My research interest is to study the impact of disruptive innovation on public governance. I want to closely examine how the technology revolution has changed, reshaped and transformed public governance. I want to study various solutions and ideas put forward to mitigate and control this “gale of creative destruction”. In particular, I want to see how the unique Chinese model of governance will evolve with the use of information technology.
