Profile
Jing joined IEED in Sep 2005. Before that she worked as a
research fellow and visiting lecturer at Cass Business School, City
University London.
She received her PhD in Business Policy from the National University
of Singapore in 2004, and her Bachelor and Masters from Renmin
University of China. She has worked with the Strategy Department
at Legend Group in Beijing.
Legend Group:
Since it was established, the company has affected the lives of
millions of Chinese: It first introduced PCs to households, then
promoted PC usage in China by establishing retail shops
nationwide. It also developed the pioneering Legend
Chinese Character Card that translated English operating
software into Chinese characters, and achieved breakthroughs
like PCs with one-button access to the Internet.
By 1994, Legend was trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange;
four years later, it produced its one-millionth personal
computer. In 2003, Legend changed its brand name to
Lenovo, taking the "Le" from Legend, a nod to its
heritage, and adding "novo", the Latin word for
"new", to reflect the spirit of innovation at the core
of the company. The company name changed from Legend to Lenovo
a year later. |
