9 My feedback in 2011

• Knowledge to write good business plan and to implement feasible business is different, therefore education should be different. – Was able to teach how to write good business plan in short period, but I cannot teach how to operate business in one semester[6monthes] • In the same reason, essential skill in entry phase ,which starts business planning in int’l collaboration is different to knowledge about management 18

Current Challenges, basing on GOI’s Analysis

I. There is a lacking in exchange of ideas, interaction and collaboration amongst students from different universities due to the distance environment II. There is a lacking in emphasize on students’ ability to create new product or services, new method of production, new market or new process beyond their home country. III. There is a need to develop a roadmap that leads towards realistic exit for student who is inspired by entrepreneurship in balancing university study and commercialization.
