Many classmates attended both onsite and online. Prof.
Pang’s first part of the lecture was extended his presentation in the 11th

Management as “Integrate resources to achieve the established goals” (整合資源，達成既定目標．)

Finally, he employed Chinese Culture to define Quality like
water (上善若水) and striving for perfection
(止於至善).

briefed the key points of "Six Wisdom Management"《六慧管理》
• The
path to wisdom begins with sincerity (智慧之道，誠為終始)

yourself and others, have insight into the world (自知知⼈，洞察世情)
• Concentrate
your mind and will, knowing what to choose (凝神養志，知所取捨)
• Assess
the situation and decide on a strategy (審時度勢，慮定謀略)
• Learn
from the past to know the present, deep thinking the truth (鑒古知今，窮理深思)

leadership, change, and crisis management. With AI's rise, mastering constant
principles amid change is crucial.”
