Honor Roll【Alumni】Tremendously heartwarming alumni of CM set up scholarships to help students On May 30, 2019, the College of Management held the Academic Year 2018 Second Semester Scholarship Review Meeting. Besides the faculty of the College of Management, the Heritage Scholarship donor, EMBA-11 representative曾國揚, and Yuyu Chin Lu Education Foundation Chairman 柯畊宇, and Mr. 鍾金福 Memorial Scholarship donor CS6 鍾志雄 were also invited to attend the meeting. Among the available scholarships, the Heritage Scholarship was initiated by the 11th class alumni of the EMBA program, which donates an average of NT$320,000 every year since 2000. Following that example, the 10th class alumnus of the EMBA program, Mr. 張永義, set up the "Yuyu Chin Lu Education Foundation Scholarship" in 2014. The 6th class alumnus of the CSEMBA program 鍾志雄 set up the “Mr. 鍾金福 Memorial Scholarship” in 2017. These three scholarships established by alumni have helped more than 213 students as of this year. The total amount of donations amounted to NT$3.2 million.The College of Management Dean San-Yih Hwang said that a total of 17 students applied for scholarships donated by the alumni this semester. Although the applicant family's economic situation is in great need of help, most of the students who applied for the program excel academically, and several of them are even first in their class. Therefore, he specially pointed that out during the review meeting, and with an unanimous consent of the donor representatives, the student in most need would receive two scholarships at the same time. The Dean thanked the alumni for providing such scholarships for the students to help them pursue their studies with ease, turning their life around. The enthusiastic and charitable alumni further expressed that they could provide part-time opportunities to students. For instance, EMBA11 曾國揚 runs a kindergarten, and is looking for an administrative assistant and various tutors for English, mathematics, computers, etc. at his school. On the other hand, 鍾志雄mentioned that since he has worked in mainland China for a long time, if students wish to look for opportunities there, he would be very happy to help them with their employment and even start a business there. The alumni also recommended all graduates, especially the EMBA graduates, to organize a work-study and employment network to help students in need. During the meeting, the Dean also shared with the representatives the status of the students who had received the scholarhsip in the past. He mentioned that one of the eligible students in the last semester turned down the application because he had already received sufficient scholarships outside the school and would like to yield the quota to students who need it more than him. The representatives who attended the meeting all agreed that the purpose of their donation is to encourage students in need to come forward to receive help and give them a chance to change their life for the better. More importantly, when the scholarship recipients are more capable, they can help others in need, paying it forward and forming a positive cycle.

He teaches very neat and clear. He clears all the doubts in person.” – says Prasanthi.

【Speech】Dr. Chia Wu Gave a Talk about Social Branding On Tuesday June 4th, IBMBA Director Sharon Wang invited invited Dr. Chia Wu of Hong Kong Chinese University to share her expertise on social branding with his Electronic Commerce and International Marketing students. Dr. Wu has worked in several industries, including Chanel, P&G, and Chrysler. Her experienced background allowed Dr. Wu to navigate the conversation and discussion effortlessly. There were roughly thirty participants, from local students to international students. On Tuesday June 4th, Professor Lin Fan Francois invited Dr. Chia Wu of Hong Kong Chinese University to share her expertise on social branding with his Electronic Commerce and International Marketing students. Dr. Wu has worked in several industries, including Chanel, P&G, and Chrysler. Her experienced background allowed Dr. Wu to navigate the conversation and discussion effortlessly. There were roughly thirty participants, from local students to international students.Dr. Chia Wu started out by incorporating her work experiences at Chrysler into her introduction of millennials’ emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR). She mentioned that millennials (those born between 1980s and 2000) are becoming increasingly aware of a company’s CSR goals. Good and positive CSR efforts will increase consumer loyalty and retention. During the 921 earthquake, Dr. Wu and her then company, Chrysler, donated to children who lost their families to the catastrophe and made visits to the disaster sites. These philanthropic efforts improved Chrysler’s brand image, proving that CSR efforts are widely appreciated and recognized by consumers. The discussion branched out to discuss the evolution of sustainable efforts and CSR. In 1950s, CSR is more for the company’s image, but in the 2000s, it’s become voluntary and important integration of culture and nature. There were contradictory efforts too: while CSR aims to give back to the community, they nonetheless are profit driven. Many students were interested in selecting the right corporation to choose to support. Dr. Wu shared that consumer support varies case by case, as consumers can