The Kwok Leung Memorial Dissertation
PhD in Business (Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources) candidate LANG Ting Ting's proposal on "Understanding the Gender Gap in Entrepreneurial Financing: Impact of Gender-Role Incongruity and Cultural Tightness" has received the highest ratings and is one amongst the five proposals who have received the Kwok Leung Memorial Dissertation Fund grant.
On her thoughts after winning the Kwok Leung Memorial Dissertation Fund Grant, Ting Ting shared, "Winning the Kwok Leung Memorial Dissertation Grant is a great opportunity to introduce my research. The process of applying for this grant helps craft my research ideas. Also, it allows me to think more about how to design and conduct research that could both contribute to the theory and introduce important practical implications, as the grant encourages research to solve social issues. I’d like to thank my advisor, Prof Roy Chua, for guiding me through the process of grant application and encouraging me to explore research ideas targeting at important social issues. Also, I would like to recommend PhD students in early years to participate in activities like this, looking for opportunities to craft and present their research."
