10.09.-14.09.2007
1.) Understanding Culture and Bahasa Language in Indonesia
Dr. R�diger Krechel, International Lecturer
(Switzerland/Indonesia)
ECTS: 2

culture, tradition, language and social values of the society. The seminar

environment of Indonesia and Bali combined with excursions to places of
cultural interest.
Optional: In case of interest a certificate in Bahasa Language (basic
level) can be achieved by extending the language part over the full
semester in regular weekly or fortnight meetings by private arrangement.

2.) Intercultural Management Competence
Dr.
R�diger Krechel, International Lecturer (Switzerland/Indonesia)
ECTS: 4
Globalization and international cooperation influence life all around the
world. Culture changes as opinions from one generation to the next change.
But the change that is taking place now is radical and unique:
Globalization connects different lifestyles and learning cultures in
diverse countries and creates new needs, new learning and professional
competencies and new teaching concepts.
The internationalization of management has changed a manager�s traditional
skill profile. Traditional management know-how alone is not enough to
handle the challenges of today�s world of business. Intercultural
competence is a requirement for success in transnational and culturally
mixed fields of work. It can avoid costly conflicts and misunderstandings
and develop a synergistic effect in intercultural teamwork. Management
methods have gained increasing importance not only in economics but also
in fields of work such as administration, science, and non-governmental
organizations. Intercultural Management is designed to support fair
distribution of power in company policies and organizational structures.
It is not a new management method. This is about the classic management
functions such as planning and decision-making, hiring and placement of
resources and employees, personnel and handling negotiations.
24.09.-28.09.2007
3.) Indonesia as a Developing and Industrialized Country
Prof. Dr. Uwe Rehling, Director of EOC (Germany, Indonesia)
ECTS: 4 Credits
The
seminar shows the history and interdependencies of "development" as a base
for strategies in the International Decades of Development under United
Nations. A changing interpretation of development and its related
indicators have lead to the goal of sustainable development which will be
reflected
upon examples of the development situation of Indonesia in selected areas
and national and international context.
The question arises: can development be initiated by external development
assistance and who gets the profit ?
Participants identify relevant data and information of Indonesia and
neighbouring countries to understand problems and potentials for economic
and social development. Excursions to the rural part of Bali and
neighbouring islands will give an insight of "dual" development in a
transforming society.

received considerable attention in recent years from both scholars in
academia and executives in the international business and media
communities. Topics are introduced by the book �Total Global Strategy II�
and in one or more empirically or theoretically oriented articles
published in leading economics, management, international business, and
media journals. For most topics recent real world cases are provided which
illustrate the relevance of the issue while confirming, or challenging,
concepts and theories described in the readings. The course uses a system
of lectures and tutorial groups to stimulate teamwork skills and the

7.) International Marketing
Dr.
Rob Hecker, School of Management, University of Tasmania, Hobart/Tasmania
(Australia)
ECTS: 4
International Marketing focuses on the challenge, as well as
opportunities, of marketing new and existing products to the global
marketplace considering the different cultural, economic, technological,
political and legal environments in each country, and the impact these
factors will have on the marketing process. In it simplest form,
international marketing involves taking the marketing mix (the product,
price, promotion and placement) across international borders. This can be
achieved through a range of foreign market entry methods (for example
licensing or exporting). In its more complex form, international marketing
may involve establishing a manufacturing and distribution presence
offshore or the purchase of a company in an overseas country. This forms
the basis of the knowledge that students are required to develop. The
course is primarily based on short lectures and assessable case studies
with individual students taking the lead in case discussions. At the same
time students in groups will develop a full marketing plan section by
section as the course progresses. The marketing plan and the final
presentation to the rest of the class represent the majority of assessable
work.

8.) Analysing Regions and Countries for Prospects
of Growth: using Porter, Diamond and
Florida
Dr. Dallas
Hanson, University of Tasmania, Hobart/Tasmania (Australia)
ECTS: 4
To outline three major theories that explain why some regions prosper and
others do not. Diamond does the broadest theory, Porter the biggest
management theory and Florida the current popular culture based theory.
The course is useful for all policy people whatever their affiliation. It
is essential for workers in new technologies because it allows
understanding of the context of their efforts. The key illustrative case
would be Singapore and the key industry environmental engineering in
Tasmania.
