Goals: 

To achieve the vision of Urban R2 (Research) School of Kean USA & WKU, two CBPM MGM faculty members (Dr. Jerry Choi & Dr. Chad Chae) wants to host the AHRD International Research Conference in Asia [November 16-19, 2022].

The virtual conference will invite more than 50 international renowned research presentations and more than 1,000 international participants for three days. Important figures from AHRD that will attend the conference may include Dr. Ronald L. Jacobs, a past president, and Dr. Jie Ke, a board member. As a hosting institution, WKU will emerge as an important Research nexus for the prestigious academic field. 
该虚拟会议为期三天，将邀请1000多名国际参与者和50余场国际知名的研究报告。人力资源开发学会将委派参加本次大会的重要人物可能包括曾担任学会主席的Ronald L. Jacobs博士和现为学会理事的柯洁博士。温州肯恩大学作为举办机构将成为这一享有声望的学术领域的重要研究纽带。

WKU wants to become the Asian hub not only for HRD research but also for Business, Management, Leadership, and Organizational studies with this momentum.  
借助这样的势头，温州肯恩大学希望能成为不仅是人力资源开发研究的一个亚洲中心，而且是工商、管理、领导力和组织研究的中心之一。

AHRD is a one of the most prestigious global research communities who lead and set research agenda in the field of human resource development, career development, organizational change and development, leadership development, and workforce development. AHRD research conference in Asia has been hosted in mainland China twice before, one by School of Government Management, Peking University, in 2004, the other by Faculty of Education, East China Normal University, in 2011.
人力资源开发学会是全球在人力资源开发、职业生涯发展、组织变革和开发 、领导力开发和劳动力发展等领域领导并制定研究议程的最富盛名的研究社群。人力资源开发学会的亚洲研究会议此前曾在中国大陆举办过两次：一次由北京大学政府管理学院于2004年承办，一次由华东师范大学教育学部于2011年承办。
 
In Nov. 16 – 18, 2021, the AHRD International Research Conference in Asia occur in Malaysia (hosted by Universiti Putra Malaysia) (http://www.ahrd-aracd.upm.edu.my/). The 2022 conference that is being planned will mimic the agenda of the 2021 conference. That is, the first day may be devoted to pre-conference workshops, while the rest two-three days will be scholarly speeches and presentations on particular topics.  
2021年11月16-18日，人力资源开发学会亚洲国际研究会在马来西亚举行，由马来西亚博特拉大学（ Universiti Putra Malaysia）举办（会议官网为http://www.ahrd-aracd.upm.edu.my/）。2022年的会议将会模仿2021年会议的议程。也就是说，会议的第一天会是会前工作坊，而主会议的两到三天将围绕着大会主旨报告和研究报告分主题展开。
 
AHRD Chairperson, Dr. Ron Jacobs (Professor of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (rljacobs@illinois.edu) searches for the next host for AHRD International Research Conference.
人力资源开发学会（AHRD）的领导者Ron Jacobs博士是美国伊利诺伊大学香槟分校（UIUC）的教授（rljacobs@illinois.edu)。他努力寻找AHRD下一年亚洲国际研究会议的举办方。

2021.10.27: Team Structure of PMC Program at O-K Center

Background:

The PMI Certificate Program development idea can be traced back to April  2018. 

The purpose of the PMP (PMI Certificate) program was WKU CBPM wanted to engage in "Wenzhou Business community" more to serve Community Economy Development. 

A PMI expert - Dr. Sarmann Kennedyd proposed the PMI & PMP development both in WKU and Kean USA in order to meet the high demand of the Project Management certificate not only from the student side but also from the Wenzhou business community. 

We had the following draft of planning. And you can see the attached PMP idea draft in the attached file. 

2021.10.27: WKU CBPM & O-K Center Project Management Certificate Program Meeting

https://youtu.be/kwEYV1D4fCY

Meeting Minutes (Oct. 27, 2021)

-----------------
Executive Summary: 
- OK Center and WKU CBPM MGM had a business meeting (Oct. 27, 7pm - 9pm @ CBPM B-208). 

- OK Center was interested in working with WKU CBPM to address "Real Business Problem Solving" with professional business consulting projects. 

- Due to the scarcity of Faculty resources, WKU CBPM MGM offered 1) PBL initiative, 2) WBCG group, and (potential) Outreach program for O-K center. 

- Next move will be continually discussed. 
-----------------

O-K Center (OneHRT) came to WKU CBPM MGM to discuss the "Project Management Certificate (PMC) program". 

Lisa (CEO of O-K Center), Florence (O-K Center), Dr. Jacob Chang (Economics), and a student translator came to the virtual conference room (CBPM B-208) at 7PM ~ 9PM (Oct. 27, 2021).

Dr. Jerry Choi introduced the current situation of PMC program in WKU CBPM. 

A. Current Situation of PMC Program in WKU CBPM
1. April 2018, the PMC program was initiated 
2. KU / WKU developed a Project Management course (MGS3xxx). 
3. Unfortunately, key talent left and the program was stopped in 2019. 
4. WKU CBPM Dean encouraged MGM to collaborate with O-K center for the PMC program (Sept. 28, CBPM meeting). 
5. MGM re-structured potential 'instructors' of the PMC program.

B. O-K Center's New Idea (Business Consulting Project Business?) 

Lisa (O-K Center CEO) proposed "Professional Consulting Project" enterprise to WKU CBPM.

