The WRDS-SSRN Innovation Award series elevates the visibility of
impact-focused research and the institutions that conduct it. Each year,
awards are presented to rising business schools from North America,
Europe and Asia Pacific regions to highlight innovation and research
excellence. Together, WRDS and SSRN, the world’s leading scholarly
research network, are advancing impact-focused research, changing policy
and practice at regulatory, national and global levels. In addition to
the Innovation Award, the organizations have developed the WRDS Research
Paper Series, a searchable repository of WRDS-cited papers submitted to
SSRN.
As a part of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, WRDS provides the leading business intelligence, data
analytics and research platform to global institutions – enabling
comprehensive thought leadership, historical analysis and insight into
the latest innovations in academic research.
Bob Zarazowski, managing director of WRDS, and Gregg Gordon, managing director of SSRN,
presented the award to Fangruo Chen, Dean of Antai College of Economics
and Management, during the virtual AACSB Asia Pacific Annual Conference.
"WRDS is delighted to recognize and support the impactful research taking
place at Antai College of Economics and Management," said Bob
Zarazowski. "We are pleased to highlight the prominence of their work."
