Ken Wong, Queen’s Business School

Ken Wong, Queen’s Business School

Retiring [not retired] Professor Ken Wong from the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University talks about his early immersion in the family business [Wong Wing grew from egg rolls in 1948 Montreal’s Chinatown to Canada’s largest processor of Chinese food], sharing the mantle of ‘media’s marketing go-to guy’ with Alan Middleton, the ‘friendly rivalry’ between Western and Queen’s [yep, he couldn’t resist and snuck a dig in there!], the importance of the numerous business school rankings ['be #1 in at least one of them & then ignore the rest of them'], why teaching at its highest level is actually performance art, shout-outs to some of his former students that have made it big, what he has advised all his past students to leave in their bottom right hand desk drawer, and why he does NOT have a retirement bucket list!
