The growing influence of knowledge economy, cultural industries, and creative cities has become a global trend. This is evident in Hong Kong, where there has been increasing concerns regarding city branding, creative activities, and the role of art and culture in social development since the turn of the century. Changes in media, art, and culture have to be placed in a broader vision of urban and

social transformation and public concern has subsequently solidified in three policy areas:

1. Branding Hong Kong as Asia’s world city, with media, culture, and creativity as the key transformative forces regarding the relationships among the market, the state, and cultural workers and citizens.

2. Linking Hong Kong with other creative cities to seek future developments and synergies of inter-Asia and transnational cultural circuits in a shifting geopolitical context.

3. Positioning Hong Kong’s unique cultural identity, whereby Chinese cultural traditions and British colonial legacies mingle with the diversities of other cultures, with its intriguing debates on collective memory, cultural heritage, and city regeneration. In many ways these debates regarding media, culture, and creative city development have become more pertinent with the rapidly strengthening ties between Hong Kong and Mainland cities. Their repercussions also extend beyond China to the entire Asian region, reflecting deeper patterns of shifting regional and global cultural dynamics. These shifts include the rise of the knowledge economy, the pe*******on of global media and IT, a growing emphasis on “cultural economies” in modern societies, and more intense strategic competition among nations and places. These changes have major implications for tourism, the built environment, art and cultural development, heritage preservation, corporate responsibility, community participation, and modes of public governance. All this calls for efforts to understand the issues involved and develop visions and strategies for sustainable city and social development in the 21st century.

獎學金推動進修決定 知識人脈皆長進
鄧安恩(Victoria)
香港大學社會科學碩士(媒體、文化及創意城市)

Victoria形容,藉進修提升個人競爭力,有利事業發展。
Victoria本科修讀心理學,現於一間市場研究顧問公司擔任研究經理,負責定量市場研究。Victoria笑言多謝網路搜尋引擎,讓她在搜集進修資訊時,得悉獎學金計劃。「本地研究生課程所費不菲,如沒有獎學金,我很大機會打消進修的念頭。」

Victoria指,獎學金計劃鞏固了她對市場研究行業的發展志向,不單讓她學到設計問卷及數據分析的實際技巧,同時鼓勵她在工作上結合學到的理論及思考模式。「課程教授的社會學知識讓我以更宏觀的角度詮釋消費者的心理及行為,並啟發我將數據、社會文化及科技連結起來,更全面地協助客戶了解最新的市場趨勢及機遇。」

建立人脈,是她另一個進修收穫,「認識到從事市場推廣工作的同學,他們正正是我研究工作的真正用家。透過交流,能夠知道他們平日如何使用研究數據,有助我調整工作內容,讓數據及分析更切合用家所需。」Victoria表示,日後或會進修更高深的數碼營銷數據分析、用戶體驗設計等,以應對大數據科技的發展趨勢。

她鼓勵今年獎學金申請者,嘗試把目前的工作性質、需要的能力與報讀課程內容串連起來,並展示對行業的抱負,增加成功申請獎學金的機會。