Faculty members can take several professional consulting projects and perform them to create revenue. However, Jerry raised a concern of 'faculty resource scarcity' for those professional business consulting projects outside of class. 

Jerry proposed PBL initiative model that invites "real projects" to CBPM classes during the semester. 
https://leadershipcenter.tistory.com/473

Also, he suggested using the Wenzhou Business Consultancy Group (WBCG, Director - Dr. Rob Marjerison) for potential collaboration.  
https://leadershipcenter.tistory.com/515

Another idea is to create an "Outreach" program that interlinks with O-K center and WKU CBPM. While O- Center people work for professional consulting project, WKU faculty members can help them as "Advisory Business Partner". 


KU and WKU are aligning with our important mission of "Engaging and Helping our Community". And WKU CBPM MGM will continually discuss and elaborate the "Collaboration" with the Wenzhou business.

2021. 08 .18: New Provost Dr. David Birdsell's Four areas of CBPM 

Aug. 02, 2021

The Provost discussed four areas he will invest time and energy over the next 1-2 years: 

- Student Success: Retention and Graduation rates - wants to achieve above 50%, and see a double-digit improvement over the next few years. 

- Faculty Success: Emphasized it is not only scholarship (how many papers published); but does scholarly work have any "Impact" on the local economy, theory, and practice? Important that we talk about the impact for research. 

- Service: It is an important and a major part of our responsibilities and student success (Student advisement). 

-. Responsiveness: External engagement - as a public urban research university, we have a responsibility to respond to the needs of our community and our region. 

Deans and faculty should be involved in national, professional, and academic organizations. We need to think about how we can become more active and build relationships with the public and private sectors in the near future.

- Violation of Personal Information Use (Privacy Policy of Kean System)

- Hazing Issue

- Violation of Professionalism

- Violation of School Policy

- Disrespect the Diversity

Violation of Personal Information use:

He used my personal picture at WeChat in public without my personal permission:

This action violates the ‘Privacy Policy’ of the Kean System.

https://www.kean.edu/privacy-policy

Inappropriate words used: Personal humiliation, ridicule, or degrading the individual is defined as “Hazing”.

Hazing is not acceptable by NJ State Criminal Statute 2C: 40 -3 Hazing and in Kean System.

https://www.kean.edu/offices/center-leadership-and-service/greek-life/hazing-education 

Summary of the Hazing Occurring at WKU CBPM (2021. May. 01) 

Inappropriate words used:

She is not a government officer, but she tried intimidating me with misusing the word.

Using intimidating worlds violate the “Hazing Policy” of Kean University.

https://www.kean.edu/offices/policies/hazing-policy

A reasonable suggestion of reconciliation was refused.

This is violation of professionalism.

Professional behaviors include, but are not limited to: collaboration with supervisor, responsibility for learning opportunities, ability to receive constructive criticism, positive interpersonal skills and respect for diversity. Upon completion of Level II fieldwork, students’ performance in professional behaviors must “meet standards,” which is defined as “consistent with entry-level practice.”

https://www.kean.edu/media/2020-ot-student-manual

WE have a communication protol that we need to communicate with only approporate level and responsible persons.

This is violation of communication protocol.

And this is the violation of professionalism: “Collaboration with supervisor”.

The School suggested and practiced the Pass/Fail option for Remote Classes in order to accommodate the student's academic flexibility. 

When students wants to apply for Pass/Fail option, academic advisors need to check and sign on the application forms from students, and advisors need to report it to Registra.

Charity Session : A New Interpreation of Charity and Public Welfare:

Teach People to Fish - Do good to the People of Wenzhou

Mr. Ye Zhengmeng, Security-General of Zhejiang Xinhu Charity Foundation

Summary of the Charity Lecture Series by Doris - 徐佳吟 Doris.

1.    Wrong charity methods will have adverse results. People who receive too much money will become dissatisfied and become evil, which called "Marginal effect of gratitude" or "the anger of loser." So choose appropriate donees is very important. There is a very important principle of choosing donees:

a. Focus more on giving to those who are temporarily short of money (e.g. people who suffer from disasters), not those who are desperately short of money.

b. An important saying: "One of the major obstacles to true and permanent goodness is undue giving."

c.  Undue giving will lead to two results:

                                          i.         Foster dependency

                                         ii.         could result in moral kidnapping

2.    How to teach poor people methods(授人以渔)in a systematic way?

a. These things include:

      i.         Inspire people with desire. We should let people realize the importance of good life and possibility of having good life. Show bright future to poor people. Communication with poor people and make reasonable business with them: for example, we give part of money to poor people, and poor people also need to invest some money or efforts.

     ii.         Teach people how to make money. Examples (emphasize the importance of teaching methods): 1. hire agricultural experts to teach poor farmers how to plant Cerasus humilis. 2. provide money for undergraduates to start up a business.

1) The greatest "method" is offering education.

   iii.         Provide some initial money to poor people to start their business.

   iv.         Relieve poor people's worries

1) Worries include:

a)  afraid that products cannot be sold successfully.

b)  afraid that the price of products will fluctuate.

3. Developing leadership is more useful than teaching all people methods.

a. Example: countryside CEO plan

      i.         Leaders are the most important. Develop leadership.

     ii.         Give leaders more knowledge, skills, and resources.

   iii.         Some detailed way to develop leaders:

                               1)  Courses learning

                               2)  Base on practice

                               3)  Future plan planning

                               4)  Paid on board learning

                               5)  Synchronous tracking guidance

                               6)  Induction competition
