105 本系演講-International Marketing

Experience sharing on International Trade Management

Guest speaker: Casey David Sams

Topic: International Marketing

Date: October 13, 2016

Mr. Casey David Sams, (Marketing Director of Agra Boutique Co. Ltd)

Listener: Motamid (牟德明)

Motamid (牟德明)

Last week we had the distinct pleasure of listening to a great guest speaker namely

Mr. Casey David Sams, Marketing Director of Agra Boutique Co. Ltd share his insights

on “Experience sharing on International Trade Management”. Mr. Sams is an American

national having his MBA degree from renowned and eminent Feng Chia University in

2015.

Mr. Sams started off by introducing Agra Boutique Co. Ltd, a Social Enterprise

comprising of a small group of farmers working with socially responsible entrepreneurs

to promote agricultural innovation and internationalization of Taiwan. The purpose of

this social enterprise is to care about small farmers and the rural community. Profit is not

a primary goal as they essentially aim to create value to stakeholders rather than making a

profit for the shareholders. Also I can proudly say mostof the entrepreneurs are from

Feng Chia University Business School working under the guidance of Professor Dr. Han.

The reason for Mr. Sams to be a part of this company was simply because it

complied Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility. He went on to say that a

lot of big International firms like Apple Inc., Nike and Giant Industrial Co., Ltd. were all

guilty of some unethical activity. However, I personally differ from the opinion of

honorable guest. I believe that immense interest into a subject should be the motive to

take an assignment. This way one can justify high quality results and outputs. Moreover

running away from the situation is not the solution but facing the situation and improving

upon it should be the solution.

He further explained that Agra Boutique is committed to produce Eco-friendly

products without using harmful pesticides. Therefore they are completely organic

products such as tea, coffee, hand-made soap etc. He said we believe an honest attitude to

the land, to the crops, to the family, and the people who buy the product. He further said

that we admire single-source & fair contract policy.

Mr. Sams also spoke on the sales and marketing aspects of the enterprise. The firm

prefers more of e-commerce business like Alibaba.com to distribute its products.

However in my opinion tea is something that cannot be bought just by looking at the

packaging, as it has to be tried & tasted. Take Howard Schulz of Starbucks for example,

he got the concept from Italy and implemented successfully in America and later rest of

the world. Tea and coffee are cultural phenomenon. I think the enterprise should work on

building brand name by raising constant awareness of the importance of having organic

tea and coffee, as this is extremely good for the health. The above approach would surely

work in promoting the product drastically and consequently bolstering sales.

In conclusion, I felt that the presentation opened a new horizon for us to look at

career opportunities in various industries with open-mindedness especially the industry

that complies with Corporate Social Responsibility.

Experience sharing on International Trade Management

Guest speaker: Casey David Sams

Topic: International Marketing

Date: October 13, 2016

Mr. Casey David Sams, (Marketing Director of Agra Boutique Co. Ltd)

Listener: Tran Pham Minh Chau / 陳范明珠 (Kathy)

Agra Boutique Co., Ltd is the new and young company which deals with tea and

coffee in Taiwan, their market are aiming to tea/coffee stores, online shops and exporting.

The speaker focused on three points which I feel really important as bellowing:

1. CSR (Corporate social responsibilities)

Meanwhile many general theories said that CSR refers to business practices

involving initiatives that benefit society. A business's CSR can encompass a wide variety

of tactics, from giving away a portion of a company's proceeds to charity, to

implementing "greener" business operations.

But the speaker has a different definition of CSR. He mentioned: CSR is not only

the occasional fund raiser or charity event; Sponsoring a community event; Donating to

charitable cause. CSR should be foundational principle that a company operates under:

Fair practices with vendors; Fair treatment at employees; Environmentally friendly

production; Concern for public health; Community/Social involvement.

In reality, there are so many companies which exploit labors with low wages, use

children labors, use up exclusive position to make pressure for suppliers/farmer to make

lowest cost. Finally they have got big benefit, then they use a part of benefit to contribute

charity funds. It is not meaningful, it is not enough to become CSR. So the speaker

showed that definition is entirely true and updated. It is a higher and wider than general

thinking of CSR.

2. Inspire the youth for serious thinking about the occupation

Just start 1st semester of Master programe in University, almost students have not

thought seriously about their career in future, will they work at an international company ?

Will they become a professor to continue researching? Will they buid a new company?

Actually we have not prepared well to draw a clear path to say who will we be in the

future. After attending the last speech, listening the speaker push up to make decisions

- What you want to do?

- What kind of company do you want to work for?

- What kind of industry do you want to work in?

- What position do you want to work?

Then he elaborate, explain how important they are for the youth. I really got

inspiration from his speech, especially from this part. It made me change my mind, I need

to ask myself what do I want, focus on my strengths, improve my weeknesses, upgrade

my professional knowledge, prepare for my future from now on.

