As the global economy is evolving with financial crises, the emergence of China as a major power in many economic and non-economic dimensions, and the relative decline of Western Powers all suggest a need for multinational organizations to formulate and implement effective new strategies as a necessary survival response to a changing world.
To explore these fundamental changes with a focus on China and the Asia-Pacific region, the Drucker School of Management is pleased to announce its unique new course “Doing Business in Asia”. The course will be offered in early January each year, beginning in January 2010, and will include a twelve-day residential component in Hong Kong consisting of in-class lectures, corporate visits, and various social and cultural events.
The course will focus on formulating and implementing global strategies in the context of changing economic, political, trade, social and legal environments in the global economy. Students will explore the implications for multinational organizations regarding suitable business models, global footprints, off shoring and outsourcing strategies, as well as emerging markets and new competitors in China and the Asia-Pacific region.
The course is a partnership with the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and its Asia-Pacific Institute of Business. The Hong Kong class will be a 4 unit course open to MBA, EMP, TNDY and other students of Claremont Graduate University. For the full course overview and structure, please visit www.cgu.edu/drucker. |

The CEO Forum is a special Drucker School course taught by Dean Ira Jackson and Masatoshi Ito Professor of Management Kees de Kluyver, featuring guest speakers from leading companies who will discuss how they have successfully put Peter Drucker's principles into practice in their organizations.
This course showcases the contributions and perspectives of influential leaders in business, government and the non-profit community who, instinctively or explicitly, have been putting Peter Drucker’s principles to practice. In particular, all share a passion for innovation – in bringing products to market, in designing new business model, and in their approaches to leading their organizations. This class provides students with a rare opportunity to directly interact with prominent leaders.
The class connects management theories to proven success in the real world by featuring guest speakers from leading companies and institutions. Previous speakers include: retired CEO of Panasonic USA Don Iwatani and the current CEO of Vizio William Wang; the CEO of the California Speedway, Gillian Zucker; Howard Phanstiel, CEO of Pacificare Health Systems; Iqbal Quadir, founder of Grameen Bank; Allison Graff-Weisner, Executive Director of City Year Los Angeles; and Drucker alumnus Mitch Dorger, CEO of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade and the Rose Bowl.

DRUCKER APPS
In the next couple of weeks, high school seniors across the country will decide where they’ll be attending college—assuming they can afford it. More and more families are feeling the squeeze, as the cost of a four-year institution has more than doubled at the same time that middle-class incomes have risen by just 10%. In this edition of Drucker Apps, you'll find tools that will help you understand why this trend is so worrisome (and yet why it may not abate), the important role of community colleges, and how higher education may evolve. These insights—at once timely and timeless—are based on the ideas and ideals of the late Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management. |

Archived Issues |
When the world comes to Claremont it comes to the International Place! Over 700 students from 70 countries attend The Claremont Colleges.
As a multi-functional and inter-college space, the I-Place is an exciting hub of international activity throughout the year. It is a “home away from home” for students from abroad and from the United States; a lounge for relaxing with a cup of coffee and a newspaper or just to hang out!
The I-Place is also a center for cultural exchange and educational programming on key global issues, as well as a resource for international students for issues like student orientation, legal information such as immigration, employment, driving and taxes, housing, alumni relations, and many other issues that international students face.
So, whether you are a visa student, hold U.S. citizenship or permanent residency and have lived abroad, or simply want to meet people from around the world, the I-Place welcomes everyone to become a part of our international community. |
