New Program: Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business

// February 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Campus Life, News

Current and future international business practitioners are coming under increasingly challenging environmental and competitive pressures. The growing globalization, and regionalization, of business and competition mean that companies ever more value those graduates who have a specialist comprehension of international business. To build a career in the global business environment, these graduates must also have the knowledge to “think globally” and the skills and experience to “act locally”.
 
Nonetheless, being successful in the global market has been largely assessed by financial performance that an organization have generated; whilst overlooking their impacts on the society and environment. This has resulted in unethical business conducted by multi-national organizations which eventually led to the current global economic crisis. In order to overcome such challenges, the triple bottom line, focusing on “social, economic and environmental” should be taken into consideration to ensure the sustainability of not only the profit, but also the society and the environment.
 
In response to such situational change Dhurakij Pundit University, through its International College, offers an innovative and multidisciplinary program, the Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business. This program covers both theoretical and practical issues of global business; with focus on the above mentioned triple bottom line. This program will equip students with first-hand, real-world knowledge of sustainable global business practice, as well as specialized knowledge and skills relating to cultural, regional and leadership aspects of becoming a successful international business professional of the future.

CSR Camp 2009 Group Picture

On Wednesday 13th January, 2010, over 40 DPUIC students and staff travelled to the Arthornsangkanawatthana 3 School for the first DPUIC Corporate Social Responsibility Camp. The Arthornsangkanawatthana 3 School is based in a rural area of the Kanchanaburi province and their students are in both Anubarn 1-3 and Pratom 1-6 year groups.

I think I am too old for this class

During the day we performed a number of social responsible activities, including: preparing and cooking lunch for the students, planting trees within the schools grounds and giving the school a gift of sports equipment.

Here is a funny picture from DPUIC’s picture archives, taken at last summer’s DPU EduFest.  The event was great fun for both the visiting high school students and all of us at DPU!!  This is a snap shot of one of DPUIC’s most popular Ajarns, Mr David Common, participating in a self-defence lesson, one of the day’s special events.  So whilst you’re at DPUIC getting a graduate education you can also learn some other useful skills!!

Can’t stand the heat? GET IN THE GARDEN

// June 13th, 2009 // No Comments » // Campus Life, Going Green, Staff

Chompoo Trakullertsathien of the Bangkok Post recently wrote “Creating a lush garden is not only good for the environment, it can also help keep your house cool during the hottest time of the year”

Orchid

This what Aj Dom has done to make his home more green - “I did not have a garden as I live on the fifth floor, so I built a hanging orchid garden at my condominium. Thailand is world famous for orchids and they are not only beautiful but quite easy to keep, they are often found in trees and are perfect for hanging on pieces of wood. Also, as orchids can flower two or three times a year, if cared for and watered regularly, they make a refreshing spash of colour to any home.  If I am looking for new orchids I go to JJ market, often you can get nice ones for as little as 35 Baht!  Amazing Thailand!”

That’s a great tip Aj Dom, but don’t we have enough orchids on campus!  That is one of the great things about DPU, we are surrounded by amazing gardens.

What have you done to make your home more green? Send us some pictures so we can feature your greenery on the blog…  The best ones could win a small prize… staff are also invited to submit pictures (I am sure our Dean Prof. Charles has green metacarpels and I believe Aj David is a keen gardener too)!!