3. Win-Win concept

Relationships with vendors: deal with fair trade contract (don’t negotiate below fair

market value)

Relationships with farmers: maximize value for both entities: Lobby for better

government regulation; Educate the public and promote their regional productions;

Engage in collaborative marketing

Relationships with consumers: educate consumers on topics that involve fair and

sustainable practices.

In modern economy, every business cooperation should be acted under win-win

concept, it will make the business develop stably and last longer, otherwise the business

just exist in short term, or face lots of difficulties to find suppliers, customers,

cooperators.

Review on "Taiwan investment policy"

Guest speaker: Mr. Ming-Hsiang Chen

Topic: Taiwan investment policy

Date: October 13, 2016

Listener: 范州平 (Jack)

Taiwan now plays an important role not only in Asia, but also worldwide. Through

the Mr.Chen's speech, there are 3 main ideas that present Taiwan is an ideal place for

investment:

1. Taiwan advantages

Strategic Position:

Located at the heart of Asia-Pacific region, it is easy to transport from Taiwan to other

countries in the world including mainland China, the ECFA (Economic Coopperation

Framework Agreement) was signed between China and Taiwan on June 29, 2010 which

reduces the tariffs and commercial barriers.

Complete Infrastructure:

Taiwan has completed international transport facilities and logistic capability with 2

international airports and 7 international habors. The domestic transport is very

convenient with railway, highway and domestic airport. Beside, Taiwan provides

favourable price of oil and gas. The internet penetration rate is high.

Innovation Capability:

320 thousand students are graduated from college, university or higher education every

year which makes sufficient workforce supply to the industry. Local universities excel

in leading-edge research, which is one of the factors behind Taiwan’s expertise in high-

tech manufacturing.

Well-developed Industry Clusters:

Taiwan ranked 1st in "World Competitiveness Report 2013" for industrial cluster

development. Taiwan also get the highest industrial cluster.

Comprehensive Inttelectual property Protection:

Taiwanese government understands the importance of Intellectual property Protection

and aspires to create an environment that will better foster innovation and protect

Inttelectual property rights.

2. Taiwan business enviroment

Beside these advantages above, Taiwanese government is creating a fair business

enviroment, reducing administrative procedures, turn the country into a promise place

where

Economy:

- As a member of the international organizations such as WTO and APEC, Taiwan is

highly free in economic activities and follows the international practices.

- The ratio of government tax revenue to GDP is lower than 13%. Beginning from

2010, the tax rate for enterprise income has been reduced to 17%. Taiwan has become

the lowest tax rate country in Asia. Taiwan has signed with many countries the

agreements for avoidance of double taxation.

- Taiwan's exchange rate is stable, the capital fund costs and interest rates are lower

International ranking:

- The 12th rank among the 144 countries in Global Competitiveness Report, according

to World Economic Forum.

- The 3rd rank in overall investment environment by Business Environment Risk

Intelligence.

3. Foreign Talent Recruiting

Human is now considered the most important resource. Therefore, Taiwanese

gorvernment has been raising living conditions.

According to the "Location Ratings Survey 2015" published by the global human

resources management and consulting firm ECA International, Taipei ranks 7th and

Kaohsiung rank 11th of the 54 Asian locations studied. Taiwan's major cities have

modernized and provided convenient living environment, especially on the quality and

availability of medical services and shopping offerings. Since the implementation of the

Universal Health Insurance, Taiwan's medical services have been ranked in the top

among Asian countries, and have been close to developed European and American

countries, aside from having the relatively low cost. Taiwan ranks number 2 in the world

according to the Economist Intelligence Unit report.

As Taiwan is located at the heart of global cultural exchanges, varied food from

different countries can easily be found in Taiwan. In the aspect of living convenience,

there are more than 10,000 convenient stores in Taiwan, which means one store for every

2,000 people. Furthermore, there are schools, which meet the requirements for up to high

school education, for children of foreigners residing in Taiwan.

The convenient and fast visa application procedure is one of the means to welcome

foreigners' visits and promote international exchanges.

Moreover, Ministry of Economic Affairs has launched a "Contact Taiwan" program,

which welcomes the professional and labour from all over the world, make it easier for

them to find their oppoturnities not only in Taiwan, but also in their home country.

