Biography


Yanbo Wang is an Associate Professor of Strategy and Innovation at the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on technology-based entrepreneurship, particularly examining how institutions influence strategic decisions, organizational structures, and financial performance of startup firms. He’s currently studying the design, implementation, and impact of innovation policy programs, with a particular focus on judgement formation and information aggregation in expert evaluation of early-stage startup firms. He also conducts research on academic entrepreneurship, venture capital, as well as the cross-border flow of scientific knowledge and talents between China and the West in an increasingly politicized world. Dr. Wang has served as a senior editor of Organization Science and editorial board member of Administrative Science Quarterly, Research Policy, and Strategic Management Journal. He is also an executive board member of the Asia Innovation and Entrepreneurship Association (AIEA) and has published in academic journals such as Management Science, Science, Strategic Management Journal, and Administrative Science Quarterly.
