On Wednesday's Marketing Strategy class, we have a guest speaker: Ravi Chaturvedi, the former president of P&G North-East Asia. Ravi is very experienced in marketer and he has shared with us his personal experience in Japan to help P&G compete with KAO as a late entrant.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, I have interviewed two company executives in US because of a project that I am working as an intern right now. The interviewees are professional managers and an in-depth interview with them are very thought provoking. One of them have shared all he valued integrity in his company and he defines integrity as "doing the right thing when nobody watches".
On Wednesday night, I watched the Hunger Games. It's a great movie but I felt like the storyline is a little bit cliche even though the settings are quite creative. I enjoyed the movie and really looking forward to watching the next series.
On Thursday's strategic brand management class, we have a guest speaker from reputation.com, he has introduced us the business that reputation.com is doing right now and how to build a strong personal brand through online media.
On Thursday's Language and gender class, we have discussed about the language socialization and its effects on gender. One of the readings have mentioned how teenage gays are socialized through language, which brought me a lot to think about gender construction since the last class's media analysis (Please refer to the last post)
On Thursday night, GAPSA has a great event "Wine Walk" for all the graduate students in the school, it's an awesome event and people get to taste wines and get connected at different schools.
On Friday, I watched the 3D version of Titanic. I can't use words to describe how much I love this movie. I was only a primary school student when the last time I watched it, I barely understood all the lines and scenes. But this time I watched it again with a deeper understanding and I was really moved by it. I think it's not only a movie about love & romance, it's also about the value of life.
On Saturday, I went to Farimount Park to picnic with several friends. We bought food at Chinatown and drove to the park. We ate and read and rested on the grassland, under the great sunshine. It was a wonderful day, I got relaxed and energized.