Taiwan Investment Environment

Guest speaker: Mr. Ming-Hsiang Chen

Topic: Taiwan investment Environment

Date: October 13, 2016

Listener: Ricky Tan (陳永福)

First of all, there are many reasons why foreign company chooses to invest in

Taiwan. One of the main reasons is the location of Taiwan itself. Taiwan is located at the

heart of the Asia-Pacific region, which puts it in an advantageous position to make use of

global production resources and the global marketplace. Taiwan is surrounded by Japan,

Association of Southeast Asian Nations and India, the US, and to its west is mainland

China. Therefore Taiwan does have Location Advantage of OLI Framework. In order to

gain advantage of this strategic position of Taiwan, the Government built transportation

networks which were important in term of conducting business with Taiwan (Taiwan can

act as the main gate to enter China market or even Asian market). Taiwan and China

formed ECFA to make a bilateral trade between this two countries more active. Today

Taiwan has 7 free-trade ports (FTZ ports) located all around the island as a mean of

international transportation and logistic (extensive infrastructure). Taiwan also equipped

with 67 other ports, 13 sea shipment ports and facilitated 828 direct flights between

Taiwan and all the major cities in China.

The next point that I learnt, Taiwan is very active in R&D and product innovation. It

provides quality products and services, which enable the development of international

brands. Taiwan government focuses on R&D department which is why they provide

R&D with low-interest loan (50%). Taiwan has competitive advantages; it is the second-

largest IT hardware manufacturing country in the world. Taiwan's semiconductor,

optoelectronic, information, and communication products account for more than 70% of

global production (Taiwan served as Global Supply Chain Centre). Furthermore,

according to the world competitiveness reports released in recent years, Taiwan is highly

competitive and has development potential. The high competitiveness and innovation

ability stem from the excellent technological infrastructure and talented human resources

(49% of labors are college graduated, although have low wages but they are motivated

and skilled). According to the Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic

Forum (WEF), Taiwan sustained its 14th position in the global competitiveness rankings

of 144 economies. Business Environment Risk Intelligence (BERI) ranked Taiwan 3rd in

overall investment environment among 50 countries. According to the "Index of

Economic Freedom" Taiwan is ranked 14th among the 177 countries.

Finally, Taiwan government provides an investment environment of low taxation.

The ratio of government tax revenue to GNP is lower than 14%, which is lower than in

most of the developed countries. In recent years, Taiwan has launched taxation reforms to

lower the tax rate and simplify the taxation system. Beginning from 2010, the tax rate for

profit-seeking enterprise income has been reduced to 17% from 20%. Taiwan

government also provided with 6 industrial clusters to support foreign investment in

Taiwan (FDI). Last but not least, in order to eliminate the shortage of workforce, Taiwan

government provided job opportunities for foreigner residing in Taiwan by using Contact

Taiwan (www.contacttaiwan.tw/). Taiwan has a nice working and living environment

completed with nice infrastructure/transportation. Taiwan also has the best health

insurance (NHI) for its resident. This is a prove to show that Taiwan government give a

big hand to welcome foreigner to invest in Taiwan.

