35 students of the Fudan 5th Class, headed by Professor Li Ji-Ren of NTU College of Management, finished its 6-day NTU EMBA West Coast Program 2016 courses and corporate visits at the Stanford University and Silicon Valley. This year’s Program focused on entrepreneur innovation and set out to experience the liberal culture at the Stanford University and the entrepreneur-friendly environment at the Silicon Valley. Our students first finished the 4 consecutive days of classes, and discussed with celebrity American professors like Jerry Porrs about the East-West business administration strategies. These brilliant courses included: Challenge of Innovation and Sustainable Development on Leadership, Corporate management optimization and operational innovation, Longevity for World Corporate, Big Data Applications and Business Intelligence, New Ideas and New Momentums of Global Trend, and Entrepreneur Ecosystem in Silicon Valley: Innovation and Financing Strategy for Start-Ups.
“Silicon Valley is a city of innovation and entrepreneurship that the whole world wants to learn from. The reasons that make the city the leader in these regards are far beyond hardware; it also requires supplementing system, culture, and the effect of conglomerate. These factors are crucial keys,” Professor Li Ji-Ren, Director of Taidah Entrepreneurship Center, says.
The Program begins with understanding of the ecosystem at the Silicon Valley, the forming of deeply rooted innovation culture at Silicon Valley, and the strategy of risk investment at Silicon Valley: corporate managers embracing Business Intelligence driven by Big Data in this smart learning era; knowing the key ideas, exchanging across industries, constructing open thinking, and, most importantly, putting them to action and fulfill innovation in business patterns.
This year we had especially arranged for students to visit the D-School at the Stanford University and experience first-hand the teaching of design thinking, the environment of design and comfort, the guidance style teaching that cultivates innovation and entrepreneurship among students, and the hands-on course of “Build a tower，Build a team”at the D-School. The results received high regards. Immediately after which in the 2 final days were corporate visits to Google, Plug And Play (one of the earliest accelerators in the world that focuses on hi-tech companies, and has successfully hatched famous companies like Google, PayPal, and Dropbox), Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, and IDEO. Students were able to observe American companies’ innovative operation patterns and entrepreneur practices.
The West Coast Program this year, NTU EMBA has joined efforts with the Center for Sustainable Development and Global Competitiveness of the Stanford University to make it an intense but fruitful. It not only inspires new ideas of innovation and entrepreneurship among EMBA students, but also develops their global vision in business management and idea about actual implementations: the only way to do it is to do it.
