Dear Fellow Chinese Students and Scholars:

this August.  The following is an announcement from the Workshop
Committee.  

*****************************************************************
  
        IFCSS SUMMER WORKSHOP ON BUSINESS MANAGEMENT 

  
                  JULY 1992, HSINCHU/TAIPEI 
  
1. BACKGROUND 
  
With generous support from the business community in Taiwan, IFCSS
will hold its first summer workshop on business management in
Hsinchu Science Park/Taipei around August 1992.  All Chinese
professionals with career interests in business management are
encouraged to apply to participate in this workshop. 
  
IFCSS believes that economic development is one of the main driving
forces for the social advancement of our home country.  Expertise
in the fields of business and economics will help us contribute to
this development.  The recent economic and political achievements
in Taiwan have created a unique environment for us to learn and
develop expertise in business management, market economic and
international trade. 
  
Since our first contact with business community and education
institutions in Taiwan, which include Hsinchu Science Park,
university business schools, individual firms and foundations, we
have received very positive responses and generous supports.  After
many consultations, it has been decided that the first workshop of
a series will be held this summer.  The 1992 summer workshop will
focus on business management of medium to small high - tech 
enterprise and global business competition. 
  
2. CONTENTS 
  
The 1992 Summer Workshop will be 2-3 weeks long and consist of
courses and visits to sponsoring firms.  The courses will be taught
by business leaders and professors from business schools.  Further
practical/intern training in sponsoring firms may be available at
the end of the workshop. 
  
Intended courses: (to be finalized) 
  
3. APPLICATION PROCESS: 
  
All Chinese professionals with career interests in business
management are welcome to apply.  But due to the limited budget and
the experimental nature of this first workshop, there is a limit
to the number of participants we can take. The workshop committee
will select fifteen of the applicants based on (1) academic records
(those who have obtained or are going to obtain PhD are encouraged
to apply), (2) demonstrated leadership and management potential,
and (3) future career plans. 
  
Please submit your application with a detailed resume and a
personal essay no more than 800 words.  One reference letter is
helpful but not required. In your essay, please address the above
stated criteria.  (You may write your essay as one you would send
to a major business school.)  Previous experience with business
management is not required.

    733, 15th St. NW 
    Suite 440