林呈昱老師赴英國發表論文並探視本系在英國留學生

本人於今年 7 月 4 號到 7 號赴英國新堡 Northumbria 大學參加英國行銷學會

年會 (The Academy of Marketing 2016 Conference) 並發表論文。位於新堡的

Northumbria 大學在台灣的知名度或許不高,但是其商學院是獲得美國 AACSB 與

歐洲商學會 EPAS 雙重認證通過的優良學府,校園占地廣闊,也充滿藝術氣息,

此外新堡市內有兩條捷運線貫通,因此交通也十分便利。

落實學用合一的參訪–國貿系師生參訪關稅署台中關及台中港碼頭

國貿系為增加學生實際體驗國際貿易實務之經驗,提升學生職場競爭力,5

月 3 日由劉翁昆老師帶領近 70 位學生前往財政部關稅署台中關及台中港區參訪,

由關稅署台中關丁于真及林韋伶小姐全程導覽及簡報,內容包含台中關海關作業

及貨物通關之流程簡介,以及緝毒犬偵查等。藉由本次之校外參訪,達到國際貿

易理論與實務並重之目的。

劉翁昆老師帶領系上大二學生前往關稅署台中關參訪

參訪行程第一站先到關稅署台中關,由導覽員進行關稅局相關業務之簡報,

隨後前往台中港碼頭週邊導覽,第二站則前往台中港 8A 碼頭讓學生近距離觀察

輪船裝卸貨實況,接著轉往台中港的中突堤碼頭參訪貨櫃裝卸站運作情形,最後

前往旅客中心眺望碼頭風景與停放進口轎車的區域。當日豐富的行程,不僅讓學

生見識台中港的遼闊,也讓學生體驗實際的海關通關運作流程,獲益良多。

隨著世界貿易自由化的腳步,整個國家的經濟命脈會愈來愈仰賴貿易,期許

國貿系學生能透過校內理論知識之充實,並結合國貿實務之經驗,在畢業後能擔

負起未來發展國家貿易之重責大任。

海外學習經驗分享

國貿四丙 劉思廷

趁早規畫,做長遠的打算

覺得應該趁年輕多給自己一些挑戰與不一樣的嘗試,於是萌生想出國交換的念

頭。 我學習日語已有一段時間,所以決定去逢甲大學的日本姊妹校---近畿大學。

出國交換須從各方面考量,金錢的花費與修課規劃都需要詳細的打算,並與家人

討論。教育部與逢甲大學都提供不少的獎學金,加上善用學校姊妹校學費互勉的資

源, 其實出國交換的花費沒有想像中的高。修課的部分,若想出國交換又不延畢,

就得及早規劃自己大學四年修課的進度。 以我本身為例,每學期平均都修 25 學分。

最後是訂好想出國交換的學期與目標國家及學校,提早準備須具備的相關資料與

資格。

初到日本

近畿大學分配了學伴給每位交換生,學伴會至機場接機,並協助交換生的生

活。宿舍是單人套房公寓,有私人衛浴分離的盥洗室、小廚房,附帶家具與家電,

床、寢具、電視、冰箱、微波爐、鍋杓刀、吸塵器、電風扇、冷氣、洗衣機、桌子、

衣櫃,應有盡有。附近的生活機能方便,旁邊就有 24 小時超市,到學校與車站,

走路只需要 10 分鐘左右。

學業學習方面,有三種課程可以選擇。日語學習課程、英語授課專業科目、

日語授課專業科目。除了日語授課專業科目需有日文檢定 N2 以上的證明外,其

餘兩種沒有能力限制。日語學習課程依能力分班,沒有日語基礎的人也不用擔心。

若想抵修系選或系必修就要修習專業科目課程。英語授課專業科目選擇不多,

課 程以商科與文藝學科為主,其中商科多是基礎科目,如: 行銷學、會計學。所以

能抵修的課還是要上日語授課的專業科目才行。我怕日語授課的專業科目負擔太

重,所以只選了一門。台灣教育部規定一學期至少要修 9 學分,日本政府規定一

週修課時數至少要 10 小時。我按照以上 2 項原則安排剩下的課程。第一次獨自在

異鄉生活,面對許多事情要自己作抉擇與處理,也考驗自己的 適應力,新環境、

新朋友,每天都過得很充實,處處充滿驚奇。認識了來自台灣 其他學校和不同國

家的朋友,時常交換生活上的心得與意見,像是一群共患難的 夥伴。近畿大學提

供的課程與生活協助都超乎我預期的完善,國際交流處的老師 人也都很好,交換

生遇到什麼問題,他們都很積極地提供協助,很高興能交換到 近畿大學這所很棒

的學校。

從不一樣的角度觀察日本---打工

日本政府提供給留學生能打工的機會,只要在入日本海關時填寫一張單子,

就可以在日本合法打工,每週至多 28 小時。在日本,很多人在高中時就開始打 工,

因此學生很早就社會化,顯得成熟。因為我學習日文已有一段時間,所以想 挑戰

自己,決定去打工。除了訓練日語能力以外,也想看看日本企業的文化以及 消費

者的習慣,順便補貼生活費(笑。2016 年大阪基本時薪是 858 日幣。填了履 歷表,

經過面試,我到一家卡拉 ok 店工作,日本的卡拉 ok 店不像台灣的給人負面的觀

感,加上我工作的地方近學區,大部分的客人都是學生,所以很安全。工 作內容

就是幫客人選包廂、餐點製作、送餐、環境清潔、結帳等等。店長跟同事 人都很

好,知道我是外國人日文不好,都很有耐心地指導我。背了一張張的日文 待客

SOP,學到很多工作場合才會用的日文,也見識到日本服務業對客人的貼心 程度,

更體會日本職場中對輩分的重視,上司、下屬、前輩、後輩,要很清楚自 己的位