prioritize the social efforts they want to support. Sustainable goals include ending poverty and hunger, promoting green energy, and eliminating inequality. Dr. Wu also encouraged students to be active participants of CSR efforts to reach global sustainability. The key process includes identifying and committing, recognizing goals and monitoring progress, pinpointing methods, and publicizing results. The discussion concludes with a debate about McDonald’s recent movement of removing single-use straws from their Beijing chains and introducing a plastic cap easy to sip on. While most students agree that this movement can reduce waste and are willing to support McDonald’s, others disagree. Some students believed it doesn’t solve the bigger problem of plastic consumption and others thought straws may be necessary for disabled groups who depend on straws for consumption. During the final Q&A, students asked about the difference between social enterprises (whose purpose is to break even) and CSR (whose purpose is to make profit) as well as Dr. Wu’s work experiences between different industries and cultures. Overall, the seminar was very informational and lively. The interaction and engagement were educational for both parties. (By IBMBA Sandy Chen)
【Student】Learning Taiwanese Culture Through Historical Homes, Foreign Students from College of Management Visit Hakka Village On June 11, 2019, foreign exchange students taking the "Asia-Pacific Business Management Practices" course offered by the College of Management were led by the instructor, Dr. Yu-Chieh Lin, to visit Yang’s Historical Home in Jiadong Township, Pingtung County. Mr. Ching-Mou Yang, the owner of Yangs’ Historical Home, shared the history of the Home and introduced Hakka traditional architecture to the students. In addition to allowing the students to understand Hakka culture, this cultural visit also helped facilitate the understanding of the impact of Hakka culture on the management of the manufacturing industry in Taiwan.The visiting students strolled along the small road planned by the Hakka village in Jiadong Township. This area is referred to as a “living museum” by the locals. The entire village was refurbished to completely preserve the authentic Hakka characteristics. Along the way, Mr. Yang enthusiastically explained the different types and the historical evolution of Hakka houses. The villagers also passionately interacted with the exchange students. Martin Sture from Norway commented, "Taiwanese are really hospitable". Afterwards, they visited a level-three ancient monument that has preserved the most comprehensive Han and Minnan culture in Taiwan, Hsiao Family Old House. It is the only building in Taiwan that has five halls with six enclosed courtyards. After listening to the Hsiao family's explanations, Floris Mutsaerts from the Netherlands realized that it was indeed not easy to preserve the ancient monument and be able to pass them on. Besides the relentless efforts from the local residents, it also takes support and collaboration from the government to ensure the preservation of the cultural and historic heritage. Through visiting the well-preserved ancient monuments and listening to the heirs' detailed explanations, the foreign exchange students of the College of Management from around the world had a better understanding of Taiwan's diverse ethnicities and cultures. Dr. Lin pointed out that it was his hope to enrich foreign students’ learning experiences in Taiwan through such cultural visits, as well as to help them to better understand the cultural differences and apply that knowledge in management in different cultural settings. （Written by 詹益慈 of IBMBA 2017 / Edited by College of Management）
【Student】End of term celebration: KTV 2019-07-01／Student Association of International ProgramsJune 21, 2019 – The Student Association hosted their final event of the semester, providing students to sing like a nightingale at the KTV just in case their studies did not pay off. The turn-out was around 25 students, mainly from the GHRM program. The Student Association only want the best for their students, which was apparent from the fact that our booth was the VIP room. The Student Association provided a small budget for everyone on which they could spend on food and drinks. The start was a little bit rough with people being afraid to sing, but once Barbara set the tone all this fear went away. The song had a great variety with English classic songs like “Let it be” and “Country roads” to popular Chinese songs. Everyone was enjoying themselves and at the end there was still a playlist with over 15 songs, but unfortunately we ran out of time. Furthermore the event had another highlight, or actually two highlights. These highlights were the return of Jay and June from their exchange semester at NTU in England, telling us all about their amazing travel stories. This event also makes students in the International Program to have more coherence between each other. Some of them told the SA that it is the best decision for them to study here, and they will absolutely recommend their friend to study in the International Program of NSYSU in the future. Our time as Student Association has come to an end with the finalization of this article. We wanted to say that we were glad that so many students joined our events and good luck to the new Student Association!
