Global Team Project 毕业论文
全球商业计划项目(Global Team Project)提供了一个让欧洲奥地利,中国以及美国的EMBA学员进行跨文化学习、交流和合作的平台。 学员们组成跨越文化和地区的小组,通过构思一个在海外市场投放产品或服务的商业计划,挑战学生的创造性,每个小组都会经历向每个成员征集想法,讨论并作出战略性决议的过程。通过调动在EMBA课程里了解到的管理学工具,如战略,国际化市场营销,运营管理,领导力,财务技能及其它,并在实际商业领域里融会贯通,给学员提供机会实践所学的理论,最终共同完成一个综合的可实现的商业策划书。在“项目”的完成八个月的合作后,所有的学生将在5月份到明尼苏达大学双城校区的卡尔森管理学院,面向教授和同学进行商业计划的汇报并接受最终学分的评估。 通过与欧洲奥地利,美国的队友一同合作设计商业计划,增强跨三大洲的职业经理人(个人)网络,让学生参加跨文化团队,探索在全球团队中工作时应有的沟通风格、工作风格、冲突风格和文化策略。全球商业计划项目是卡尔森管理学院EMBA项目课程的核心组成部分,许多学员都把它评价为最具挑战性却收获最大的EMBA经历。 PS:GTP(Global Team Project)原名是VTP(Virtual Team Project), 于2018年后改名为GTP。
The Global Team Project (GTP) provides Carlson School Executive MBA students with the unique opportunity to work in a collaborative team environment across cultures, industries, and markets. As participants in the GTP, students develop advanced skills in teamwork, cross-cultural collaboration, and business plan development within a dynamic environment shaped by academic rigor and the demands of real-world international business. Each virtual team consists of students from all three of the Carlson School's Executive MBA programs: Minneapolis, Minnesota Vienna, Austria Guangzhou, China It is up to each team to develop norms and processes for the development of an integrated business plan designed for success in the real world.

EMPOWERING GROWTH, COLLABORATION, AND GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
Guided by a faculty leader in each program, the GTP participants learn from each other, develop a detailed business plan, and ultimately present to their fellow students and faculty evaluators at the conclusion of their degree program on the Carlson School campus in Minnesota. Graduates of the Carlson School's Executive MBA programs often refer to the GTP as one of their most meaningful learning experiences, with immediate application to their professional lives and careers. Relationships formed during the GTP often endure and enhance the participants' global network of colleagues and friends.

The Global Team Project really created a good opportunity for me to improve my skillset in business planning, strategy development, and implementation in a multicultural environment.

“最激动人心的时刻,是VTP虚拟商业项目模块。卡尔森管理学院在美国本土、奥地利维也纳、中国广州的全球三大国际EMBA项目学员110人,分成18个小组,每组由来自三地的6名学员组成一个虚拟团队,用八个月的时间,跨国、跨时区的网络、电话沟通,从组队、制定team charter、项目选题、评估、市场策略、运营计划制定到财务核算,完成一份跨国商业计划。” “在这个过程中,我们学习到的不仅仅是如何制定一份convincing的商业计划书,而且深刻理会到跨文化沟通和全球化协作的重要性,美国同学的个性与直率,欧洲同学的绅士与严谨,中国同学的活力与热诚,融合在一起形成推动世界的创造力。而最终的VTP提案会,使大家真正的knee 2 knee, eye 2 eye地碰面,颇有相见恨晚的感觉,白天上课,午餐畅聊,晚间整理排练提案,午夜相约聚会宿醉,真正感到地球村的其乐融融。”

“在整个项目的进行过程中,我们克服了文化、沟通、工作风格、价值观、地理、时差等诸多障碍和挑战,几乎把两年间学到的知识都利用起来了。虽然过程艰辛,但是一路走来,不断磨合,深刻体会到面对面交流的重要性,在不同的文化背景下激发出来的创造力和活力让这成为一次难为而富有意义的经历。当项目完美谢幕时,结果已经不重要,重要的是享受这持续了八个月的过程。”

“此行重头戏——VTP(Virtual Team Project)展示如期进行,在卡尔森管理学院的管理者和导师们的带领和见证下,我们将这两年积聚的脑力与口才激荡演绎,共同献上一台生机勃勃的全球商业策略智慧盛宴。对于每一个参与者来说,这超越文化背景、价值观、沟通方式、工作风格、从业经验等的精诚合作,都是弥足珍贵的记忆和知识财富。”

“对于CHEMBA15的学子们而言,这是一个非常具有考验性和挑战性的项目。在虚拟的远程合作的半年里,他们尝试和异国远洋的小伙伴们通过全球化的线上会议,进行项目交流、沟通,发表各自的见解,免不了经历各种唇枪舌战的不同意见的讨论。令大家感触最深的是,这个项目涉及的历练已远远超越了他们的专业能力,它还是一场来自中西思维的剧烈碰撞,更是关乎全球化的团队如何在磨合中推进项目的化学反应。这正是VTP的宗旨所在。”

“说到CHEMBA项目最大的特色,GTP肯定会占一席之地,这是区别其他EMBA项目的最大不同。这是一个多方合作的作品,而且合作的对象是来自不同国家、有着不同文化背景和说着不同语言的不同职业领域的人员。长达数月之久的GTP项目可以说是一个接触-表达-抗拒-沟通-改变-适应的过程。因为成长的背景不同,决定了大量的沟通成本,但也迫使着自己从根本去打磨想法,把事情琢磨透彻。同时,一开始因为固有思维所限,对欧美国家同学的想法可能会不认同,难以适应国情,但回头细想,GTP的目标是Global,中国企业要走出去就必然要具备全球视野和适应不同文化。所以,心态改变了,沟通就更加畅顺了。这里的改变并非妥协,而是打破自己的局限去从不同角度理解和解决问题。GTP还是一个打磨自己领导力的过程,每一次开会前的准备、开会过程中的讨论引导和开会后的行动跟踪,需要的不只是简单的记录和跟进,而是要充分了解不同背景同学的真实想法并使用共同的理论框架去引导,所以,我们都笑称,老外都能搞得掂,何愁公司的员工。”

In another case, the story is about Global Team Project (GTP), which is the most important business case write-up in CHEMBA. The project team is consisted of EMBA students of Carlson school from China, the US and Europe. In that project, we had a lot of differences: time zone, cultural background, ways of thinking, and English accents (think about dear Indian counterparts). That’s where you can have the immersed experiences of diversity. Our foreign peers would start with great confidence that their business model proposals are innovative with new technological applications, while ultimately, they might marveled to find those are already common practice in China. And they also admired that we can already travel to work and take business trips around China, while they still work from home for a long period of time due to the constant Covic outbreak in their cities.
And this is the moment I feel proud to be a Chinese, and to be someone who can act as an ambassador to showcase a strong and developed China.
