This theme seeks to excavate ESG-related data and information  in e-commerce marketing, supply chain and labor issues in the retail sector.

5. Rural development: regions that were ‘left behind’ in economic development, grassroots innovation, national/regional policy framework for (health or economic) resilience 

We are particularly interested in how these issues are manifested across different communities, societies, or countries. You will also be given a chance to shape research according to your individual interest in areas relevant to the above topics.

In either theme, as a student researcher, you are expected to carry out a number of research activities, such as:

•       Conduct a literature review of relevant scholarly findings and debates.