置並表現出適當的應對進退。守時,是我到日本的文化衝擊之一,同事幾 乎都會

提早 15~30 分鐘到公司。電車也幾乎是分秒不差到達,我常常不知道坐到 一站時,

只要對應手機 Apps 的預估時間,幾乎不會錯。

留學生涯近尾聲時,我的向公司辭職了,當時也正逢公司新接手後的一季成

果驗收,老闆舉辦了聚會邀請所有的同事一起吃飯,老闆關心同事的生活狀況,

也詢問家對公司的意見與看法,大家就像一個大家庭一樣,有著緊密的連結,讓

我體會到與台灣很不同的職場文化。聚會上大家輪番對我說了跟我工作跟相處的

感覺與感謝的話,我非常感動。公司老闆最後還勉勵我,希望我未來能為台日友好

做出貢獻與努力。

課業學習---日文、英文、跨國合作

於學業方面,日語學習課程裡的同學大多是台灣人與大陸人,有少數香港、

東南亞來的人。有些人本身就已在近畿大學就讀 4 年制的大學課程,有些則是語

言學校的學生,未來打算在日本發展或升學,因此大家都還蠻認真的。英語授課

的專業科目則有機會跟日本學生一起上課,老師是外國人,很多人對老師簡單的

提問都聽不懂,常讓我捏把冷汗,當然也是有英文聽說能力很好的學生,但是少

數。儘管如此,他們很多的讀寫能力都不錯。也許是太要求完美與害怕犯錯(這點

跟台灣的學生很像),再加上日文中的片假名很多都是從英文改造,導致他們發 音

上的混淆,聽與說的能力普遍偏弱。在日本長期生活而不會日文是一件很辛苦 的

事。

每天上日文課,加上生活和打工中常使用日文,不知不覺說與聽日文變成了

一件很自然的事,雖然常常還是會聽不懂或是無法用日文表達深度的想法,但至

少變得不害怕使用日文。來日本之前,我很擔心去日本交換後,英文會變差,因為

覺得生活中使用到 英文的機會應該不多,沒想卻出乎意料地變好了,因為交換生

有來自歐美地區的 學生,我與他們多用英文交談。上的課程中也有用英語授課的

專業科目。

另外,近畿大學有一棟很特別的建築叫 E-Cube, 進去裡面英文就是唯一的交

談語言,那是專門給近畿 的學生練習英文的地方,裡面有很多的外籍教師,隨 時

去可以找他們聊天、玩遊戲,甚有一些學院會規定 學生必須去幾次,要拿 E-Cube

的護照集章,每天也都 會有不一樣的講座主題,簡單來說就是打一個寓教於 樂的

英文學習環境。我很喜歡去那裡認識想學習英文 的日本學生,也很喜歡找裡面的

外籍老師聊天,各種 旅遊、時事議題、文化差異等等,在那裏我結交了許 多良師

益友。綜合以上幾項因素,我在日本接觸英文 的機會反而比在台灣多,所以英文

變好了,真是讓我 非常意外的結果。

E-CUBE 裡面的外籍教師們

期末時有些課堂開始要繳交期末報告,我有一堂英文授課的行銷課有機會跟

日本的學生同組做報告,要共同發想一個與學校或學校周遭有關連性的產品,並

且每個人都要用英文跟別人介紹自己的產品。

討論報告的過程中,首先遇到的關卡就是語言問題,組裡面除了我以外其他

的組員都是日本人,雖然是英文課程的報告,但畢竟英文不是他們的母語,為了

能達到最有效率的溝通,他們自然地會使用日語交談,以我的日語程度大致上能

聽懂他們的討論內容,但是一些細節仍需要他們用英文解釋。相較於日文,我的

英文比較好,所以在表達自己的想法與意見時,我以使用英文為主,他們有不理

解的地方時,我會嘗試用日文解釋。就這樣,彼此一來一往,英日交雜,努力讓

對方理解彼此的想法,達到共識,做出最適的決策。我很享受這樣的過程,就像

是體驗了一場跨國合作案,同樣的年齡,因文化背景和生活經驗的不同,會有不

一樣的想法,進而激盪出美麗的火花,討論的過程中,也能間接地學到日本時下

的流行用語,讓我覺得很實用,也體驗到學習語言的樂趣。

E-CUBE 裡面的外籍教師們

日本生活體驗

日本以擁有四季為傲,每個季節許多神社有配合時節的祭典,我在日本交換

留學期間,參加了日本最有名的三大祭典之中的兩個,分別是京都的祇園祭和大

阪的天神祭,特過祭典日本人表達對萬物有靈的尊重與對上天的感恩,同時也傳

承歷史與文化,繼往開來,參與其中彷彿回到日本古代,日式傳統的美與祭典熱

鬧的氛圍無法言傳。日本在傳統文化資產的保存上讓我驚嘆,不管是有形或無形

的。百年前的恢弘佛像至今仍莊嚴地端坐蓮台,俯視芸芸蒼生。極佳的文化資產

保存,連結過去與現在,教日本人不忘自己的歷史,也讓外國人了解日本文化的

獨特。

總結

交換所選的課程非常多元,有語言學習的也有專業科目課程。日語學習的部

分,我選了寫作與會話等在台灣比較難學到的課程,教授都是長期教外國人的日

籍老師,所以很了解學生容易犯錯的地方,加上發音、語感都很好,讓我覺得課

程很紮實,短時間內進步很多。很推薦有 N2 日語程度以上的學生選‘外國留學 生

特例科目’裡的日語課程,這個是給已在近畿大學讀 4 年制的外國學生加強日 語。

若無日語基礎或日語未達 N2 的學生可以選‘留學生別科’,就像是一般的 語言學

校。

我選的英語授課專業科目都是美籍教師教,因此完全不用擔心有口音的問題。

