Focus on entrepreneurship

Today's focus was on entrepreneurship. The presenter during the morning was Arnis Saukas from Stockholm School of Economics in Riga. We started the day by watching a movie about the development of the computer industry. After the movie we discussed about entrepreneurship. The discussions focused on the challenges of being an entrepreneur and setting up an own business.

In the afternoon we went by car to the neighboring town Sorø were we visited an entrepreneur in his business. The place we visited is called "Emils chokolade" and it was Emil himself who welcomed us. He is a graduate of the University of Southern Denmark and he started his own business, a chocolate shop.

The atmosphere during the visit was nice and friendly. While Emil presented his business idea we were served diverse diverse products from his shop: Champagne, Brownies, Hot Chocolate, Pralines, etc. Useless to say that everyone liked the visit a lot.

Thank you Emil for a great afternoon in Sorø!

Let's get started - Our first day in Denmark

The previous night in the hostel was relaxing for most of us. Only few said that they could not sleep well. There are four students in each room and with students from the participating universities. The Academic Staff members have seperate rooms. Shower and toilets are shared.

Our first day in Denmark started with breakfast at the University. The variety of food offered was more than enough. The food gave us energy for the official part of the program. The opening speech for the intensive week started at 9 o'clock and was given by the chairman of the event, Vibeke Toft-Müller.

After the initial hellos, we took part in an group performance evaluation. About two weeks before traveling to Denmark, each group member took part in an online survey. The objective of the activity was to display the preferred roles that the respective group members take within a group work. The outcome of the survey were reviewed during the morning. It gave valuable feedback for the participants about their strengths and weaknesses as members of a group. The activity was followed up by discussion.

Prior to the intensive week, the participating students worked in international project teams on three subjects:
  • Strategy
  • Marketing
  • Supply Chain Management

In the afternoon, each project group was given time to train and rehearse their presentation. It was the first time that the groups discussed their project face-to-face. Before that, the groups only met online. The discussion were fruitful, as they offered valuable input for improving the presentations.

For the evening, there is an international dinner scheduled. The idea is, that each students prepares food from their home country.

Denmark here we come!

Five students from the Degree Programme hit the road to Denmark today. Together with their supervising teacher Sven Rassl, the five are participating an international intensive week themed "Internationalization in Northern Europe". Together they will spend a week at the University of Southern Denmark in Slagelse.

The event is gathering students, academic staff from five Northern and Baltic countries to discuss on business related subjects during week 44. The participants are from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Latvia and Sweden.

The five students participating the event are:
  • Tia Westerberg (BNI06)
  • Annina Herala (BNI06)
  • Johannes Paasimaa (BNI06)
  • Katharina Haizmann (Double Degree student)

Visitors from German vocational school at HAMK IB

Visitors from a German Vocational School in Münster had been visiting HAMK Degree Programme in International Business. The students published a report (in German language) about their stay in Finland.

"Wir sind eine Gruppe von deutschen Austauschschülern, die im Herbst diesen Jahres nach Finnland gefahren sind, um dort Land, Leute und Bildungssystem kennen zu lernen. Ein Teil dieser Gruppe macht eine Ausbildung zum KFZ-Mechatroniker, der andere Teil ist in verschiedenen Handwerksberufen tätig und lernt zusätzlich den Fachkaufmann im Handwerk. Die Schüler dort haben zum großen Teil die Allgemeine Hochschulreife erworben. Bei allen Schülern bestand großes Interesse, sich über das Thema Existenzgründung im Ausland weiter zu informieren.

Schon auf dem Weg von der Fähre zu unserem Campingplatz Apianlahti in Valkeakoski sind uns die großen Weiten mit den vielen Seen und Wäldern aufgefallen. Als wir das erste Mal den Bus an der Sääksmäen Brücke verlassen haben ist uns direkt die frische Luft in die Nase gestiegen. Jeder hat sofort Fotoaufnahmen von der faszinierenden Umgebung gemacht. Die Natur und die Aussichten waren sofort das führende Gesprächsthema unter den Schülern.

Am Abend unserer Ankunft wurden wir von den Austauschschülern und deren Lehrern herzlich begrüßt. Durch einen gemeinsamen Saunagang, wie es hier üblich ist, wurden erste Kontakte geknüpft. Anders als in Deutschland gibt es in Finnland keine Regeln um die Saunakultur. Jeder bleibt solange er will und so oft er will. Außerdem gehen hier die Geschlechter getrennt in die Sauna. Die gemischte Sauna ist eher in Deutschland üblich. Im Laufe der Zeit sind uns bei den Finnen Unterschiede zur deutschen Mentalität aufgefallen. Hier in Finnland sind alle Leute gleich. Man wird nicht in verschiedene Kategorien gesteckt. Anders als in Deutschland, macht sich hier niemand eine Meinung von dem Gegenüber, nur wegen der äußerlichen Erscheinung. Unsere Austauschschüler haben wir als sehr kontaktfreudig kennen gelernt, so sind auch über das eigentliche Programm hinaus weitere Kontakte entstanden. Es gab in den Abendstunden weitere Treffen in denen uns die Stadt gezeigt wurde. Wir haben viel gesprochen, gelacht und diskutiert. Einige von uns waren überrascht, wie gut sie Englisch sprechen, da die Kommunikation mit den Finnen besser klappte als erwartet.

