Major pillars of the Hong Kong economy are related to services such as finance, professional services, medicine, education and logistics. Those service systems are complex systems in which specific arrangements of people and technologies take actions that provide value for others. Systems are designed and built to provide and sustain services, yet because of their complexity and size, operations do not always go smoothly, and all interactions and results cannot be anticipated. As a result, systems engineers are trained to develop quantitative decision-making tools and methodologies for smooth, agile and resilient operations in data-intensive service systems such as finance, healthcare, and logistics.
