AACSB

Graeme — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:26:14 -0600

The College of Management is in the process of applying for AACSB accreditation. The students in the College should be involved with the application as much as possible. Let's share ideas and information here to help make the application a success and bring AACSB accreditation to NCKU!

I hope that some of the students that are suffereing through BRM can use this as a way to help eachother, like if and when you encounter a specific problem with SPSS or AMOS, you could post about it so we all can either respond or learn from it.

Business/Video Discussion Group

Graeme — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 00:22:53 -0600

This group is a way for business students to get together and discuss what they have been learning. We'll show a video for about 10-20 minutes and then discuss it afterwards. It's a good way to get international perspectives on issues we don't always discuss in class.

Forming the First Organization of International Students under Taiwan law

tom — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 04:40:04 -0600

Dear fellow students and friends,

Until today in Taiwan, there is no organization for international students that has been formed in a legal manner.

I personally think that we could be able to use this vacuum, not only for our benefit, or the benefit of future international students but also for the benefit of Taiwanese students wanting to internationalize and go abroad for their studies.

The general benefit of forming a legal and organization will not only give us an official status, but will also give us the opportunity to apply for government and nongovernment sponsorships. Furthermore such an organization will give us the ability to speak out loud, and to be heard in an official manner. I will be introducing further information to this topic at the internationalization meeting, as well as in the Ph.D. and IMBA councils.

This organization should not be biased by either an university, nor by a single political movement. It should rather be an organization whose primary goal is to help international students accommodate themselves in Taiwan and in a second step can help Taiwanese students through its network to study at universities abroad. For example in the United States or in Europe.

A close friend of mine, also an alumni of NCKU and with good connections to government officials has offered for her help on this account.

I look forward to hearing any suggestions or comments, and I do hope that such an organization can be a benefit for us all.

Thank you for your time and for your comments,

Thomas

Statistics

tom — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 08:50:48 -0600

Dear fellow students and friends,

In a meeting with Prof. Wu today, we were discussing the possibility to offer a course in statistics, in the regular academic calendar, NOT in the summer break as usual.

Prof Wu has made the generous offer to us IMBA and PhD students, that if we can get at least 10 students together wanting (and needing) to take this opportunity, he will do his best to make it possible!

So to all of you who have problems understanding quantitative research methods and are laking the background to do so here is your chance. This will of course not be a credit course, as far as I understand, but I am sure many of you would like to deepen their knowledge in this domain.

I will further introduce this topic at the IMBA student's council as well as in the PhD seminar.

Please let me know what you think and if you are interested.

Thank you for your attention,

Thomas

Taiwan and Beyond 2008 Conference

tom — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:00:10 -0500

Without further comment I would like to share the Q&As I am exchanging with the 'conference officers':

Dear Martin, dear Paola,

Thank you for your reply!

Of course, before asking my questions, I have read the attached .pdf and went to the conference website (which basically has no more information than the .pdf contains)

To 1. May I suggest to clearly define a Harvard Business Case format, there are several, exceedingly different formats online.

To 2. There is clearly no descriptive format rule other than double spaced available. Does this mean e.g. references can be written in any (APA, MPA or other) style?

To 4. The submission (and later transfer of copyright) for a PhD student only makes sense if it is accepted as a conference paper according to regulations. Otherwise, all work would be in vain, because this paper can never be submitted again for any conference or journal.
This should have been addressed from the very beginning; the discussion now is only a valuable loss of time as is the Q&A game due to inexact and non-detailed information (for you, as conference officers, for me and PhD students in general)

To 5. see 1. & 2.

To 7. There is information about how to handle "Embryo Cases" but NO DEFINITION, neither in .pdf, nor website.

At this point, I would like to mention that DISCRIPTIVE and COMPLETE information should be available at the point of time this conference goes public. Any outsider (of the university) will get his/her impression of, not only the conference, but also of NCKU in general after looking at this.

So far, 2 out of my 7 questions have been answered; I do hope to have the rest answered ASAP, without referrals and links unless they are descriptive.

As with many things we are responsible for the external pictures, we create of our university. I am sure there is much potential there!

Sincerely,

Thomas Geiger

Subject: Re: IMconf

Hallo Thomas and Olga,

Here the answers to your questions:

(1) Are there any limitations to the size (min/max) of the paper?

Yes, there is a maximum of 25 pages, considering the characteristics of a Business Case (Harvard format) we suggest you present a paper of 20-25 pages. Appendix excluded.

(2) “Accepted papers must be typed according to the format defined by the Conference”. And, what is the format?

Please visit www.imba.ncku.edu.tw/conference for instructions and materials.

(3) Are students permitted to submit more than one paper?

Yes.

(4) For PhD students, is the participation in the conference accepted as a step towards the Candidate PhD, according to the regulations and stipulations of NCKU and MOE?

We are discussing this with the Chair, we will get back to you soon on this one.

(5) If the submitted paper was submitted as a term paper at NCKU, does it count as “previously not published”?

Yes, students are allowed to submit a modified term paper when compliant with the Harvard Business Cases logic and the conference format.

(6) Papers are not allowed to be copyrighted. According to international intellectual property rights, the owner (in this case the author) of any intellectual property has the right to “reserve all rights”. Is this the case?

When the author(s) submits a paper for the conference and it gets accepted, the author must sign a transfer of copyright agreement waiving his rights over the materials and transferring them to the Conference for publication, distribution, etc etc. This is a standard agreement.

(7) Please define the term: Embryo case!

Please visit www.imba.ncku.edu.tw/conference for instructions and materials.

We will get back to you about question (4) asap, may you have more questions about the conference please feel free to check with us at any time.

At this point I would like to mention that the conference website gets updated periodically and it is our advice for the participants to visit the conference site regularly.

Best regards,
