and CHEMBA
HONOLULU — On August
6, 2001, the largest group of Japan-focused
MBA (JEMBA) and China-focused
MBA (CHEMBA) students were greeted at the annual welcome Aloha
Luncheon held by JAIMS and the University of Hawai'i at Manoa College of Business at Manoa.
Attending the event were faculty and staff as
well as guest speaker, John Creech, president of Snap-on
Tools Japan K.K. Creech, who had studied for his MBA while running
his company, had some practical words of advice for the new students.
Don't focus on memorizing information, Creech
said. Probably the most important thing you should learn is
how to get information and how to utilize it in your future
job.
Students have brought with them the experience
from many diverse industries including international affairs, aerospace,
telecommunications, information technology, education, and finance.
Consisting of 26 students, this 2001-2002 JEMBA
and CHEMBA class represents 10 countries: Australia, Hong Kong,
Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan,
and the U.S.
After finishing their twelve-month course work
in Honolulu, they will leave for a three-month business internship
at a company in Japan, China, or the U.S. in August 2002.