In einigen Vorlesungen wurde uns das Bildungssystem hier in Finnland vorgestellt. So wurden uns an der Technischen Berufsschule (Valkeakosken Ammatiopisto) die Unterschiede zum deutschen System aufgezeigt. Es war also jeder in der Lage, sich ein Bild über Vor- und Nachteile zu unserem System zu machen. Es sollte erwähnt werden, dass das finnische Bildungssystem international mit an der Spitze vertreten ist. Während einer Vorlesung an der örtlichen Fachhochschule (HAMK University of Applied Sciences) wurde uns die Wirtschaft des Landes vorgestellt. In der Vorlesung konnten Fragen zur Existenzgründung gestellt werden. Zu dem wurde uns die Fachhochschule selbst vorgestellt. Es war sehr auffällig, wie gut die Schule ausgestattet ist. Zudem gab es viele Treffpunkte, Sitzecken und natürlich auch eine Sauna. Auch das internationale Flair hat einige von uns sehr beeindruckt. Die Professoren und Dozenten haben alle einen engen Kontakt zu den Studenten. Die Lehrer werden sogar mit dem Vornamen angesprochen. Es ist bei Fragen der Studenten normal, dass sie direkt in das Büro der Lehrkraft gehen um über Probleme zu sprechen, Termine und Öffnungszeiten gibt es hier nicht. Es scheint, als müsse das Lernen an dieser Schule einfach Spaß machen.

Allen Schülern wurde es ermöglicht in binationalen Gruppen einige Tage im Betrieb zu arbeiten. So wurde das Arbeitsleben in Finnland ein Stück weit kennengelernt. Auffällig war, dass sehr ruhig und gewissenhaft gearbeitet wird. Zu keiner Zeit war auch nur eine Spur von Hektik zu spüren. Es werden öfter Pausen eingelegt, in denen man sich unterhält und Kaffee getrunken wird.

In Betriebsbesichtigungen haben wir auch international führende Firmen kennengelernt. So waren wir bei Kalmar in Tampere. Kalmar ist ein Spezialist im Umgang mit schweren und komplizierten Lasten unter schwierigsten Bedingungen. Desweiteren besuchten wir die Glasbläserei Iittala Group in Iittala. In beiden Firmen wurde die finnische Arbeitsmentalität deutlich. Es wurde vergebens nach Fließbändern und Akkordarbeit gesucht. Ein Ingenieur sagte uns sogar, dass wenn sie hier ein Fließband errichten würden, die Angestellten nicht länger in der Firma blieben.

Zum Abschluss möchten wir sagen, dass wir auf der Fahrt sehr viel Spaß hatten. Daneben ist natürlich das Projekt nicht zu kurz gekommen, denn wir lernten eine Menge über Land und Leute. Der Wertezuwachs, den wir auf dieser Reise erlangten, ist mit keinem Geld der Welt zu bezahlen und wird uns auf unserem weiteren Lebensweg begleiten und positiv beeinflussen. Trotz der großen finanziellen Eigeninitiative der Schüler und Lehrer wäre diese Fahrt ohne die Unterstützung Ihrer Stiftung nicht zustande gekommen.

Deshalb möchten wir uns im Namen der Schüler und Lehrer recht herzlich bedanken!

Study Excursion BAI05 and BAI06 to Frankfurt Germany

Friday, May 23, 2008

(see previous post)
...and go for a promenade instead. This turned out to be a very good
idea. The "see-and-be-seen" game could easily compete with the Zoo.

In the evening, we went out to have dinner in Sachsenhausen, one of
Frankfurt's oldest part. Many pubs and restaurants along with the many
people on the street created alomsot a Southern European
"fiesta-ala-plaza" feeling. The iluminated night skyline of Frankfurt
closed this interesting first excursion day.

A day in Frankfurt

Our first day in Frankfurt started with an ample breakfast in our hotel Mercator. The hotel is quite ok, although the rooms are pretty clairaudient. It must have been some lady whoes high-heels shoes' ticktack at five o'clock in the morning prevented at least some of us
from sleeping well.

The honorary consul of Finland in the state of Hessony, Prof. Dr. Alexander Riesenkampff, with whom we had our first appointment, expected us in his office at ten o'clock. The weather was nice so we decided to walk to this first appointment instead of taking the underground. We took a shortcut via some parc, which resulted in being at the office half an hour ahead of time.

