The seminar will be about combining engineering and management, international business and trade, and supply chains. We expect to gain a unique perspective into these topics since Mr. Jack Chen and Mrs. Maureen Chen started with electrical engineering and computer science, very technical backgrounds. We hope to see how engineers can become successful as entrepreneurs within the world of business. You can look towards the meeting notes you took for more information. Also, these two websites (JMC, a supply management software company here and PEC Global, a supply management consultant here) have more information about Mr. Jack Chen, Mrs. Maureen Chen, and their work; they will both be giving the seminar.
Free food will be provided at the event. And please note* that this event is happening on the 9th week, not the 8th week.