有一堂‘日本歷史與文化’由美國人用英文教,上課的同學有日本人也有來自世

界各地的外國人,大家常常對於一個禮俗或文化有不同看法,教室像是個奇異的

空間,把各地的人聚集一堂,用想法碰撞出綺麗火花,地球村的想像在此被實現。

過去我只有單方面從語言的角度了解日本,上完這堂課後,讓我了解日本文化的

由來與背景,到日本各地旅遊時,不再單純玩樂,學會深入體會演變的過程及其

背後的涵義。

商學相關的課程有機會跟日本人學生一起上課、合作與競爭。我發現日本的

大學生跟台灣的大學生有些地方很像,像是上課會划手機、睡覺,但是他們幾乎

不遲到也不會吃東西,對老師很尊重。日本的大學升學率大約是 80%,並不是人

人都能讀大學,因為學費很貴,競爭者也多,台灣的學生應該好好珍惜讀大學的

機會,別認為理所當然。日本的大學生在大三下或大四就要開始準備找工作,因

此入學後只有一到二年的時間準備,沒有太多時間可以玩樂,短時間內需變得成

熟、穩重。相較之下,台灣社會給學生準備的時間較長,台灣學生應該把握在學

期間多充實自己。

近畿大學對留學生的照顧非常完善,提供學伴、Host Family、住宿等生活協 助,

國際處的老師也能及時回應任何問題,很感謝近畿大學提供的一切,也感恩 逢甲

大學與父母,讓我有機會去創造不一樣的大學生活。

日本的交換生活讓我從日常生活、學業、打工、社交與旅遊中盡情體驗人生,

體驗青春的美好,體驗挫折帶來的成長,尋找自己存在於這世界的意義與價值。在

日打工,體驗日本服務業對顧客的用心程度,敬語、微笑、鞠躬是基本, 對小細

節絕不馬虎,像是接電話,依電話鈴響的次數不同才接起來,都有不同的 回話方

式。每個步驟都有 SOP,管理嚴謹,使我了解日本為何能為世界強國。獨自在異地

生活讓我努力在時間與財務規劃中找尋平衡。過程中會不斷問自己:「來到日本交

換的目的是什麼?」,每次得到的答案不盡相同,但我知道每一 次我問自己這個問

題時,我又成長了一點。面臨文化差異與抉擇時,我時常反思 文化與國家認同對

自身的意義。這趟一個學期的日本交換,5 個月的出走,培養 了生命中的養分,帶

著這些能量我將於未來的人生中繼續勇往直前。

很榮幸回國後,能受林呈昱老師邀請至商管菁英領導榮譽學分學程(LHP)中,

與逢甲的同學們分享日本的交換經驗,期許未來也能有越來越多人能走出去,創

造一段屬於自己的獨一無二的冒險故事。

are many student clubs and the campus is well located making it very convenient to live

nearby. An induction day with activities to get to know my classmates would have been

great.

I like living in Taiwan so far. The people are friendly, the weather is warm and the food

dangerous here. Buses are free, this is great but very slow. By bus it takes as much time

to go to the east side of the city as going to Taipei…

105-新生宿營活動

105-新生宿營活動

國貿一乙 張綿容

我覺得這次的國貿宿營真的很開心也很好玩!!不過一開始在第一個晚會時真的

會怕怕的,因為跟同小隊的隊員彼此都還互相不認識,覺得根本很難 HIGH 起來。

不過幸好學長姐們的表演都很精彩,戲劇演出也很搞笑,在歡笑中也漸漸地放下了

那不安的心情。

第二天正在跑闖關時的照片

除了很多精彩的表演,其中還有很多的團康、闖關遊戲。這些遊戲都是需要團

隊合作才能完成,而且也會開始主動跟身旁不認識的人聊天,也因為這樣才讓我能

認識到更多除了自己班上的同學。透過這些活動,大家都成為了一家人,也凝聚了

小隊的向心力。

而到了第二天晚上的晚會,大概是宿營最精彩的一個了吧!!雖然在晚會之前下了

一場超大的雨,我還在擔心會不會接下來的活動都會泡湯了,不過幸好天氣很快就

放晴了,也讓大家期待已久的晚會能這常舉行。

我所屬的第八小隊的合照

然後我真的覺得大三系學會的學長姐們很厲害!!從一開始的晚會、到隔天的遊戲、

營火晚會、表演……等,整個宿營跟活動都是他們花了好多的時間才準備出來的,

要不是有他們這麼努力地準備,根本不可能會有這麼好玩且令人印象深刻的宿營。

而除了系學會的學長姐,我覺得最需要感謝的就是一直陪在我們身邊的大二隊輔了。

他們除了要一直努力的幫我們帶動氣氛,還要時時刻刻的幫助我們完成任何事物,

真的很感謝他們。

而在最後也因為我們這小隊的兩個隊輔這麼的努力,再加上我們隊的團隊合作,

讓我們拿到了全小隊中的第三名,也讓我在這次的宿營中留下了更深刻的回憶。

參與迎新大一大二大三全體的大合照!!

