My Blog

 About the Blog

I write this blog to detail out the subjects and topics that I teach and I researched on at the University, so that students could better understand the topics that they learn. Of course, the readers are not confined to students only, but include all people from different walks of life that may find the topic interesting and wants to learn more.



The topics that I plan to write include: -
  • General Philosophy
  • Knowledge Management
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Business Analytics
  • Financial Technology
  • Digital Entrepreneurship
and I might include other topics that I have been involved professionally like banking, auditing et cetera.

I also maintain another blog at http://alshaharudin.com/ where I write more general topics based on my learning and experiences.

I hope my readers will gain benefit from what I write.
