So starts Semester 2....
So we have begun MMgt semester 2. Previous to this week a group of us participated in an innovation seminar hosted by the CEMS network. This was an intense workshop that definitely got us ready for sem 2!
Block Seminar:
So by definition this was the block seminar mandatory for CEMS students to complete. It consisted of a one week long intensive series of lecures, dinners, and excusions. Chris Styles, the main lecturer, even connected business to chaos theory, making things quite interesting! We learned to connect interesting ideas, saw the Museum of Contemporary Art, and visited the Sydney Observatory to try and understand how seeing the patterns of stars can facilitate our abilities to visualise new patterns of thinking in business. All in all an enriching experience.
Semester 2 Schedule for the Master of Management:
I thought it might be useful for those reading this blog (most of which I'm guessing are considering either the MMgt program or another in the Econ and Bus faculty) to see the semester 2 schedule. So here it is:
Monday: Corporate Governance*
Tuesday: Cross Cultural Management*
Wednesday: Supply Chain Management*
Thursday: International Marketing*
*all classes are from 10am-12am and resume from 2pm-4pm. Fridays are reserved for skills seminars.
So aside from all of this the campus is vibrant and full of new and old faces, and we are all enjoying and appreciative of the beautiful weather this winter is giving us. Please stay tuned for updates next week on how all the classes have gone, as well as an update on my research on the auto industry, and how the new CEMS students seem to be enjoying themselves so far in Sydney (as of yet...no complaints...they are loving it!)