The reception at the honorary consulate was warm and Prof. Dr. Riesenkampff and his assistant were welcoming us. The following presentation and the discussions about Finish-German trade relation lasted for about two hours. We covered a wide range of subjects. After the meeting we were invited to have a view over Frankfurt from the roof terrace of the building in which the consulate is located. The skyline of Frankfurt with its skyscrapers reminds somewhat to
Manhattan.

We could also see the 241m high Hessische Landesbank skyscraper building which was our second destination for this day. The acceleration of the elevator of that building could easily be felt in one's stomach (indeed, the descend even more). The view from that building was great. We took many photos from above Frankfurt. The sight was pretty clear today.

Since we became a bit hungry after all the activity we decided to go to a restaurant and have a snack. The opinions about what would be the best place to eat were a somewhat divided. Luckily we could agree on a charming cafeteria next to the old opera. Pretty soon after we placed our orders, we found out that our waiter mixed up some of the dishes so that three of us were serve a differant dish than ordered. As a compension were were all served a free cocktail.Because it was already pretty late we decided to skip the visit to the Zoo...

Photos & video of Frankfurt excursion not yet available

Comment to those blog readers following the Frankfurt excursion of
BNI05/06: We currently do not have the possibility to upload any
photos or videos to this blog. We hope that this issue will be solved
soon.

Departure to Frankfurt/Germany

Once again the Degree Programme organizes a study excursion. This time the financial centre of continental Europe, Frankfurt in Germany, is our destination.

There are eight students from the part time study programme plus one teacher. We will spend about five days in Germany, Wednesday 21. May to Sunday 25. May. During the next days we will provide daily updates in this blog about what is happening during the trip.

As usual, the budget airline Ryanair is our carrier. The check-in at Tampere-Pirkkala airport went ok. Prior to our departure, we had some discussions about the limited baggage allowance. Each passenger was allowed to bring only 10kg of own luggage, restricted to the usual cabin size baggeges. Mainly the female passengers amongst us were worried about being able to take additional cosmetic articles along. We solved the issue by booking one bag in which we stored all our cosmetic articles as check-in luggage.

While writing the message we are flying somewhere over Denmark. Once we can switch on our mobile phones again, this message will be posted to the travel blog.

A day in Ludwigshafen


Fachhochschule Ludwigshafen

Today we visited our partner university Fachhochschule Ludwigshafen. Our host during the visit was Prof. Dr. Lieselotte Ihle-Schmidt. She gave a presentation about current political, social and economical issues in Germany. In the same time, Sven Rassl gave a lecturer for the German students about Finland, and in the same time marketing the double degree possibilities between the respective schools.

Worthwhile to mention that a Finnish, a European Union and a German flag were flew in front of the university. This was very kind and made us feel warmly welcome.

An evening with friends

After the university we were invited to visit the home of the Rassl family. Were were served traditional German food and beverages. It was an enjoyable evening and we stayed almost until midnight.

Long night of the museums in Mannheim


After our visited to the town museum we took the underground, crossed the Rhein river and went to Mannheim. So our next destination was the castle in Mannheim.

The "Mannheimer Schloss" was renovated in 2007 for the 440 years anniversary of Mannheim. During the museum night, there were several attractions that could be visited.

We decided to start the visit with an exhibition in the south wing of the castle. This exhibition covered a creative clash of diverse art categories, progressive music, graffiti art and fashion design. In the first floor stood a 15 m a long table which was used as a catwalk for a fashion show.



On the second floor some guy built a little with about 10.000 kitchen sponges. We were not sure why he actually did this and what is was supposed to tell us, but it was certainly interesting to watch. Indeed the atmosphere in the building was filled with artistic spirit. Certainly an experience...


After a little break, during which we went to the city centre for a snack, we continued our tour in the castle. We thought we would visit the newly renovated baroque entrance hall, but since there was such a long queue, we continued in some other part of the castle.

The assembly hall was our next destination. In this part of the castle, a photographer showed portraits of famous DJs. The specialty of the photos were, that the showed the portraits focused on the most important body parts of a DJ: eyes, ears and hand.

Once we left the building we saw that the queue for the baroque entrance hall had disappeared. So we finally went there. In fact, after this tour it was almost two o'clock in the morning and the long night of the museum was about to close. Some of us went back to Heidelberg by train and some by car. We arrived at the hostel around half past two.

The long night of the museums

The long night of the museum on Saturday evening was supposed to be one of the highlights of the trip. And it was!

The concept of the evening was, that with one ticket you can enter more than one hundred different museums, art galleries and exhibitions in the Rhein-Neckar Region. At the same time, the ticket enables the holder to use all means of public transportation.

