IIP author Edison Tse was recently interviewed in 12 articles, among which include Tech Times and the LA Post! His recently published book, “Do Good and Prosper: Interplay Between Philanthropy and Business Innovation” offers readers a multifaceted perspective on philanthropy and business innovation, enriching understanding of the Internet-based philanthropic model and the myriad insights it yields.
