On June 5, 2020, the final presentations for the Global Management Forum course were held at NTU. In addition to GMBA professors and students, the four enterprises ATC, Anko, Aromate, and YCM, along with Business Weekly and other distinguished guests were all invited and gathered together for this event.
Through this course, we students were given the opportunity to visit and learn about the small giants of Taiwan. For instance, Aromate is Asia's largest fragrance manufacturer and has decades of experiences in producing fragrances. Anko is Taiwan's largest filling machine equipment manufacturer. YCM specializes in producing anti-mold products. And lastly, ATC, one of the happiest enterprises to ever exist, is a tier-2 supplier making high-quality oil seal products catering only to luxury car brands.
From working with these four enterprises, we learned how the manufacturing factory operates, how “lean-production management” can be achieved to a remarkable degree, and how we can apply our knowledge into practice. As a group, we have learned to strengthen our analytical capabilities and further develop our problem-solving skills by completing this project. From the multiple weekend Zoom meetings with senior executives and professors, we were continually challenged to facilitate discussion and progress our mindsets. We believe these are the most valuable takeaways from this impactful experience.
After all of the group presentations were delivered, the professors and the representatives of the four enterprises provided comments and constructive feedback. At the end of the event, we took group photos, and the GMBA program presented awards to each of the four enterprises to express gratitude for a successful partnership. Thank you all for such a fruitful and inspiring journey. We are looking forward to creating more value together in the future!
GMBA 今年再度設置為期三個月的 GLOBAL MANAGEMENT FORUM， 簡稱 “GMF” 課程。6/5在台大重光講堂舉行期末成果發表會，邀請商周及四家企業：全拓工業、安口食品機械、優克美、亞洛美和GMBA師生匯聚一堂。特別的是，這四家企業都是台灣隱形冠軍的企業典範。
GMF不僅結合課堂教學與實務操作訓練，提供學生企業參訪的機會，還訓練同學以顧問諮詢的模式，與企業互動交流，達到學以致用的意義。
發表會在管理學院胡星陽院長與商周總編輯曠文琪女士致詞拉開序幕，緊接著由各組同學輪番上陣報告，針對企業提出的題目，做出市場分析，以及提出如何增加企業競爭優勢的建議，授課導師和四家企業代表也親自點評給出學生建設性的反饋。歷經三個月師生們不斷的腦力激盪，才能共同完成這次深刻又兼具意義的研究報告。
活動在GMBA致贈感謝狀與小禮物予四位企業，以及熱烈歡愉的氣氛下合影留念，劃下美麗的句點。同學們更期待在未來為自身與協助過的企業創造更多價值。
