Can-Seng Ooi

It's almost summer in Copenhagen and I am in tropical Singapore - greetings!

This is a personal website. I teach and conduct research at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS). My research investigations often compare Denmark, Singapore and China. What a joyful privilege to be in the research community!

As a firm believer of making research relevant to the practice community, one of my most fulfilling tasks is engaging practitioners. I thus disseminate my findigns to policy makers, conduct cross-cultural training, advise business persons on strategies and teach in executive education programmes. Currently, I sit on the eight-member International Advisory Board of the Yinchuan Arts Centre, China.

Shall we start a dialogue?

The arts are being celebrated and promoted in Singapore. Despite the attention and increased resources, a career in the fine arts remains unattractive to young Singaporeans. This chapter investigates this paradox:
