This unique course calls for a unique kind of students! Students, who want to ‘make a difference in a society,’ more than just to ‘make money in life.’ Students, who have a persisting spirit of ‘an entrepreneur’, a creative mind of ‘an innovator’ and a caring heart of ‘a missionary’! This course is for you! This is a very special course about ‘entrepreneurship, innovation, and social business.’ We are now living in a world with huge disparity gaps in wealth (1% vs. 99%), in technology, in health, in finance, in education, and in future opportunities. Such gaps exist between countries, between societies, between people groups, between the rich and the poor, between ones that have and the ones that have not. The questions go beyond just fair resource distribution, rather the accessibility to these resources for all people. In recent years, social entrepreneurs get recognized in the business world. Leveraging personal professional skills and business management experience, they create businesses with a mission to mitigate such disparities, to meet social needs, to make a change and impact in the world. Social entrepreneurs focus on social returns together with business profits for sustainability. As a result, a new form of business has emerged, ‘Social Business,’ which has a clearly stated social mission for its organizational purpose beyond profit seeking. Some of these social businesses even got successfully listed in major stock exchanges and at the same time they have fulfilled their social missions. Students who aspire to learn this exciting new business field will learn various business models related with social business, and entrepreneurship skills. Students may not all become social entrepreneurs some day, or engage in social business in future career, but we all definitely could be change makers in global societies. **Even this course is organized as a course in the Global MBA program, ‘all students’ are welcome, including international exchange students. If you could not register online, don’t give up! Please come to the first class to get approval and authorization code from Dr. Hsieh or you could correspond with him by email: dr.edhsieh@gmail.com This course will introduce the concept of social entrepreneurship and the toolkit for successful social entrepreneurs and the methodology to establish successful business model for social business. Students will learn how to work as teams and how to make contributions to team performance. Beyond classroom instruction, students will do case studies, will visit related organizations in Taipei, will create social business plans, and will put learning into practice, and make business plans work! College of Management Main Campus Students from all background are welcome to join this course, but must make a commitment to put efforts and focus in this course and most importantly must have a passion for the subject.

Corporate restructuring may be undertaken alone (e.g., eBay’s spinoff of PayPal, or Google’s organizational restructuring into Alphabet Holdings), or can lay the groundwork for follow-on M&A, leveraged buyout (LBO) (e.g., Dow Chemical merged with Du Pont). The strategic roles of the private equity fund and hedge fund become more important for facilitating either restructuring and M&A. To start a career in investment banking, consulting services, buyout specialists, you need to get familiar with domain knowledge and to keep abreast of contemporary global M&A and restructuring events. This pedagogical vision motivated this course. The purpose of this course is to teach relevant domain knowledge of the acquiring firms for pursuing synergistic or undervalued targets worldwide. Before or after M&A, asset restructuring can be a must to achieve strategic renewal and organizational reinvention for legitimacy and profitability. In addition, effective integration of merged firms and then restructuring non-core assets also contribute to the success of post-merger growth and operations. We are interested in the motives, planning, decision-making, valuation, and negotiation of such transnational equity transactions. Moreover, many developed-country firms have suffered lost market share or innovativeness abroad and domestically, which opens the strategic window of equity-linked restructuring modes with emerging-market counterparts. In addition, M&As have been used by global players to restructure and even strengthen their global deployments of resources, capabilities, talents. We are going to study several latest cases in achieving these strategic objectives e.g., Lenovo acquired Motorola from Google to strength its patent portfolio and brand equity in mobile devices in 2014, then to restructure its global supply chain in 2015. The types of global M&As include stock-based merge, cash-based acquisition, and LBO. Once completed, cross-border takeover deals need to get approval from the regulators of both home and host countries. In addition, the acquiring firm entails ownership rearrangement, asset revitalization, employee redeployment, organizational transformation, and resource integration. Those restructuring efforts are critical for enhancing economic, accounting, and social value. College of Management Main Campus As to the pedagogical approach, we are going to discuss core theories, best business practices, inspiring ideas, seamless implementation, and policy implications in class. Class participations and Teamwork involvements are expected, which accounts for most of your final grade. After completing this course, you should be confidently undertaking projects of global M&A and corporate restructuring. This is an inter-disciplinary course that lays its groundwork on entry-level courses in management, finance, and organization. Thus, basic knowledge in these subjects (or equivalent), though NOT regarded as pre-requisites, contribute to effective learning. You can expect to learn timely professional knowledge and experience in global M&A and corporate restructuring. The instructor commits to enhance your understandings of strategic thinking, decision-making framework, corporate valuation alternatives, and restructuring/integration action programs that are “working surely”.

