  The contrast in the opening visuals, (modern big city architecture, bright lights and high tech everywhere) with the traditional flute music playing is powerful. It is the real story or metaphor of the video. While the economic growth in China is staggering, the majority of the population does not live in a bustling metropolis. Must Chinese still live in a rural setting far removed from the images of the video. The flute music drives this point home. It is the most endearing and part of the whole video and it is made on an instrument carved from bamboo. This is China,striving for modernity while being grounded in thousands of years of heritage.

  I feel so privileged to be coming on this trip. My parents never would have had this opportunity. What an amazing time to be young. Our ancestors, for the most part, lived in silos of culture and perspective. China was a place that existed mostly in their imaginations. Now we are on our way there to establish relationships and perspectives that we will most likely utilize throughout our careers. Amazing. Again, I feel so privileged to live in the globalization era. My goal is to turn this experience into skills, knowledge and experience that future employers will value highly. Seriously, I will be thrilled if my future employer is excited about my insight into China’s role in the global economy and asks me to put that insight to use to improve the business’ performance. My expectation of Professor Carr is that he will provide me/us with opportunities to develop those competencies.

  China is a manufacturing power house, and can do so on the cheap. It will be interesting to see how they are able to do this and how it differs from manufacturing here in the United States. The video showed what could be good examples of the large scale production plants that are all over China. However, I hope we get a chance to experience some cities/town/facilities that aren’t as modern to help develop a true idea and appreciation for how most of the Chinese population works.

  This clip was able to capture the highlights of previous trips to China and provide an overview of what upcoming trips to China may be like. What this 3 minute video was only able to hint at however is the breadth of the China that we will be exposed to. With such a large country full of history and the relatively recent emergence of that country on the world scale, there are many ways to see this behemoth. I have been to China once before for a short 9 day trip and was exposed to some of the landmarks of the cultural history of this nation: places such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Being that it was an architectural field trip our group was also able to see the Olympic facilities (the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube), the Temple of Heaven, the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing, and even visit the Shanghai office of the global architecture giant, Gensler. These visits were very beneficial to me in that I was able to see part of a different country that has always seemed so far away and inaccessible. What I am expecting from this trip in June is to see China from a business perspective. I am very excited for the company visits we will be conducting and to see how China is able to dominate the world market of manufacturing. It is daunting to me to realize how many items I use come from one country and yet I know so little about that country. I am also interested to see how my travel experiences in recent years, previously to China and also to Europe, have changed me in terms of international travel and how different it will be this time in the land of China.

  I thought it was nice of whoever put the clip together to do so. The clip gave me the impression that I would embarking on a trip where we get to see very western and touristy aspects of China. It seems like these students saw the wealthy, western, and business side of China. What they did see of “China” was kitschy. Like the Great Wall and the markets.

  This doesn’t seem very appealing to me. I would be more interested in seeing how the majority of people live there. I’d also be interested in seeing the countryside. The video clip didn’t really show any pollution or normal dwellings. I hope that I will be able to explore the aspects of China that I’m interested in when we aren’t doing class work.

  My expectations for the professor is to show me a well-rounded view of China because business isn’t influenced strictly by business. To understand the root of the business boom in China is to understand the people. I expect myself to put enough effort in the course to learn the material well enough to receive an A. But beyond that, I would like to learn about the human aspects of China.

  Very interesting looking over the shoulder of 2009’s group—thank you for making this available—I think we’re all curious what China will be like. It seems like even what should be familiar is seemingly subject to reinterpretation in China.

  I was particularly intrigued by the footage of Best Buy employees participating in a company spirit chant…I know that Cold Stone Creamery employees sing if you tip and most Farmer Market’s in San Luis Obispo you can hear the McClintock’s crew sound off while preparing your rib order, but company singing is hardly a widely-held tradition in America… and I can’t help half-wishing that it were. Can you imagine how interesting it would be?! Walking into your neighborhood Costco or Home Depot would be pretty awesome (WalMart’s would probably be something like the “B-n-L” theme song in WALL-E: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76NqXff4Ub0).

  P.S. During the Subway clip (1:33), I don’t think an outline of a television etched on a window to watch employees prepping sandwiches is what is traditionally meant by “TV LIVE.”