而經過這次宿營,雖然過程中很累很克難,但也是因此才留下了很深刻的美好

回憶。而且除了認識到更多別班的同學之外,總覺得跟原本班上的同學好像感情也

更好了呢。謝謝學長姐為我們準備了這麼棒的迎新宿營,因為他們的辛苦及用心才

能有這麼棒的回憶,讓我覺得當初選擇國貿這個大家庭是對的!!

國貿二乙 曾郁庭

宿營的第一天,我們既期待又緊張,期待的是學弟妹的到來,緊張的是能否讓

宿營圓滿的結束。奇妙的緣分讓將近兩百人的我們相聚,在宿營這三天,我們彼此

心貼著心,用力感受。原本生澀的小隊員,在一連串的團康、大地遊戲、營火晚會

過後,大家都成為了一家人,也凝聚了小隊的向心力。

大一新生們跳早操

謝謝大三的全體工人,也謝謝大二的小對輔,暑假到上營的這段日子裡,每

天都辛苦的練習戲劇舞蹈,我們付出的勞力,撒下的汗水,都已經數不盡,為的

就是在上營的這三天,表現出最棒、最完美的一面給大一的學弟妹,希望能讓他

們留下充滿歡樂與笑容的回憶。

迎新宿營圓滿結束,大家歡樂的大合照

永遠不會忘記表演前那被香薰到流淚的眼睛,永遠不會忘記表演中想呈現最

好的自己的心,永遠不會忘記表演後那個做到了的心情,永遠不會忘記練習過程

中那流得汗和那酸痛的手臂。定米字、大八、風火輪,有時候總覺得手好酸快不

行了,但我們也都咬著牙撐過去了。兩個月的練習讓我們現在聽到 faded 這首歌

就會不自覺的數拍不自覺的想舉起手,練習時我們總開玩笑說在逢甲逛街一天到

晚都聽到這首歌很煩,但現在再聽到這首歌的時候,卻有了懷念的感覺,一種美

好都回憶。

香舞的 13 位女孩—國貿小精靈

迎新宿營圓滿結束,雖然活動期間遇到突如其來的大雨、小隊員或是小隊輔受

傷,但是大家還是同心協力完成了這項活動。從暑假第一天的開始練習,到迎新正

式結束的日子哩,我們大家一起歷經了汗水淚水,歡笑嬉鬧,爭執與妥協,共同度

過了這兩個月,讓我們內心成長了許多。宿營中能看見每個人的專長與不擅長的事

物,並且相互搓磨合,終至大家一起團隊合作,不管小隊的名次如何,相信大家都

是這次活動中最棒的。謝謝學長姐讓我們有機會參加迎新宿營,擔任小隊輔,才能

有這麼棒的回憶,我愛國貿這個大家庭!!!!!

105 國貿迎新宿營心得

國貿三乙 江宗諺

這一次,我接任了迎新總召,回想著前兩年,第一年是迎新小隊員,三天兩夜

開創了接下來的大學生活,看到任何人都相當好奇,來自不同縣市的同學都覺得很

特別,心想著台灣南、北部的人一定有差別,很想要認識大家,也非常開心有一群

熱血瘋狂的隊友們,最後第一名的12小隊就是我們!第二年則是迎新小隊輔,其

實成為小隊輔的時候,距離迎新宿營已經剩下1個月的時間,還記得,當時小隊輔

之間遇上些瓶頸,然而,很欣慰地,小隊輔們依然互相支持鼓勵,挺著走完這趟小

隊輔之旅。

總召,一位最上者的領導人,最重要的工作就是帶領、冷靜地思緒與信心,但

原本的我,也欠缺某些領導人所需的能力,使得自己跌倒又站起,跌倒了又站起好

幾次...然而,回頭一看,有幾十位夥伴也正在一起努力,乘著這大船艦向前邁

進,給了我團結就是力量!

去年當小隊輔的我們

最後的感性時間,回憶著三天的一切

即使我們遇上了幾次暴風雨,仍互相扶持地乘著大船艦。迎新宿營的三天兩夜

中,碰到了兩次大雨,這兩場大雨差點擊潰我們的船艦,當時的我們有些慌張、擔

心,在此,我由衷地感謝國貿系學長姊的熱心與幫助,帶給我們許多加油打氣,與

希望的信心,使我們能夠繼續向前進,完成這項大業,使小隊員享受三天的快樂時

光。105 迎新全體工作人員辛苦了!

紀念迎新圓滿落幕,開心的大合照!

