    "European Films as a Management Education Teaching Resource"
    Joseph E. Champoux, University of New Mexico, MED Chair of Film in Teaching

    Invited speaker, XVII Congreso Anual / XIII Congreso Hispano-Francés,
    Asociación Europea de Directión y Economía de la Empresa (AEDEM), Bordeaux,
    France,
    4-6 June 2003.

    Reported to MED List 28 June 2003

    I recently traveled to Bordeaux, France as an invited speaker to present
    some
    observations on using European films as teaching resources in management
    education. Teresa Torres, MED Spain Liaison was the key figure in arranging
    the
    invitation. She coordinated all activities for the presentation, including
    preparing and bringing handout materials. Many thanks Teresa. This extremely

    rewarding activity was part of my role as MED Chair of Film in Teaching.

    I estimate about 100 people at the presentation. Teresa can comment
    separately on the response to the presentation. I judged the presentation as
    successful
    based on questions from the audience and the spontaneous comments I received

    from many attendees.

    I will present this report formally to the MED Executive Committee in
    Seattle. I will gladly include any comments from people who review it.

    "Japanese Films as a Management Education Teaching Resource"

    Joseph E. Champoux, University of New Mexico, MED Chair of Film in Teaching

    Nippon Academy of Management Education, 20-22 June 2003
    Management Education Division exchange speaker

    Reported to MED List 28 June 2003

    I recently traveled to Japan as the MED exchange speaker to the Nippon
    Academy of Management Education (NAME). My presentation centered on using
    Japanese
    films as teaching resources in Japan university and college business and
    management programs. In addition to my NAME talk on 21 June 2003, I
    presented some
    similar observations to the Chiba University of Commerce faculty and
    students
    on 20 June 2003.

    Yuji Yoshida, MED's Japan Liaison, was my host. He built a comfortable set
    of
    experiences for me. These included arranging my stay at the well-appointed
    Chiba University Guest House and guided tours of many parts of Tokyo. He
    also
    arranged the Chiba Unversity talk and prepared handout materials for both
    presentations. Many thanks Yuji. You made my stay a rewarding and
    informative
    experience.

    I estimate about 120 people at the scheduled NAME presentation. The social
    that followed likely had about 250 people. Yuji's introductions (assuming I
    understood everything correctly) included a description of the speaker
    exchange
    program between MED and NAME as an annual event, his role as the Japan
    liaison
    to MED, and the nature of my continuing work with film as a teaching
    resource.

    Yuji can comment on the response to the presentations. I judged them
    successful based on questions from the audience and the spontaneous comments
    I
    received at the NAME social and from the Chiba University of Commerce
    faculty and
    students.

    I will present this report formally to the MED Executive Committee in
    Seattle. I will gladly include any comments from people who review it.

    "Film as a Management Education Teaching Resource"

    Joseph E. Champoux, University of New Mexico, MED Chair of Film in Teaching

    The School of Business, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, 24 June 2003

    Reported to MED List 28 June 2003

    I had planned a side trip to Seoul, Korea following my activities at the
    Nippon Academy of Management Education (NAME) and Chiba University of
    Commerce in
    Tokyo. My publisher's Asian offices of Thomson Learning kindly arranged a
    visit to Yonsei University in Seoul. Professor Hun-Joon Park, Associate
    Dean, The
    School of Business, agreed to a presentation to some faculty and students
    about teaching and learning with film. I showed portions of Top Gun and Head

    Office to discuss how cinema techniques can en-hance learning and teaching.
    I also
    showed portions of the Korean film, The Way Home, to introduce a discussion
    about the growing Korean cinema and how it could become in-tegrated into a
    teaching and learning program. An active discussion followed in which I
    learned a
    great deal about emerging Korean cinema, including animated film. Professor
    Park will continue discussions about teaching with film at the late August
    meeting of the Korean business administration association.

    I will present this report formally to the MED Executive Committee in
    Seattle. I will gladly include any comments from people who review it.