  Watching this video clip made me excited for our China experience. I got a good sense of of the mix of culture, factories, and touristy experiences our trip will entail. I think and hope that the experience will be well-balanced. Both the upbeat music and the diversity of visuals including images of the city, the factories, performing arts, the Great Wall, and the markets have increased my anticipation for this trip.

  I feel lucky that China is a requirement for the completion of our MBA program. China is one of those places on earth that I would love to see, but probably wouldn’t take the initiative to go see on my own without a little push. I feel that it is very relevant to today’s society, and that moving past general knowledge and stereotypes is crucial to being a well-educated individual. These are all reasons I am taking this course.

  I hope to have a positive and fun experience while also obtaining a solid foundation to how business operates in China. I feel that this foundation has the potential to give me an edge in my future business endeavors. I expect Professor Carr to facilitate this for us by providing our class with additional guidance on where we should go after hours and what is worth seeing since he is an frequent traveller to China. Although the actual course activities will provide great learning opportunities, I think that how I use my time after hours will help to make or break my experience. I expect myself to use my time wisely and try and dig deeper into the Chinese culture. Although the touristy things are fascinating and necessary to see on my first trip to China, I hope that I will be able to view some of the everyday issues the Chinese people face to develop a better understanding of this side rising power.

  It looks like the trip will be filled with non-stop activities. Additionally, it looks like everyone enjoyed themselves and weren’t afraid to go out of their comfort zone – eating fried scorpions and rapping in the bus. I have never been to China, and would like to see how it would feel like to be in one of their markets. What I hope to get out of this trip other than site seeing the many attractions that China has to offer is to actually see China’s development and correlate what I will have read from the three books – Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China, China: Fragile Superpower – How China’s Internal Politics Could Derail its Peaceful Rise, and The Post-American World – prior to making the trip. As far as my expectations from Dr. Carr, I would expect him to be a tour guide/ advisor in getting to certain places, but as I noticed in the video, I did not once see him. It was mainly the student doing all the action. Since it will be my first time to China, I expect my first trip to be very memorable. I hope to have a good time going on the company tours as well as touring the surrounding areas. I intend to give this trip my full effort in making it a great experience for not only myself but also my classmates.

• 9. Matt Streiter  |  December 17th, 2010 at 5:07 pm

  The video provides the opportunity for currents students to see what to expect on the trip to China. The various places featured display the mix of business and culture that the MBA’s get to experience while touring China. As someone who has never been there, it is interesting to see the similarities of their large developed cities, such as Shanghai, in comparison to ours in the United States. In this trip I hope to see how a country with emerging wealth handles their new circumstance domestically and how the Chinese citizens interpret the actions of their government. Additionally I want to observe how China factories have been able to produce products more efficiently at a lower cost than other wealthy industrialized countries outside of just cheap labor.

  I expect that our professor will show us how business between China and the United States is conducted and give us the opportunity to hear from the Chinese their perception of Americans and their expectations in doing business with the United States. I hope to gain an idea of what to expect of China in the near future and how that will play a role in globalization. While in China I will put in the effort to achieve the most informative experience and to be able to adequately apply what we have learned throughout this course to what we observe.

  I really enjoyed the video and the material that was shot. I think that the point of view of the filming gave me some insight of what to expect on the trip. My biggest delight of the video was seeing the chef make noodles by hand, as I am very excited for the cuisine. I am going on this trip to learn more about China and business as required by my program, but my main goal is to keep an open mind and learn as much culturally as possible. I expect to give this trip my all, and would expect the same from the other students and faculty on this trip.
  There are two points I was not a fan of in this video. The first is while the material shot was very positive and real-life, I would have liked to see the flip-side of the coin. It would have been nice to see what some of the slums and poor conditions of factory workers look like, not just the sterile and fluorescent-lit ones shown here. My second issue was that the music choice wasn’t very original. The music of almost every video about China has either a flute or qin. I understand the contrast of old and new, but it would have been nice to see music that is more representative of this fast-moving culture I have read about.

• 11. Sarah Weinzapfel  |  December 20th, 2010 at 10:27 am

  The more I know about China, the more excited I am for our trip. I thought having access to this video was helpful and insightful. Although it is short, it gives various glimpses of what we will get to see and experience on our trip.

  I think we are lucky that our program gives us the opportunity to go to a place like China. Not only is China somewhere I would like to visit, I think it is an important place to visit. However, China probably would not be the first place I would travel to on my own. I am very excited and grateful for this opportunity.

