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.

Mr. Lai has a deep interest in studying the governance of public organizations and exploring ways to connect public sector organizations, such as schools, with local and global communities. He believes the DPA Programme at the University of Hong Kong will equip him with the necessary tenets of contemporary public administration for the challenges of his community service. This DPA Programme will allow him to develop the academic and professional networks that will enrich his experience and support his community work.
