Education Ph.D. in Business Administration, The University of Texas at Dallas, USA (2013) M.B.A., Department of Business Management, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan (2006) B.B.A., Department of International Trade, National Chengchi University, Taiwan (2004) Research Interests Su’s scholarship lies at the intersection of corporate social responsibility (CSR) , business ethics , and international strategic management . His work examines how non-market strategies—such as CSR signaling, sustainability reporting, and corporate philanthropy—shape firm value, stakeholder perceptions, and governance outcomes across developed and emerging economies. A particular focus is placed on East-Asian contexts, where institutional transitions and family ownership create unique strategic contingencies. Methodologically, he integrates multi-level governance perspectives, drawing on agency theory, upper-echelons theory, and stakeholder theory to explore antecedents and consequences of CSR decoupling, gender diversity in top management, tax-haven utilization, and cross-border growth strategies of multinational enterprises. Publication Trends Across more than thirty SSCI/TSSCI publications since 2008, Su’s recent articles (2020-2025) exhibit a clear trajectory toward environmental, social, and governance (ESG) themes, investigating how board governance moderates the carbon-emissions–forecast-error nexus and how comparative governance structures influence corporate misconduct in Japan. Earlier work (2013-2019) concentrated on strategic CSR, family-firm risk-taking, and the signaling value of CSR in emerging markets. His handbook chapter (2024) consolidates insights on the antecedents and governance implications of corporate philanthropy.