“The screen is a window through which one sees a virtual world. The challenge is to make that world look real, act real, sound real, feel real.” Ivan Sutherland known as the father of computer graphic once said. Indeed, we live in a three-dimensional (3D) physical world, but only through the last two decades of 3D technology development, we are seeing a 3D virtual world through the screen, even more stunning, enchanting, captivating than the reality. We own this great progress to tremendous evolutional development of 3D computer graphics, fast and powerful processing chips, high definition displays, smart mobile devices and affordable VR headsets. It also opens up a strong demand of 3D creation contents for 3D applications. This course attempts to fill the apparent gap of 3D talents between the academic and the market place. What make this course unique? First, it is organized in four main parts that are integrated together as a wholistic learning experience: (A) 3D Foundation: Knowledge and Skill (follow text books 1 and 2) Topics: HTML5, 3D Graphics Basics, WebGL and Real-time 3D Rendering, 3D Graphics and Rendering in Three.js, 3D Creation Process, 3D Engines and Frameworks, Mobile 3D Applications, Virtual Reality (VR), WebVR, and Augmented Reality (AR). (B) 3D Creation: Demo and Practice (follow text book 3) Topics: Blender Basics and Interface, Character Creation, Design, Modeling, Unwrapping, Texturing, Shading, Skelton, Rigging, and Animation, Camera Tracking, Lighting, Compositing, and Integration into a Real Video. (C). 3D Applications: Case study and Presentation Topics: studies of pertinent cases in 3D applications will help student gain a broader and deeper understanding of how a 3D production is done and what are the factors that would contribute to its success? Or factors that cause its failure? For examples， Pokemon Go (AR): the fast rise and fall of users, why? 3D Movie, why is it not as popular as before? Ang Lee’s recent 3D movie “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,” with 4K resolution and 120 FPS as an example? Space exploration: NASA’s Curiosity roller on Mars. How 3D interactivity helps our learning? 3D fashion, how does 360 body scanning” work? What are the bottleneck for 3D fashion? VR headsets: the key success factor of VR: low cost? Or experience? Or content? Crowd funding for 3D projects: which is the right crowd funding platform? What are the essential elements of a funding proposal for a 3D project? (D). 3D Project: hand on practice and team work Topics: students will work as a team for a real-life 3D project with the in-class helps of professional 3D experts. The topics could cover all 3D applications beyond gaming, in education, in architectural and interior design, in heritage and archeology, in medical field and health, in industrial design and prototyping, in art and museum, in retails, in tourism, in AR and VR applications. Second, this course emphasizes free, open source, cross-platform tools for 3D creation with HTML5 and global 3D visualization standard, using the browser as platform. Third, this course is organized for information management (IM) students in mind, but it also welcomes non-IM or non-information technology majors to join. Its curriculum, case studies, homework, and projects are designed multi-tracked separately for technology and non-technology students. Fourth, students will benefit from instructor’s 3D business experience and also from half a dozen quest speakers from various 3D professional fields. They will be invited to talk on specific 3D topics, to help lead case studies, and to help advise 3D team projects. 3D virtual world is so big and wide, enough for everyone to find a place of personal interest with its endless possibility in reality. Just imagine in 3D! “Imagination is more important than knowledge!” -Albert Einstein Some 3D creations using tools to be introduced in this course are listed below for your pleasant viewing: 1. Wedding dresses: http://www.vrnet.com.tw/20180828wed3dpssp/ 2. A pet: http://www.vrnet.com.tw/web3d/bigdog_02.html 3. An antique bronze vase: http://www.vrnet.com.tw/web3d/bottle.html 4. A moving robotic arm: http://www.vrnet.com.tw/web3d/robot2web.html 5. A virtual city: http://www.vrnet.com.tw/web3d/city001_b4w01.html This course aims at introducing 3D creation in reality applications both in theory and in practice. Students will learn practical knowledge as well as useful skills; will also learn the process of 3D creation through actual cases, demonstrations and hands-on projects. College of Management Main Campus Even though this course targets students of information management background, students from other disciplines with non-information majors are also welcome. As 3D applications span a broad range, interdisciplinary talents are needed for 3D productions. This course welcome international students who would bring a global and diversified perspectives of 3D worldwide developments to the class. Knowledge of computer graphics, JavaScript, WebGL is helpful, but not necessarily required. Students need to show strong interests in 3D technology with a passion to learn and determinant will to do all the required works for this course.
