Integration Workshop for Graduating Students under Comprehensive

The Comprehensive Graduate School of Business and Advanced Technology Management (GS-BATM) conducts integration workshops for graduate students who are newly enrolled in the programs at the beginning of each semester, as well as for graduating students at the end of each trimester. These workshops are designed to allow students to practically apply concepts and techniques learned in class. They focus on promoting responsible participation, collaboration, and ethical decision-making in real-world scenarios.

Key Features of the Workshop:

1. Interactive Lectures and Discussions: The lectures are designed to be highly interactive, encouraging students to ask questions, participate in discussions, and share their perspectives. Discussions aim to promote critical thinking and in-depth analysis of management concepts and theories, enhancing students’ understanding of complex topics.
2. Team-Based Learning: Students collaborate on projects and assignments in groups, fostering collaboration, communication, and collective problem-solving skills. The emphasis on peer accountability and group work promotes a sense of responsibility and teamwork, helping students develop skills essential for success in the professional world.
3. Ethical Decision-Making: Simulations and exercises within the workshops often include ethical issues, requiring students to apply ethical principles when making decisions. This encourages students to consider the impact of their actions on various stakeholders and to make decisions that align with ethical standards.

Steps for Organizing the Project:

1. Prepare Student Manuals, Survival Kits, and Information Guides: Resources are created to provide essential information and guidance to participants, ensuring that they have the tools to succeed during the workshop.
2. Invite and Inform Students and Faculty Members: Students and faculty members are invited to attend the workshop through formal invitations, ensuring a good turnout and active participation.
3. Arrange Facilities and Reception: Organizing the logistics of the event, including the setting up of facilities, reception desks, and registration kits for a smooth workflow.
4. Faculty-Led Workshop Activities: The faculty team conducts various activities that are designed to enhance students’ learning experience, helping them apply the theoretical knowledge in practical situations on campus.
