Systems Engineers Come to JAIMS for New Global
Business Training Program
HONOLULU — Seven systems
engineers from Fujitsu Ltd. in Japan are at JAIMS for the six-week
Global Business Training Program.
Initiated over a year ago by Hiroshi Yamamura,
former JAIMS vice president and current Fujitsu Business Systems
of America president, the GBTP has been developed by JAIMS VP for
Academic Affairs Blair Odo and the JAIMS Japan Office staff.
The purpose of the program is to prepare the
participants for their overseas assignments to Fujitsu Australia
and DMR Consulting. A curriculum based on the Intercultural Management
Program curriculum has been modified for GBTP and includes courses
in cross-cultural communication strategies, business writing and
presentation, international negotiation, management and entrepreneurship.
"For a truly cross-cultural experience,
we will also integrate the seven participants with as many ICMP,
JEMBA and CHEMBA activities as much as possible in the short time
that they are here," Odo said. Also included in the curriculum
are site visits to Manoa Innovation Center and to the City of Kapolei
and participation in the ahupua‘a cultural tour in
Kahana Valley.
All participants have at least five years of
experience in the field of systems engineering. The program ends
on June 23, 2000.
