VAN HESSEN-PHILIPS-CAPGEMINI-KLM-INGDear readers,

Monday 27th September

Our monday morning started off not quite

like any other monday morning does. We were

picked up by bus and driven to van Hessen, the

sausage casings factory. Johan Domela

introduced us to the company, very interesting!We

got the opportunity to look around the workers

place and to try to select the best intestines..not

an easy job we can tell!

In the afternoon it was time for out visit to

Philips. The students prepared a case, which was

sent by KK Ho, the vice-president and CFO of

Philips. The case was focused on the R&D in

China. The result had to be presented to a couple

of members of the board. Critical questions were

fired to our students, but they managed very well.

It was a very interesting and educative visit.

Tuesday 28th SeptemberThe early bird catches the taxi to Capgemini.

That’s were we started out Tuesday journey.

Capgemini told us about their CSR and how they

are contributing to the social, economical and

environmental society.

In the afternoon the group was split in two.

One group went to KLM and was welcomed by

Remco Althuis, Regional Manager Shanghai &

Central Asia. Remco Althuis told us all the ins and

outs of the airline industry and the way it works in

China, it is full of surprises! The is intriguing to see

and hear to different rules and regulations and

how different industries work.

The other group went to ING. Piter de Jong,

also Nyenrodiaan, shared his experiences in

China, the banking sector and as a Nyenrodian in

Shanghai. The financial studens launched some

sharp questions towards Piter de Jong, which he

could only appreciate.

In the evening some students went to a KTV,

a Chinese Karaoke bar, which is very popular. We

sang like we never did before!

Tomorrow we are leaving Shanghai for two

days. We are going to Naked Retreats, a resort in

the Bamboo forest up in the mountains. We have

been asked to look at a marketing problem they

have been experiencing lately.

More to come soon!