【Speech】Imitation versus Innovation in Business 2019-06-27／GHRM MBAIn the morning of Jun 6th, the world known Professor Oded Shenkar gave a guest speech about his book called “Copycats”. Dr. Oded Shenkar holds degrees in East-Asian (Chinese) Studies and Sociology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a PhD from Columbia University. He is the Ford Motor Company Chair in Global Business Management and Professor of Management and Human Resources at the Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University. Professor Shenkar has been a Senior Visiting Fellow at the University of Cambridge, and has taught at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Peking University, the University of International Business and Economics (Beijing), and the International University of Japan, among others. Professor Shenkar’s work has been cited by The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Daily Mail (UK), Liberation (France), International Herald Tribune, Time, Business Week, Compass, the Economist, Chief Executive magazine, Associated Press, Reuters, Nikkei Financial Daily, China Daily, Reference News (China), and China Business Weekly, as well as on radio (e.g., NPR, CBS) and TV (BBC, CNN, CCTV, Reuters, ABC, Canada Business TV, Bloomberg). During his guest speech, Dr. Shenkar kept the audience patiently listening and thinking of concept of innovation and imitation and their combinations – imovation. Professor Shenkar introduced the book and explained that the way people think of imitation in business is different. The main argument of the book is that imitation is as important as innovation, they are complimentary, not two opposites (illegal forms of imitation are not in the book, the contents are strictly about the legal issues and places where legal systems are strong in protecting the IPR (intellectual property rights). Most of the innovator companies are not in the market anymore or have only very small market share. The vast majority of businesses will look at the existing models and imitate it. Imitators are more likely to get more economic return than innovators, because imitating is much faster, more cost effective and more likely to provide with economic return. Dr. Shenkar introduced a concept of Imovators = innovators+imitators (Imovation = fusing innovation with imitation), as well as pointed out importance for businesses know how to imitate wisely and for innovators to defend themselves from imitators. The guest lecture was quite interactive and students couldn’t wait for Q&A session to begin, many of them had a lot of questions as it is a great opportunity to meet such a distinguished Professor in person. Among the most interesting questions are the following: Q1: In academic filed we study, read, add our opinion, improve previous research. Dr. Shenkar, In your opinion where does improvement go? Is it innovation or imitation or a combination of both? A: In academic journals you don’t get a lot of credits for replicate studies. If you do, maybe you can publish in B or C journals. It is unfortunate. We should learn from the natural sciences. You put to test the gurus research and can find there is something wrong or there is a room for improvement. We should have the replications in our field. Q2: AppStore, iTunes, SpaceX – these are all considered to be innovations. How do you think they could survive? A: In the “Copycats” book it is not written about the big picture. It is for business entrepreneurs. Apple, for example, is a carefully done imitation (smart imitation which is done wisely, they looked at failures, drew a lesson, understood why and then acted). There is a lot to learn from failures, but management’s doors are usually more open to discuss success, but not failures. Q3: There are companies, which start from imitators, but do not want to stay in this stage forever. How do you think they can move away from image of imitators? A: There are businesses, which stay in “copycat stage” for a very long time. There are many examples of companies who keep on imitating for the whole business time. Some evolve into imovators. For example, P&G (Procter and Gamble) case: through their own imitation efforts they learned how to be good defenders from imitations. In P&G employees get a reward from anything that contributes to innovation, even if it is an imitation!
