Based on two of his research articles, Dr. Jason Chan introduced how to study digital business and its influence on society with economic methods and experimental methods. The first article was about the influence of iPad to the traditional Internet sales channels and mobile phone's sales channels. The second article studied the negative influence of the Craigslist website to health. The innovative discovery of the two articles aroused the interest of the teachers and students present, who engaged in heated discussion with Dr. Chan after the lecture.
