About Fang

Dr. Fang (Amy) Huang is a Senior Lecturer in Management in the Murdoch Business School at Murdoch University, Australia, where she also serves as Postgraduate Research Chair. She obtained her PhD in Commerce from the University of Adelaide in 2011, following the completion of her Master of Business Research. Having joined Murdoch University immediately after her doctorate, Huang has developed a prominent career as a researcher and educator specializing in strategic management topics.

Huang's research focuses on open innovation, absorptive capacity, knowledge management, Chinese business, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability. Her influential publications include 'The role of absorptive capacity in facilitating open innovation outcomes: A study of Australian SMEs in the manufacturing sector' (2009), 'Openness in product and process innovation' (2012), 'Does open innovation apply to China? Exploring the contingent role of external knowledge sources and internal absorptive capacity in Chinese large firms and SMEs' (2015), 'Firm networking and bribery in China: Assessing some potential negative consequences of firm openness' (2012), 'Intellectual property protection need as a driver for open innovation: Empirical evidence from Vietnam' (2023), 'Open Innovation And Performance Across National Cultures' (2023), 'A meta-analysis of the impact of open innovation on performance' (2025), and 'The role of country-level human capital in the high-performance work systems–performance relationship: A meta-analysis' (2024). These works, published in leading journals such as the International Journal of Innovation Management, Journal of Management & Organization, and Human Resource Management Review, have shaped discourse on innovation strategies in diverse cultural and institutional settings. Huang has supervised doctoral theses and contributed to conference proceedings and projects funded by internal grants like the 2023 Learning & Teaching Seed Funding from the College of Business.

In recognition of her teaching contributions, Huang received a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning at the 2025 Australian Awards for University Teaching as part of the Eco-Economy Project Team, which embeds sustainability and cross-cultural perspectives into curricula to engage students with global challenges. She also holds the College of Business Teaching Award for Program that Enhances Learning (team award). Her multifaceted roles enhance academic training and research output in the Business School.