  It is important to see how business operates in China, the cultural differences, and to interact with a different culture. It is valuable to have the experience of being immersed into another culture and I am determined to put in all of the effort it takes to get the most out of this opportunity. I also hope to see the other sides of China that we have all read and learned about. I would like to come back from our trip with a better understanding of China as a whole, not just the rich, business side of China. I hope there will be some sort a facilitation in pointing us towards resources so that we are able to gain a better understanding of the multiple aspects of China during our off hours.

• 12. Tara Millard  |  December 22nd, 2010 at 6:26 pm

  I am thrilled about this experience and the contrasts that are present in China. Coming from an architectural background, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to see the intermixing of traditional Chinese architecture and modern day skyscrapers. Having never left the country, this is going to be a shocking and necessary element of growth in both my education and my life in general. This course is unlike anything I have ever experienced and its results will be life changing for me. I hope to gain a fresh perspective on the world at large. I expect that Chris Carr will treat us with respect on this venture and guide us through this foreign land. I hope that he will give ample guidance on specific aspects of Chinese culture that are not apparent to a new tourist in China. I intend to treat this course and much more than a college course. I have no intention of treating this as a class per se, but rather a once in a lifetime opportunity. I will in no way focus on grades during this adventure as that would reduce this trip to a superficial experience. Rather, I will treat this as a chance of a lifetime that I will pour my heart and soul into.

• 13. Will Moeller  |  December 28th, 2010 at 9:53 am

  Overall, it appears that the trip is what you make it. If you want learn and explore, the opportunity is there.

  The first thing that stuck out in the video is the architecture contrast in the cities. Some of the buildings appear very traditional - what you might expect from Chinese architecture. These buildings are juxtaposed with the new-aged skyscrapers that would fit in any modern city. This seems to suggest that China is proud of its history, but it is also becoming cosmopolitan.

  The factories are more pristine than I had expected. Factories are well-lit. Workers appear efficient and enthusiastic. The factory environment described by Mr. Casey in Postcards from Tomorrow Square sounds dreary and disheartening. The video portrays the opposite.

  There will also be plenty of opportunity to experience culture. I have 6 months to make the idea of eating a scorpion sound more palatable.

  I expect to make the most of each experience such that I have no regrets about the trip. I will be traveling to a new place full of novel opportunities. I intend to make the most of that. I expect that the professor gives an unbiased view of what we will experience to let us form our own conclusions about what we’re experiencing.

• 14. Katie Moeller  |  December 29th, 2010 at 8:41 am

  The part I liked the most about this video is how it showcases all of the experiences we will have on our trip to China. We will be able to visit businesses, stroll the streets, and have fun too. I think it will be a well-rounded trip for us to learn and experience China both professionally and personally.

  I am excited about the trip to China because I do not think it would be a country I would necessarily visit on my own. I am happy that I will be able to do it as part of the M.B.A program. My expectations of Chris Carr are to expose us to China – the good, the bad, and the reality. The expectation I have for myself is to be open-minded. I want to learn why China is able produce products so cheap and quick. I have some sense of negativity towards China with the US losing business to them. However, on this trip I want to take the time to understand why this is the case and to learn how we can possibly adopt some of China’s production methods.

• 15. Jessica Shayler  |  December 29th, 2010 at 12:55 pm

  Pollution. Crowds. Eating bugs. Where do I sign up? No, I do not expect to enjoy our time in China. However, I do expect to gain valuable insights, build meaningful relationships, and come away with a more global perspective. I am not very good at staying abreast of current events - just ask my husband: try as I might, no “news” is new to him… I am grateful for this trip and the pre-assignments because it forces me to take time to learn things I already want to know, especially about the economic relationship between America and China (I found the first two assigned books very enlightening on this topic). I expect to work hard not for a grade, but because there is so much to know and I want to remember it all. As Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power,” you never know when or where you might need to flex your informational pecs. I expect the professor to provide opportunities to build our knowledge and to forge trust in each other and in him. This masters program has already been a much richer experience than my undergrad years. I expect no less from our China experience.

• 16. David Hart  |  January 2nd, 2011 at 8:15 pm

  I have been excited to enroll in this course since I first heard that the MBA program has an international business tour. My family visited China a couple of years ago, but I was unable to go with them. Although I have visited 11 foreign countries, I have never been to Asia.

