Project Schedul

First of all, I am sorry to our ESG friends. I've sent you invitation to your email accounts to edit this blogger. Please reply it so I can open the admin access for you. Thanks a lot.

I added the World Clock and Recent Comments widgets on the right side. please let me know if they can't work or not correct.

Nelly throwed a good idea to set up a schedule. Kathy attached the tentative timeline on wetpaint. Everyone please check it out and leave comments so we can modify it.

Here's the announcement from our professor Pence:
The subject of the film is Outsourcing. The new training module you are building is around the Outsourcing issues. Answer the questions so you get an idea of what you might do for a training module. Your new scenario still is about Outsourcing! Don't make your lives any more difficult than they have to be with this project. You just have to see what happens if you change the countries involved.

Hope this could give French team some tips how to do this project.
Kathy also attached the ppt about the project progress on wetpaint.

Vivian and I attached some basic info and hard facts about Taiwan. I put 3 videos on the page "Videos about Taiwan". I assume videos are more interesting than words....

It looks we've already started working. Thanks to all and let's keep moving on.

Taiwaness Background and Business Etiquette from Vivian

So far, we still have 1 french member have not joined the wetpaint. We will sent invitation email again. We need everyone post their picture and self introduction hopefully by this Friday(Feb 20).

Good news!!!
Vivian add on wetpaint one attachment about Taiwaness background and business etuquette, including info and facts (location, capital city, climate, etc), language, culture and customs, etiquette about gift giving, dinning, business, communication, and Hofstede Model.

well, since Vivian got pretty much info already, I'll add anything I think of behind Vivian's document.

I will also search some videos, interesting case, or photoes and put them on wetpain by the end of this week.

IMPORTANT!!!
NOWplease reply Kathy's message. Hope we'll all get our first online meeting soon.

Outsource Project

the subject is : French managers in Taiwan.

The U.S. team will search some basic business etiquette and culture stuff of Taiwan. We'll add those info on Wetpaint.

The French Team will be managers, and please to add your info on wetpaint ,too.

Let's start working!!!

Self introduction

I’m George, and I’m here to tell you the experience of my life. I was born in the Beijing, the capital of Chinese mainland. As a lucky one out of millions, I had this chance to come to America. For years, I was struggling to adapt to this complete new environment. Everything was new to me - the language, the food, and the culture. I always had this dream of working toward something that bigger than myself. That was the reason for me to come back to school and study my way to reach this stage. As the lucky one to have this chance to reach my dream. There is still trouble ahead of my life, I am looking forward to have this great opportunity of learning the not only the value of business, but also the value of life.

Team Journal

Hi everyone,
