Lectures:	Lecture 1: Data-Driven Operations Management Prof. Kai PAN DBM Programme Deputy Director Associate Professor, Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies The rapid evolution of new technologies and data-driven strategies is transforming the business landscape. This lecture will explore how to seamlessly integrate these powerful tools into business operations, boosting efficiency and effectiveness. We will explore key technologies, such as AI, machine learning, and big data analytics, examining their role in optimising processes, reducing costs, and improving decision-making. We will also illustrate their impact through diverse industrial applications, including supply chain management, sustainable operations, precision marketing, and urban transportation. Lecture 2: 'Aegis' - Blockchain, Cybersecurity and Data Breach Risk: A Double-edged Sword? Prof. Jimmy JIN Assistant Dean (Fund-raising and Development), Faculty of Business Professor, Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies Blockchain technology has generated immense interest and investment across various industries, widely recognised as a disruptive innovation capable of mitigating operational risks and revolutionising traditional business practices. Yes, its decentralised nature has sparked a crucial debate: does it truly enhance cybersecurity, or does it introduce new risks? This lecture will explore this critical question by presenting compelling research that examines the real effects of blockchain implementation on cybersecurity risks. It will uncover surprising insights into how blockchain adoption can have unexpected, dual-edged implications for a firm’s cybersecurity, initially increasing data breach risks – especially those originating from within the organisation – but leading to a decrease in these risks over time as firms adapt. Notably, attendees will learn how external breach risks show an earlier reduction. This lecture promises to offer valuable insights into navigating the complex and evolving landscape of blockchain and its impact on cybersecurity.