Murphy 老師專欄

ANZUS

莫非 (Murphy) 老師

The Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty (ANZUS or ANZUS

Treaty) is the 1951 collective security agreement which binds Australia and New Zealand

and, separately, Australia and the United States, to co-operate on military matters in the

Pacific Ocean region, although today the treaty is taken to relate to conflicts worldwide.

It provides that an armed attack on any of the three parties would be dangerous to the

others, and that each should act to meet the common threat. It set up a committee of

foreign ministers that can meet for consultation.

The treaty was one of the series that the United States formed in the 1949–55 era as

part of its collective response to the threat of communism during the Cold War. New

Zealand was suspended from ANZUS in 1986 as it initiated a nuclear-free zone in its

territorial waters; in late 2012 the United States lifted a ban on visits by New Zealand

warships leading to a thawing in tensions. New Zealand maintains a nuclear-free zone as

part of its foreign policy and is not part of ANZUS, as the United States maintains an

ambiguous policy whether or not the warships carry nuclear weapons, however New

Zealand resumed key areas of the ANZUS treaty in 2007 (today bilateral meetings of

ANZUS are held between Australia and United States only).

Annual bilateral meetings between the US Secretary of State and the Australian

Foreign Minister replaced annual meetings of the ANZUS Council of Foreign Ministers.

The first bilateral meeting was held in Canberra in 1985. At the second meeting, in San

Francisco in 1986, the United States announced that it was suspending its treaty security

obligations to New Zealand pending the restoration of port access. Subsequent bilateral

Australia–US Ministerial (AUSMIN) meetings have alternated between Australia and the

United States.

The alliance engenders some political controversy in Australia. Particularly after

Australian involvement in the 2003 Iraq war, some quarters of Australian society have

called for a re-evaluation of the relationship between the two nations. Nonetheless the

alliance enjoyed broad support during the Cold War and continues to enjoy broad support

in Australia. One commentator in Australia has argued that the treaty should be re-

negotiated in the context of terrorism, the modern role of the United Nations and as a

purely US–Australian alliance.

Australia is also a contributor to the National Missile Defense system.

In May 2006, US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs,

Christopher Hill, described the New Zealand anti-nuclear issue as "a bit of a relic", and

signalled that the US wanted a closer defence relationship with New Zealand. He also

praised New Zealand's involvement in Afghanistan and reconstruction in Iraq. "Rather

than trying to change each other's minds on the nuclear issue, which is a bit of a relic, I

think we should focus on things we can make work" he told an Australian newspaper.

While there have been signs of the nuclear dispute between the US and NZ thawing

out, pressure from the United States increased in 2006 with US trade officials linking the

repeal of the ban of American nuclear ships from New Zealand's ports to a potential free

trade agreement between the two countries.

On 4 February 2008, US Trade Representative Susan Schwab announced that the

United States will join negotiations with four Asia–Pacific countries: Brunei, Chile, New

Zealand and Singapore to be known as the "P-4". These nations already have a FTA

called the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership and the United States will be

looking to become involved in the "vitally important emerging Asia-Pacific region" A

number of US organisations support the negotiations including, but not limited to: the

United States Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers, National

Foreign Trade Council, Emergency Committee for American Trade and Coalition of

Service Industries.

In 2010, the United States and New Zealand signed the Wellington Declaration in

Wellington, New Zealand, during a three-day visit by US Secretary of State Hillary

Clinton. The signing of the declaration ended the ANZUS dispute of the past 25 years,

and it was later revealed the US and New Zealand had resumed military co-operation in

eight areas in 2007.

On 16 November 2011 US President Obama and Australian Prime Minister Julia

Gillard met in Canberra, Australia to announce plans for a sustained new American

presence on Australian soil. 2,500 American troops are to be deployed to Darwin,

Australia.

On 20 September 2012 US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that the

United States was lifting the 26-year-old ban on visits by New Zealand warships to US

defence and coast guard bases around the world; US Marines had trained in New Zealand

and New Zealand's navy took part in the RIMPAC maritime exercises alongside the US

earlier that year.

Taiwan

One topic that became prominent in the 2000s was the implications in the case of a

hypothetical attack by the People's Republic of China against Taiwan, who would likely

receive American support. While Australia has strong cultural and economic ties with the

United States, it also has an increasingly important trade relationship with China.

In August 2004, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer implied in Beijing that the

treaty would likely not apply to that situation, but he was quickly corrected by Prime

Minister John Howard. In March 2005, after an official of the People's Republic of China

stated that it may be necessary for Australia to reassess the treaty and after China passed

an Anti-Secession Law regarding Taiwan, Downer stated that in case of Chinese

aggression on Taiwan, the treaty would come into force, but that the treaty would require

only consultations with the United States and not necessarily commit Australia to war.
