Shiguang FU’s Summary
As a project lead and research director, I am looking forward to contribute more of my passion, ability and various experience in the creative and world-changing corporations and innovations. My major works focus on TMT industry (especially the online business optimization, online community, mobile application, e-education) and management consulting. I am in charge of the research and analysis of the potential investment cases of which criteria include social and economic environment, industry background (market and technology tendency), and corporate profile (business strategy, human capital, finance situation/forecast, competitive advantage, and management skills). Besides, I also take part in the the processes of valuation, due diligence, performance monitor, and business strategy calibration.
As a social and political researcher, I concentrate on two correlated areas. One is the social, policy, legal, and economic environments of innovation and implementation of new technology, specially the information and communication technology (ICT). Another is the fundamental investigation on the motivation, mechanism, repertoire, and effect of policy-making in both China and its outside world under both micro- and macro-economic and history perspectives.
I would also like to contribute my passion and knowledge on green and healthy life for ordinary people. I, by self-learning, created a comprehensive set of new life styles and successfully managed to lose weight of more than 45 kg in one and a half year. I am so willing to spread these ideas and experiences to others who suffer the overweight and overstress.
