Welcome and Introduction

Hello!! Welcome to my Blog.
I have the honor of receiving the Frank Smith Wilkinson Lectureship Award to participate in the two-week faculty development in international business titled, “China: An Emerged Economic Powerhouse in the Global Economy.” It will take place January 4-16, 2009.
The program is sponsored by The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) which is part of the Institute for International Business (IIB) at the University of Colorado at Denver. The website states that faculty will gain “firsthand knowledge of the dynamic growth of two of China’s leading economic regions”
The intended participants are business faculty who want to internationalize their courses, explore research opportunities in China and Hong Kong, and network with faculty and businesses in China and Hong Kong. Here is a link to the website: http://www.cudenver.edu/International/CIBER/Pages/China%20FDIB.aspx

The Wilkinson Lectureship is funded by a grant from the Wilkinson family to support study and travel designed to enhance our understanding of the global economy by broadening our perspective of other cultures, and by deepening our knowledge of how persons, firms, and communities may deal more effectively across national and cultural boundaries

Thank you to North Carolina Wesleyan College for making this available.

To my students:
Because I will be away January 13 – 16, please see My.NCWC.edu for assignments. I will meet classes beginning Tuesday, January 20.
