Mr. Dennie Hsieh, IBMBA & KEDGE dual award Alumni (Class of 2017)
IB106級謝博勛當初會選擇進入國際經營管理碩士學程就讀，看上的便是學程提供的選課自由度。在眾多豐富的課程當中，謝博勛表示自己非常喜歡《國際企業管理》這門課，因為老師會透過小組討論、角色扮演、課堂辯論及個案分析等不同的教學方法，讓學生循序漸進地明白商業世界裡的實際運作。
另外，《企業管理研討》這門課也讓他收穫滿滿！講座和實作雙管齊下，讓學習成效更顯著。謝博勛提到，透過這門課，他實際到企業參訪、觀察職場環境，也瞭解到參訪企業在產業的定位和困境。
身為首屆KEDGE雙聯學位的學生，他從波爾多校區的《全球運籌管理》課程當中學習到物流相關技術、供應鏈的操作，也學會以宏觀的角度來瞭解如何透過運籌管理提升企業效率。在期末的報告當中，謝博勛與組員協力合作，提出一系列完整的物流規劃報告，令人刮目相看。
初來乍到法國，謝博勛說自己無法立即習慣法國當地的的行政效率及時間觀念，因此花了一些時間調適。儘管在當地的生活問題重重，謝博勛依舊堅強地克服許多語言上及住宿上的難題。走訪過13個國家、33座城市，謝博勛說英國倫敦最深得他心，不僅景象令人心曠神怡，濃郁的歷史人文更是教人流連忘返。
謝博勛分享自己在國外課堂觀察的經驗，他發現國際學生們不僅擁有自己想法，也勇於表達。活躍的討論氛圍，明顯有別於亞洲較為沉默的學習環境。謝博勛鼓勵學弟妹確實精進外語能力，讓自己有足夠的籌碼可以去在課業上學習、在日常中生活。
「國際觀不是記住每個國家的刻板印象」謝博勛語重心長地說他從法國學到最為寶貴的一課是不以偏概全的與他人相處。在與不同國家的學生接觸過後，謝博勛瞭解到片段的資訊無法代表某個國家的國情及文化，跟其他國際學生深入認識之後，才能有更真實的體悟。
IB106 Dennie Hsieh would choose International Business MBA in the first place because the program offered a lot of course options. Of all the courses that IBMBA offered, Dennie Hsieh said that he enjoyed the course of "International Business Management", which the teacher would use different teaching methods such as group discussion, role-playing, class debate and case analysis to let students understand how the real business world work.
Besides, the course of " Seminar in Business Management " also enriched his student life. Lectures and hand-on practices made his learning much more effective. Dennie Hsieh mentioned that through this course, he visited a company in semiconductor industry and observed its environment and plants. After that trip, he understood the positioning and the dilemma of the company.
As a first student who join KEDGE dual degree program, he benefited a lot from the course of " Global Logistics Function " in Bordeaux campus. Through this course, he understood the logistics-related technologies and the operation of the supply chain. What’s more, he also learned how companies could use logistics to improve business efficiency. In the final report, Dennie Hsieh cooperated with team members and presented a series of complete logistics planning reports, which was impressive.
When he first arrived in France, Dennie Hsieh said that he could not immediately get used to the local administrative efficiency and the time concept in France, so he took a while to adapt. Despite a lot of tough times, Dennie Hsieh still managed to roll with the punches and overcame many language barriers and accommodation problems. Having visited 13 countries and 33 cities, Dennie Hsieh said that his favorite was London city. Not only was the scene exhilarating, but the rich history and humanities are also fascinating.
Dennie Hsieh shared his experience in French. He found that international students not only had their own ideas, but also dared to express them. The lively class discussion was different from the learning atmosphere in Asia. Dennie Hsieh wanted to encourage future IB students to devote to foreign language learning, so that they would have enough proficiency to study abroad and live independently
"The international perspective is not about remembering the stereotypes of each country." Dennie Hsieh said that the most valuable lesson he learned from France was not to judge a book by its cover. Making friends with students from different countries, Dennie Hsieh learned that clips of information could not represent the whole nation and the country ‘s culture. Only after having a deep understanding with other international students, one could have a more realistic and profound understanding about other countries.
