In-person experiential learning -- i.e., either on an individual or group basis -- lays the groundwork for my teaching on campuses around major universities in Asia for the past 27 years. For teaching effectiveness for the 2nd-year undergraduate core course at the Department of International Business, Prof. Chiu emphasizes the importance of in-class participation at the either individual or group level, pre-class preparations for the textual chapter(s) and course readings, and on-time attendance for the class.
To update and enhance my pedagogical approach in line with the global benchmark of the top universities overseas, I have implemented a four-year long “Global Teaching & Research Effectiveness 2.0” project since 2015 on behalf of a Hong Kong-based not-for-profit foundation with an endowment of US$ 140 million up to date. The leading universities that I have visited and benchmarked their teaching protocols include Harvard U., MIT, U Penn Wharton School, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, U Chicago, Oxford U., Cambridge U., Australia National U., U Sydney, Melbourne U., Humboldt U, Berlin Technical U., U Paris, Ecole Polytechique, Waseda U., Keio U., Tokyo U., U Hong Kong, Beijing U, Beijing Tsinghua, among others.

課程目標 |
This course focuses on the challenges and opportunities associated with organizational management and business strategy in the global environment. The International Business Management (IBM) course is intended to be a challenging management course for equipping you for a future global talent and well-regarded professional. There are three objectives guiding the instructor’s pedagogical approach and in-class interactions:
First, you can expect to gain a general overview of the process and effect of sequential internationalization – or accelerated globalization of an entrepreneurial firm – in each class, with an introduction to theories, concepts and skills relevant to managing effectively. Second, this course provides you with great opportunities for integrating knowledge and practices across cultural, institutional, and industry contexts. A “surely working case study method will help your apply what you learned and are learning to solve the problems raised by the cases. Finally, this course will serve a bridge connecting your basic understandings of economics, accounting, international business environments with advanced learning in functional areas of finance, marketing, human resources, and so on, from the cross-cultural, institutional force-driven, and industry dynamics-oriented integrative perspective. |
