MG ED Colleagues:
I teach in and manage a graduate program at George Washington
University. The students are HR/HRD generalists and managers. We have
designed an elective course focused on HR/HRD in Central Europe. As
part of the course, we will do a "field trip" to 3 sites in the region.
To prepare for that trip, I am seeking contacts in Amsterdam, Prague,
Budapest and Vienna.
I am interested in generating both academic and industry contacts in
these sites.
If your organization has facilities in these settings I would appreciate
any leads you could provide.
The design of the course is as follows: We will begin with a primer on
the history, culture, politics and economics of the focal
cities/countries. With that as a basis, we will then examine business
practices in general, and human resource issues and practices in
particular. We will then spend approximately two weeks touring the
region, visiting facilities and holding roundtable discussions with
officials, managers, academics and students.
I will appreciate any ideas, leads or reactions you can provide. Please
contact me by email or phone:
