEDtalk will focus on. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
