Dear Colleagues
Time
flies so quickly. Since my last newsletter, another
Business Administration Research Center at the NEU Hanoi
has opened. Dr. Phuc (Director) and Dr. Nhuan (Deputy
Director) are in charge of the Center called
"Center Of Management Education and
Development" COMED. The COMED has already done a
detailed Training Need Assessment for the Business
Administration Faculties of the four Partner
Universities. As a result over 60 training topics have
been prioritized for each University. SAV will address
the needs in the coming months.
People
are still talking about our 1st International Conference
on "Management Education in the 21st Century"
of September 2001. In the meantime the 2nd Conference
has been successfully held from 10-12th September 2003
in Hanoi. Experts from many countries have presented
keynotes and discussed papers with a substantial number
of vietnamese researchers (SAV alumni, PhD candidates
and others). I would like to thank all of them for their
contributions. The organisation team of Dr.Binh,
University of Technology Hanoi, has earned many
compliments for the smooth implementation of the
Conference. The proceedings can be found on this webpage
shortly. Already the 3rd Conference (September 2005) has
been announced and Dr. Nguyen Huu Lam has been appointed
as General Secretary.
Whereas the
PhD students of the first intake have reached candidacy
and finished their residential period abroad, twenty
participants have been selected for the second intake
(see picture above). One lady, Ms. Truong Thi Lan Anh,
is not on the picture as she gave birth to her first
baby shortly before the seminar! Congratulations and
best wishes to you!
On September
12th, the SAV alumni met in Lenin Park Hanoi. Almost 60
came and spent some time with SAV classmates and former
faculty member Dr. Arno Schircks.
The
current year will end soon with a PhD Seminar in
December and a workshop for BARC Directors at AIT
Bangkok. At the same time we are preparing a small
booklet about ten years of SAV Programme (1993-2003). We
shall mail a copy to you as soon as it is available.
Best
wishes to all of you
Dr.Hans
