SPSS Workshop for PLC

As a continuation of the faculty's research project with the Petronas Leadership Center, a workshop on SPSS by Prof Bahaman was conducted at Putrajaya Shangri-La. It is a bit difficult for the practitioners because the software was not made available. So a lot of imagination was required. But it was a good effort. And Prof Bahaman as always is a very interesting speaker.

PLC-UPM Collaboration

PLC-UPM Collaboration starts off today at the Royale Chulan. It is a bit of a challenge to bridge the thinking of the industrial players and the academics. Having said that, the session is still considered very interesting and knowledgeable to both parties. Hoping for more collaborations in the future for the benefits of the nation. The vision of the CEO is definitely motivating, "I don't want the research to be of a trivial many. I want it to be of a critical few."

Industrial Linkages

This year is full with linkages with the industry. Among others, SME Bank, DOSH, Tabung Haji, Petronas Leadership Center, MOHR. Did not have much time to write in my blogs. But, Alhamdullillah. I have learned a lot in the process. A few more to come, Insyaallah. I hope I will be given strength to fulfill my responsibilities well. Amin.

Case Research Workshop by Unirazak

Unirazak's Case Writers Club is having a Case Research Workshop from 5-6 March 2014 by Prof Jeff Shay. It was supposed to be an extension to the one conducted last year. But so far the slides look more or less the same to me. I predicted a miscommunication somewhere during negotiation between the sponsor and the speaker.