Based on the program booklet, we selected the events that we were most interested in, but we still left some room for acting spontaneously.

So for our first destination we went to see a dress rehearsal of the "Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz" in Ludwigshafen. The conductor of the orchestra is a Finn, Ari Rasilainen. Eventually we met him at the hall way and exchanged a couple of words. Ludwigshafen seems to have be an attractive place for Finnish conductors, as one of Ari predecessors was Leif Segerstam.

We attended two of their performances. First some people from the audience were given the opportunity to conduct the symphony orchestra. The "amateur conducting" displayed clearly how much influence and impact on the tempo a conductor actually can have.

Surprisingly, Ari Rasilainen even spoke Finnish during his moderation, which was of course well appreciated from some parts of the audience, namely us.



The second part of their performance was a a public dress rehearsal of Sergei Prokoviev's Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 100. As a special arrangement for the long night of the museums, the guest conductor Jac van Steen invited the audience to place their chairs within the orchestra, so the idea was that the listener could experience the play from a different perspective.



After the concert we went to the Wilhelm-Hack Art Museum. Three different video art works were displayed in this exhibition. One of them was especially inspiring. The video art work showed laughing people with different ethnic back ground. The laughter infected us and after a while we were laughing too. Still, the atmosphere in the museum, its black walls and the dim lights made this experience somewhat bizarre.




As our last station in Ludwigshafen we went to see a gig of a local R'n'B artist in the town museum. We listened to the performance for a while. On the upper floor of the museum an area of participation invited to perform all kinds of brain teasers activating spatial imagination, training sleight of hand or testing the knowledge of physical basics.


Safety first!

Guided tour at BASF AG

Our day started at 11:00 with a guided tour at BASF AG the world's largest integrated chemical production plant. After a watching a safety instruction video, our tour guided welcomed us to the plant. She told us that the tour would be in German language, because there were other people, mainly Germans, who wanted to see the site too.

The sheer size of the site is so huge that we actually had to take a bus to get around. The bus tour took about 45 minutes and we did not even see all parts of the plant.



After the bus tour we stayed for a while in the visitor centre. There is an interesting exhibition about the company BASF AG, their products and chemical reactions in general. The exhibitions is somewhat similar to Heureka! in Vantaa. It invites it vistors to experience the world of chemistry. For example, there are samples of different flavors and one had to determine whether they are natural fragrances or artificial ones.

Heidelberg castle

Heidelberg castle

Everyone had a good sleep after the exhausting trip yesterday. We met at 10 o´clock in the morning. The weather was somewhat better than expected. But still, this time of the year it should be much warmer. We took a bus to the centre of Heidelberg.

The public transportation is quite convenient in this region. We purchased a "24plus" ticket for 8,50 Euro. It allows five persons to use all means of public transportation within the region 24 hour after the ticket is stamped. It is the easiest way to get around.


"Universitätsplatz" was our stop. From there we took a short walk to the castle, passing the gorgeous university library (see picture)

The first challenge of the day was to climb up the 308 steps to the castle.


The castle itself is located on the hill ridges of the Odenwald. It was tough, but we all made it. There were a couple of school classes around the front court as well as a bunch of tourists, mainly Americans, Japanese and French. As it started to rain we seeked shelter in the inner court of the castle. Happily a guided tour in English was starting shortly after, so we took advantage of it.

Our tour guide, a student of history and linguistics, welcomed us. She said that she is a bit nervous since this will be her first guiding tour in English language. It was obvious that she is stronger in her native language German. However, the tour that she gave was very ok.



The history of the Heidelberg castle can be found here

After the tour we stayed in the castle for a little while. We saw the big oak barrel and took photos on the castle terrace.

Since we were all hungry, we decided to go back to the old town and look for a place to eat. We ended up in kebab place, were basically everyone ate a kebab. Our bulk order made it possible to bargain the price. And actually, kebab is called "Döner" in Germany and its taste is quite distinct compared to kebab offered in Finland.

The afternoon was used to discover the old town of Heidelberg. Some of the group drove to a supermarket and bought some groceries for the next day.

Tonight there is student party in Schwimmbad Club, which is very close to the hostel. Free entrance with student card.

From Finland to Germany - Wednesday 2. April

From Finland to Germany

Germany, here we come! We met at 16:00 o'clock at Apiankatu. Our airport shuttle, Opel Omega caravan was packed with two Chinese, two Vietnamese, two Germans and a lot of luggage. After a 45min ride we arrived to the airport and where we met the rest of our travel group. Our chauffeur, Max, took the car back to Valkeakoski. Check-in went smooth, the security check almost. Some of our travel group were told to use a plastic bag for their shampoos and deodorants. The usual stuff...

Our plane was about 30 min late. We hope that we'll still make it to the bus shuttle to Darmstadt. ☺
