北島教授講座 (2010年3月19日)
「想像與創造的空間」
講座摘要
在香港這樣一個高度商業化物質化的大都市，如何使詩歌與嚴肅文學倖存下去，如何使其成為市民特別是年輕人精神生活的日常形態，如何彌補正規教育中創造性與想像力的不足，這是每個居住在香港的作家和知識份子必須共同面對的問題。
由於香港獨特的歷史背景、社會政治形態及地理位置，由於多語種多種族並存的國際化所需的條件，香港不僅有可能成為國際文化交流的重要平台，甚至有可能成為大中華地區漢語文學與文化的中心之一。然而，為達此目的，絕不能過度依賴香港政府、私人財團或教育機構，而是要以民間的力量為主，借助並協調各方的資源，逐漸改變香港惡劣的文化生態環境。

「良好管治－香港在建設中國金融市場所扮演的角色」
講座摘要
雖然內地企業來港上巿可大大提升發展潛力，但他們的管治架構卻對其融入香港巿場造成一定障礙。黃德尊教授將分析這些障礙與內地企業營運環境之間錯綜複雜的關係。此外，他將探討香港巿場對內地上巿公司的價值。相比上海和深圳巿場，香港的資訊自由流通，能提供高水準的金融專業服務，有助內地企業改善公司管治。
Despite the tremendous growth opportunities of the Chinese firms listed in Hong Kong, they have distinct challenges in their governance structures. Professor Wong will first explain that these distinct challenges are intricately linked with the economic environment in which these firms operate. He will then discuss the value of the Hong Kong market to these Chinese listed firms. As compared with the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets, the Hong Kong market that facilitates free flow of information and emphasizes high degree of professionalism helps to improve the Chinese firms' corporate governance.