  This video provides a nice overview of some of the types of experiences we can expect. It looks like the trip will be a fascinating experience! I think the video gives us an idea of some of the types of experiences we may have while in China. I am looking forward to learning more about the culture, the people, and the business aspects of China. China’s influence on the world from a business and cultural standpoint continues to grow. I expect to immerse myself through the next few months in learning about the cultural and business aspects of China.

  The course is very well organized and I look forward to seeing all of the blog posts. I expect that the Professor will help us learn and understand both the cultural aspects as well as how business operates in China.

  This is an incredible opportunity to not only visit China, but to also learn about it through the blogs and readings. I plan on focusing on absorbing as much information as I can so that I can have a better understanding of China. I have high expectations of my own effort. There is so much to learn! I expect this course and trip will give me a good foundation in my understanding of this fascinating country.

• 17. Brady Haug  |  January 3rd, 2011 at 8:08 pm

  As an undergraduate student, I was an Industrial Technology major and a Packaging minor. It is a major that focuses heavily on manufacturing and supply chain management. Outsourcing is a massive undertaking in a supply chain and is an area of business that I am especially interested in. The factory tours in China are the portion of the trip that I am looking most forward too and this video provided me with a glimpse of just that. Sealed Air, the company which was toured, appears to be an innovative packaging company and the video portrays a meat packaging operation. I am looking forward to gaining insight into Chinese innovation and culture in their manufacturing environment.

  A friend of mine, Matt Eves, was actually on this trip and I was able to see him in this video. I am hoping to meet up with him soon to further discuss his experiences in China. This video also shows the tourism portion of the trip. I have never been to China and am increasing growing more anxious about seeing the sights. The people, architecture, and cuisine are things that are completely foreign to me. This trip will be both an exceptional opportunity for learning and personal growth.

• 18. Tim Easton  |  January 5th, 2011 at 6:26 pm

  After watching this video clip I became even more excited about traveling to China this summer. The video provided insight into the activities that took place on the trip last year, and what current MBA students can expect to experience. I am really looking forward to experiencing China on my own, during our “free time”, but am equally excited for the opportunity to tour factories and learn about business in China.

  When I found out that an International Study Tour to China was a required class for the Track 1 MBA program at Cal Poly, my decision to attend Cal Poly was instantly cemented. I hope this trip opens my eyes to business practices in China and the importance of China as a partner in the future. I also hope to learn about Chinese culture through our non-business related activities, as well as our “free time”. I expect our professor to have the meetings set up and the trip organized as planned. I also expect everyone to be treated with respect if they are following the rules in the syllabus. The International Study Tour is a great opportunity and I expect myself to be respectful of the group as well as Chinese culture. There is nothing worse than having one person ruin an entire trip for everyone, and I hope that this does not happen on our trip. This trip is what you make it, and I expect to go into everything with an open mind to get the most out of this once in a lifetime experience.

• 19. Kristine Spencer  |  January 9th, 2011 at 2:04 pm

  This short video makes the trip to China seem like more of a reality and excites me for my future travels to such a relevant country that I have never been to before. The video depicted the sights, scenery, and fun the students are having on the trip, which makes me assume that I will have a great time on the trip with my fellow travelers as well. I am very happy that I will get the opportunity to travel for professional reasons and in a safe and controlled environment. I hope that this trip will broaden my horizons, both personally and professionally, and spark my desire to travel more extensively throughout Asia.

  I think of China as being extremely foreign and different than the central coast of California, where I was born and have lived my entire life. The clip gave me the impression that I will be experiencing things that are totally different than I have ever experienced. I enjoy traveling, and trying and seeing new things, but I think that I may be in for somewhat of a culture shock. The technology, large cities in the video that we will be traveling to, and extreme mix of old and new that are shown are aspects that I am looking forward to experiencing.

  I am taking this course in order to complete the one year MBA program. The option of taking this class seems much more relevant and fun than other possible options. I hope that this class will give me a better understanding of how to handle doing business in Asia or with Asian business people. My expectations of our professor are to prepare us for all of our travels, business meetings, itinerary, and manage the expectations for the trip. My biggest expectation is that our trip will be well organized and safe for all of the students, including safe hotels and travel methods. My personal expectations are that I complete enough personal research so that I can feel in control, safe, and knowledgeable of the places that we will be going, on top of the required readings and assignment for the class. My personal traveling expectations and concerns will require me to put in extensive effort before and during the trip, which will lead me to have a more fun and safe trip.

