The First Philippine Business Education Summit

Yesterday afternoon (September 17, 2007), there was a meeting of the "Business-Education-Industyr Linkage" which is organizing the "First Philippine Business Education Industry Summit" slated on Dec. 06, 2007 at the AIM Conference Center.

The Theme of the said summit is "Developing the Global Filipino".

The summit "aims to bring together to a bigger universe of representatives from business, industry, government and the academe to set priorities for convergence." It will address future global trends in human resource development (and hopefully in other aspects too...) , strategic directions and initiatives towards developing the global Filipino.
About 200-300 participants are expected to grace the event.

The CMIP aims to be a part of this as the first step the Business-Education-Industry linkage took was to collectively formulate new policies, standards and guidelines for Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. (These are now embodied in CHED Memorandum Order #39 Series of 2006 which was approved by the CHED Commission en Banc last June 2006 and launched last May 2007.

The meeting was chaired by Dr. Conrado Inigo, the Charter President of the Philippine Council of Deans & Educators in Business. Dr. Inigo is also the VP-External of CMIP.
