大家對IBMBA的logo有印象嗎？研究室前的IBMBA代表圖，又是誰設計的呢？
答案是---IB100黃士育 學長。中山機械系畢業後，工作了一段時間，任職到管理階層後，決定回到學校加強自己的管理知識，因此母校的IBMBA成為他的首選。
Do you remember the IBMBA logo? Do you know who designed the IBMBA banner which is hanging on the wall of the IBMBA study room?
The man is George Shihyu Huang, one of IB 101 alumna. After his graduation from NSYSU Department of Mechanical and electromechanical engineering, he worked in an educational institution. When he got a promotion to become a manager, he quitted the job. And he decided to come back to the business school to learn more about management skills. Therefore, IBMBA program was his first choice.
1. 請問學長為何當初想來念IBMBA?
1. Why did you want to apply for the IBMBA program?
我大學是念理工的，出去工作之後，深深覺得有必要加強商管專業，而且工作過以後，就會知道自己需要甚麼，因此選擇來IBMBA再進修。這裡是全英授課，在這壓力之下，我的英文能力更上一層樓。不只是英文溝通，我也學會如何跟不同國籍的人士一同上課討論及專案報告，這些跨文化的合作經驗對我日後有深的影響。而我從小也有到國外留學的夢想，IB的交換機制剛好可以實現我的願望。
My major was Mechanical and electromechanical engineering, but after the practical experience, I thought I must learn some professional knowledge about business management. That’s why I applied in the IBMBA program. This English-taught program helped me to improve my English ability. Moreover, I learnt how to cohabit with classmates having different type of nationalities. This cross-culture environment influenced me deeply. Another reason which motivated my application in the IBMBA program was the possibility offered to study abroad. I should notice that since I was a kid, I have always dreamt to study abroad. The IBMBA’s overseas exchange programs provided me a chance to fulfil this dream.
2. 在IBMBA有學到甚麼?
2. What did you learn in IBMBA program?
我學到的東西除了管理專業外還有人際關係的維持。這分成兩個部分來討論，管理專業：行銷、溝通、組織及研究論。人際關係維持就是如何和不同國籍的人合作和了解各國不同的文化。我自己本身對行銷很有興趣，因此就學期間，我特別花時間去學習這個部分，甚至我的論文也是和行銷有關係。至於溝通和組織是我另外多鑽研的部分。我很鼓勵學弟妹們不要白費在學期間，要選擇自己喜歡的領域去深化它，就會變成自己的專業。至於研究論，我個人覺得來研究所就是要學會這個，這是邏輯思考，學會這個對日後在職場上的工作分析乃至於是個人的生涯規劃都很有幫助。
I learn a lot in business management and interpersonal relationship. I think business management includes marketing, communication, organization and research methodology. Interpersonal relationship is related to the tolerance of different culture and cooperation with international talents. I’m very interested in marketing, I spent huge amount of time to study this subject. This is the reason my thesis topic was related to marketing. My suggestion to master students is they should not waste time, they must choose a favorite area, and focus on it. One day, they will become an expert in their area. I also want to mention that research methodology is the most important part for a master student. It would help them develop their critical thinking, and once they master it, it would help them planning their career life and they will be able to apply it on their working tasks.
3. 請問學長的交換經驗？
3. Could you share your exchange experience with us?
我是在2012-13年交換到日本東京的中央大學。在商學研究科到的課程是行銷、消費者、經濟學等。學校的資源很豐富，能夠參與社團、學園祭、國際學生交流等。在日本對我的日語程度提升有很大的幫助，有半個學期的時間，我選擇日語上課，回台後我順利通過日語一級檢定測驗。我另外還有在日本打工，因為我想了解如何日本的職場環境及增加自己的溝通能力還有專業領域的工作方式。我也參加就職活動，學習到日商的高標準求職要求。因此在台灣就職的時候，能夠大大活用。在國外留學能夠獲得很多，只要把當初想在國外的目標一個一個達成，加上與在地研究生的交流，我想會擦撞出一個很豐富、圓滿的留學生活。
I went to the exchange program during the 2012~2013 academic year. I applied Chuo universality in Tokyo. I enrolled in marketing, consumer, and economic course in their business school. This school provided us a lot of courses and activities. I was able to participate in the clubs, and in international students’ activities. I selected a Japanese-taught course for one semester. I then evaluated my Japanese level through a JLPT N1 (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test. N1 means the highest level). In order to know more about the Japanese working style and environment, I participated in several job recruiting fair during my exchange program. It permitted me to get a part-time job there! For me, I learnt a lot form the exchange program. I believe that if you are more interactive with local people, you will even get more from the IBMBA’s exchange program.
4. 目前的工作經驗談？
4. Could you talk about your current job?
我在台達電子任職，它的規模很大，產品領域非常廣泛。以我的事業群來說，主要針對工業自動化的領域推行解決方案及產品。像是工廠端導入機械手臂及節能方案等。從一個MBA的學生到一個完全是工業產品的世界，要學習的不是怎麼用行銷的角度賣產品而已，也得熟悉產品本身的設計理念、如何應用及協助客戶解決問題等。因此「快速學習」是一件很重要的事情，以我工科背景來說，我會從應用端再反推回去到熟悉產品。在台達全球性策略布局之下，每位員工都能夠發揮專長外，也能有機會到國外發展。
I am currently working for Delta Group, a big enterprise having diverse product lines. I am responsible for the total solution of automated production. For example, robotic arm and saving power plan. I used to only think about marketing as how to promote this product for example. But now I have more responsibilities such as the design, the production process and its application. My current tasks are totally different from what I learnt in MBA program. When you face that kind of situation, your first priority is to “learn fast”. My strategy is the following: having an engineering background, I would start from the application and then try to learn more about the product. Delta Group is a global company, employees could contribute through their talents and skills and also have chance to develop their career life in overseas.
5. 給學弟妹的話？
5. Any suggestion for IBMBA students?
IMBA或許不會是國際學程的最佳選擇，但MBA的修行真的在個人， 而且MBA會link的不只是你的求職，而會是一個很豐沛的資源及前景 （學歷、國際人脈、學識及校友）。你能夠在學程裡得到的不只是知識，還有很多軟實力的訓練，這些都靠你自己主動去參與、體驗、學習。
1) 在台灣的時候，把握時間學習好你最有興趣的專門（如策略、行銷等）習慣與外國同學共事。
2) 在國外的時候，達到學程要求的修課標準外，努力的玩、努力的體驗當地生活以及交當地的朋友。
3) 用最嚴謹的態度來面對論文，帶給你的會是具有組織性的思考、組成，以及面對各式各樣面試要求時皆能一一克服！
4) 開放的心去接受各種新鮮的事物！
IBMBA program is probably not the best choice among those international MBA programs. But you must work hard. MBA degree is not only useful for a job career; it also helps students to build an international connection, and a strong academic learning experience as well. I can give the following suggestions:
1) While you are in Taiwan, focus on your talent or what you are interested in. (For example, marketing and strategy); cooperate with diverse nationality classmates.
2) During the exchange program period, obtain the limited requirement of credits. Then explore the local life and make some local friends.
3) Write your thesis seriously! Then you could build a strong critical thinking, it will make you able to overcome any tough situation in your future life.
4) Be an open minded person.
