About me
Kevin Chan is a member of the Centre for Enterprise Dynamics in Global Economies (C-EDGE), an academic researcher and a course development assistant at University of South Australia (UniSA) Business. Kevin holds a B.Sc. (Business) degree and an MBA from the University of Manchester. Currently a PhD Candidate at UniSA, his doctoral research aims to identify the salient knowledge intensive precinct assets and processes, and how their interactions and various configurations produce different innovative outputs.
The findings of his research will inform policymakers on how innovative outputs can be optimised through the various configurations of precinct assets and processes. Creating policies that shape the design of external environments, such as precincts, has been crucial to the development of economic activities and productivity. With such policies in place, more targeted economic strategies could be developed to potentially promote positive dynamics among precinct attributes to create greater innovative outputs.
