Through collecting data and doing some initial analyzing, I found that there is an upward trend for donating activity. The percent of all the publicly listed companies in the main board of the hk stock exchange that donate increased around 8% from 2013 to 2016. Furthermore, 44.13% to 52.12% of the listed companies donate. In which around 16%-21% donate 0-500,000 HKD = 64090 USD. 5%-7% donate around 64090 to 128181 USD. 12% to 14% donate 128181 to 640906 USD. 10%-12% donate 640906 USD+. It is very interesting to put the donation amount into percent and look at it as a whole. I will continue to do more analyzation and collection of data. I am also meeting with Ms Price to look at the statistics more in depth. Looking forward!

However, US companies' data are very difficult to find as they are not required to publicize these information. Hence, I had to switch back to Hong Kong companies and add different components to it, mainly qualitative analysis, such as the psychology piece and interviews. Another challenge was data collecting. It was very time consuming as I had to search each company one by one indivi

November 2nd Post - Interview

For the interview assignment, I decided to interview my father who is one of the founders of the social enterprise  Sodata Analytics Foundation Association, where I am interning at. He is also a businessman and philanthropist. 1) How did you come up with this idea of starting Sodata? While I was studying at Chicago Booth Business School AXP EMBA, I was able to connect with other graduates, and we all had a conviction to make an impact in the society. We started this non profit social venture for impacting on social enterprises through making a positive market influence on the corporate philanthropy culture by way of our data analytics and promotions, and through our efforts in crowdfunding platform for social enterprises in need.    As far as philanthropy is concerned, either individually or corporately, it tends to be hindered by the deep rooted Asian culture. When the news of people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg announced their donation of their entire wealth, it became head
