Dr. Hoong’s research journey began with a deep curiosity about how businesses and society grapple with rapid technological change. While working in business and policy environments, he became increasingly aware of the tensions organizations face in balancing innovation with responsibility.

His research now focuses on how firms—particularly internationally operating businesses—respond to socio-technical innovations such as AI and cybersecurity.
