22. To achieve this aspiration the MBA program
should be conducted by
ASEAN based (Pra)cademics who have first hand business
experience.
Thus the focus will be on experience rather than the traditional
Approaches to local MBA (business) programs.
23. This program will be the proprietary property of three founding partners Hat Yai
University, and UNISEL. Other ASEAN universities can join the consortium as partner
institutions. Universities from outside the ASEAN region can join as associates.
Any degrees and certificates will be issued in the name and under the authority of the
three founding universities (plus the relevant partners).
24. In terms of pricing, the MBA in ASEAN studies should be at a
premium to other regional courses.
In addition to the standard MBA, a host of other study tours of the
region and short courses should be offered to supplement the core
program.

Notas del editor
This is all immensely important for curriculum development.
Most MBA programs are constructed with a general business focus or specialize within a particular branch of business. Many MBA courses try to incorporate entrepreneurship within the very restrictive traditional MBA structure. Many MBA programs which focus upon Asian (and particularly ASEAN) business are too remote from the region, thus take an arm-chair approach rather than being immersed within the subject. Consequently most courses on Asian business tend to provide an abstract occidental approach and miss conveying to cohorts, the ‘hands on’ aspects of ‘doing business’ in the region that is truly required, so ASEAN business can be really understood.
Many existing MBA courses conducted in local ASEAN universities have taken a ‘cut and paste’ approach rather than attempting to cover the region and relevent issues holistically and experientially.
With the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) there is a need to have a premier post graduate course available to:
Employees of ASEAN corporations who are operating throughout the AEC region, or want to make the AEC its market,
SME managers and entrepreneurs who wish to take advantage of the AEC, and
Foreign corporate managers and commercial diplomats who want to get a first hand understanding of the business environment within the ASEAN region.
Demand from European, US, and Australian students for ASEAN business education within the region.
European students looking at street businesses in Bangkok.
Much of the curriculum will be delivered through experiential learning, market and factory visits, and other exposure to real enterprises from micro-sme level right up to corporate organizations.
Subject content like legal and regulatory issues will be delivered through seminars where both government officials and practitioners will deliver their ideas and opinions to the cohort in an interactive way.
These seminars will be run in each ASEAN country so cohorts acquire direct exposure to the people who are operating the regulatory systems.

A (Prac)ademic is a teacher who has a wealth of practical experience in ASEAN business in preference to academic experience. Where accreditation restricts, pracademics can be blended into the course through a seminar approach to formal class time, utilizing team teaching.
Introduction
Leadership, communication and negotiation skills are imperative to staff and students in communicating their ideas to various interested stakeholders in issues and areas they are involved in. A person with sound technical knowledge is less likely to be effective within and organization without leadership, communication and negotiation skills. Likewise, a new entrepreneur’s best asset in an enterprise start up is his or her ability to demonstrate to stakeholders, confidence, knowledge, passion and good judgment. Similarly negotiation and sales skills are two important and often neglected skills in entrepreneurship education.
Concept
Leadership, communication and negotiation abilities and skills can be taught and learnt. One of the most effective methods of teaching these abilities and skills is through experiential learning.
Experiential learning involves practical teaching, outside a formal lecture where staff and students will be challenged to express themselves within a supportive and structured learning environment.
One effective method of experiential learning in the leadership, communication and negotiation area is through structured simulation of everyday issues requiring these skills within a supportive group and structured environment. Learning becomes even more effective, when visual and audio feedback of the scenarios they have been placed in can be replayed back to them with guidance from instructors.
The role of the laboratory would be to provide those facilities so that KUKUM staff and students can further enhance these required skills.
Objectives of the Laboratory
to install self confidence in individuals in confronting group situations,
to enhance presentation, negotiation, selling and communication skills,
to develop particular skills in transmitting concepts, ideas and other information to particular interest groups,
to highlight and demonstrate the influence of leadership in groups,
to highlight and demonstrate group effectiveness, and
To simulate real world situations where the manager or entrepreneur has to face to move his or her case forward with interested stakeholders, i.e., managers, committees, Govt. agencies, grant committees, banks, customers, suppliers, etc.
Structure and Layout of the Laboratory
The laboratory complex could be located within the KIK Building on the first floor. There already exist 3 classrooms which could easily be converted to the laboratory layout (see layout scheme attached).
The laboratory could be developed by adding partitioning to create a number of negotiation and meeting rooms, which would be wired by CCTV, taking multiple scans from various angles and microphones.
A central meeting room between the offices would be utilized for briefings and debriefings.
This is a massive growth market.
