Krannert Magazine Fall 2006 student exchange agreements with leading Chinese universities are

part of a larger globalization initiative by Krannert and Purdue that is

taking the school beyond the classroom and into the heart of Asia's

growing economy.

ONGOING EFFORTS by Purdue's Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) and Krannert's International Initiatives and Global Supply Chain Management Initia­ tive (GSCMI) have already created a learning environment that extends far beyond manage­ ment classrooms. Combined with the University's Asian Initiative, including agreements with three Chinese universities, Krannert students and faculty members are now venturing into the hub of the continent's unprecedented economic evolution. Brad Feuling, MBA '07, stayed in Shanghai for a week during spring recess with fellow GSCMI master's students, where they visited with MBA students from Shanghai Jiaotong University, met Krannert alumni living and working In the city, and took a whirlwind series of 'best practice' tours at China facilities of such Fortune 500 companies as Intel, Cummins, and Kimberly-Clark, among others. Industry partners enabled the effort by providing contact information for their "in country" operations to facilitate the broadly diverse site visits. Feuling returned to China after classes ended in May as part of a larger Krannert coalition. He and 43 other master's students spent two weeks at Tsinghua University in Beijing, while 20 undergraduates visited Guanghua School of Management at Beijing University. Lectures on topics relevant to each group's level of knowledge were complemented with trips to such historic landmarks as the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. "China is where every business is going — companies are scrambling to put their products in front of 1.3 billion BY ERIC NELSON consumers," says Feuling. "Global knowledge and specifically ''Global knowledge and specifically knowledge of China is critical to doing business today.

hen a client asked Clarity Creative Group in Las Vegas, Nevada, to help introduce its new microprocessor architec­ ture to the market. Partner and Executive Art Director Gregg Stokes and his team used a simple tool to reach a high-tech destination — they drew a map and followed It. WIdea mapping, a visual technique based on associative thought rather than traditional linear reasoning, allowed Stokes and his group to focus on the com­ plex product's key benefits: increased computing power and efficiency derived from putting dual "cores" onto a single chip. Stokes's map distilled hours of meetings, pages of notes, and large quanti­ ties of information into a colorful, single-page diagram that summarized the project and its overall structure at a glance (see figure one). It ultimately served as the basis for an animated, 3-D presentation that energized and educated the client's internal sales force on how the new technology could be marketed to its customers. "I have used idea maps countless times to summarize technical details for projects that need to be organized and structured," says Stokes. For many cli­ ents, he says, "the idea map is the first time they see the project as a structured whole instead of as pieces and parts." Making the association The fundamental principle behind idea mapping is that the mind thinks and works associatively. The challenge, however, is that most people have been trained in traditional linear thinking. By engaging both hemispheres of the ^^^^^^i^^T^^Jjl' ' *- brain, this approach frees a person's brain to think, see, and understand j^^r^ more efficiently, creating associations to words. Images, and events based on experience. A simple example shows how the process works: Imagine that you are responsible for planning an event for your company. Instead of sitting at the computer and typing out a plan for the project, you draw the basic structure of an idea map one branch at a time as the thoughts come to mind. In the center of the map is your topic — the event itself — represented by an image, a word, or a combination of the two. The next step is to allow your brain to begin thinking about the components of planning this event. Your first thought goes on a main branch connected to the center. When you have a second idea, consider its association to the first. If it's a new topic, it goes on a new main branch. If it associates to your first idea, draw a sub-branch off the first branch and add your new thought on tf As more Ideas come to mind, add them to the mapbased-Ofiwhere they best connect based on your associatlons^_^Q©flrlTievarious factors Involved in planning the event — sucti..as-atj3lence, speakers, budget, and advertising — are connecied-tcToneanother visually (see figure two).
