At the 2026 Annual Conference of Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation Alliance of Guangdong- Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area-Empowering Innovation in Supply Chain and Logistics Management with Artificial Intelligence (LSCIAGBA 2026), hosted by Guangdong University of Foreign Studies from 30 October to 1 November 2026, the paper “Towards Smart Resilience: A Mechanism Study of AI-Driven Supply Chain Resilience Governance”, co-authored by Xia Wu, a second-year DBA student, and her supervisor, Professor Yihui Tian, stood out in the academic forum “AI+ Empowering Supply Chain and Logistics Management Innovation” and won both the Best Paper Award (First Prize) and the Best Presentation Award (Second Prize).
The forum was organized by the Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation Alliance of Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area and brought together nationally distinguished young scholars, experts and academics, as well as industry leaders and corporate representatives, to explore the latest research findings, innovative applications and future trends of artificial intelligence in supply chain and logistics management.
Reflecting after the conference, Xia Wu said: "Every paper, from selecting a topic to producing a final draft, involves repeated scrutiny, additional data collection, model revision — and then starting over again. To stand in a forum like this and hear leading scholars and peers present their latest research was a rare 'academic feast' in my doctoral years. The discussions on smart logistics and sustainable development showed me how deeply a single question can be pursued: topics I had assumed were already exhausted still hold so much that remains unexplored. Research is a long road, and to keep going and to do better is the only thing I can promise."
This year's conference provided a high-level platform for academia–industry exchange, promoted the deep integration of AI technologies into supply chain and logistics management, and advanced the coordinated development of theoretical innovation and practical application.
Xia Wu's award not only demonstrates her academic grounding and innovative capacity in the field of smart logistics, but also reflects the notable achievements of the Faculty of Business in talent development and research strength. The Faculty will continue to take serving Macau and the Greater Bay Area as its mission, building on its three strategic pillars of digitalization, sustainability and cross-cultural understanding: advancing interdisciplinary and cross-functional development through collaborative co-creation, sparking innovation through diversity and inclusion, and upholding evidence-based inquiry and critical thinking through academic rigor — so that students, grounded in real business contexts, can use Macau as a bridge connecting China and the world.
At the same time, the Faculty of Business hopes that every student will step into the venue of an academic conference — to hear the debates at the frontier, to present their own research, and to meet fellow scholars. Horizons open through exchange, and scholarship grows through the clash of ideas. These experiences steadily build momentum for professional growth and academic development.
