One thing I always tell my colleagues and students during presentations, "If you don't have confidence in what you are doing, how will people have confidence towards you?" believe in yourself, have fun and your viewers will mirror that! Good luck with your presentations tomorrow!

HKTDC Electronic Spring Fair 2018 & 123 Canton Fair 2018

It was nice to see everyone (new and familiar faces). Just been informed I have been attending these shows since 2006 (time flies). In a nutshell; In comparison to previous years, both shows were more "technology" and "gadget" orientated with the primary focus on products such as drones, robotics, speakers and wearable technology. But there were several pretty interesting and promising concepts which can be seen floating around.

MBA dissertation "How is value utilised across .."

My final and major “master-piece” MBA "qualitative case study" (dissertation) on "How is value utilised across collaborative product development between Chinese manufacturers and international buyers (manufacturers ODM)?" has finally been completed (40 000+ words)!

Why have I selected this topic as my major piece?

The purpose of the MBA & MCMI is not to simply add on an extra two titles behind my name (even though it is pretty cool), but an opportunity to reflect, enhance and align my leadership skills to the 21st century dynamic enviroment whilst exploring and sharing key factors which I have experienced within the product development and manufacturing sector whilst working in China "establishing the source of value generated across collaborative product development (manufacturer ODM) between Chinese manufacturers and international buyers" and "influence of value, across collaborative produce development (manufacturers ODM) between Chinese manufacturers and international buyers".

This thesis was not purely for the MBA or MCMI; but a piece of research with is beneficial and applicable to real-life product and business development process scenrios.