• 20. Chris Fung  |  January 10th, 2011 at 12:36 pm

  After watching this video on the previous MBA China trip, I am excited at the upcoming opportunity to finally see the “Motherland” of my ancestors. I agree with Robbin Forsyth in that the majority of the Chinese population do not live in the bustling metropolis’ created by modern Chinese growth. However, it is the metropolis’ and the industrial/financial activities that go on within them that is driving the current state of China’s rise on the world state. Having grown up with the stories and pictures of my grandparents and the experiences of my parents traveling to China in the early 1980’s, I have second hand knowledge of what China was like 30+ years ago and how much has changed in the years since then. Having hearing though my other classes how China is the powerhouse for world manufacturing, I am excited to have the opportunity to see this first hand.

  My expectation for Professor Carr is to provide the class with the opportunity to see a glimpse of what is driving the modern rise of China. My expectation for myself is to enter China with an open mind and learn, see, experience all that I can about Chinese business and industry and its importance on the world stage. On a personal level, I am curious to see the blending of the culture in Chinese society; the New and Old China, and the differences/similarities between the American and Chinese people. No doubt there will be much work and planning involved in this trip to China but anything meaningful would require nothing less.

• 21. Jason Jay Sharma  |  January 11th, 2011 at 2:17 am

  Even though we’ve spent plenty of time preparing ourselves for our trip to China, I felt a slight disconnect on what we will actually experience while we are there. Watching the video has helped me to visualize some of what we can expect to encounter during our visit for both the professional and tourist experiences from a former student’s point of view–this is exactly what I had hoped for. It’s both exciting and relieving.

  In all honesty, I am not looking forward to visiting China. The crowds, pollution, and heat during our trip far outweigh any experience I anticipate having. I hope I will have a different stance about our trip after we return.

  I’m taking this course because China plays one of the largest roles in business today, and I want to be able to see that first-hand. While I don’t I want to move to China anytime soon, I do think a two-week educational trip will be beneficial for any student hoping to be successful in some form of business or another.

  I plan to make the most of our time in China and demonstrate my maximum effort. Not all MBA programs offer such a unique experience, and I refuse to squander this opportunity. As our instructor, I hope you can guide us through China’s business world based on your experiences. I hope you can have a teacher-student relationship with us as we prepare, but a collegue-collegue relationship during our actual trip. Overall, I look forward to the China experience.

• 22. Ashley Ogden  |  January 11th, 2011 at 10:18 am

  This video is a great way to get students excited about the China trip. It did a good job of capturing a lot of different aspects of the trip from sightseeing, to factory tours, dining experiences, and bus rides.
  I am taking this course as a way to experience a culture that I may otherwise not be able to. This is a great opportunity that I must take advantage of while I can. I understand that China is a big influence in the world today and I am excited that I get to experience their culture firsthand.
  It is possible that I may never go back to China after this trip, so I intend on getting the maximum amount out of this trip. I want to experience as much as I can in order to understand the Chinese people and culture. I am interested in seeing things from their point of view and learning as much as I can. I am very excited to do some of the “touristy” things as well.
  I expect that Professor Carr has lined up a great itinerary for the group and has put us in a position where we can gain a lot out of this trip, if we put the effort in.

• 23. Kyle Rowland  |  January 11th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

  Watching the video makes me exited about having the opportunity to embark on this trip for school. I’ve had so many classes throughout my education that were strictly theoretical based and had nothing to do with my everyday life. I expect this class to be a great combination of studying and real world application. Throughout the year, we will have the opportunity to examine the Chinese history, culture, business practices and policy. After we depart to China, we will then have the chance to see firsthand what has been studied.

  From this course and instructor, I expect to walk away with a fundamental understanding of what China is today and how it got to be that way. I understand that to have this high expectation, I must follow through and do my part. I’m hoping that this exposure to China will make me more valuable for my future career. I believe that having the opportunity to travel with an experienced professor and ambitious students is a privilege that I plan to make the most of.

• 24. Tyler Sereno  |  January 18th, 2011 at 3:16 pm

  This video segment does a good job of showing us a brief overview of what we will experience on the China trip. Different aspects of the Chinese culture that are new to us are portrayed in the clip. It made me more excited to go on the trip because as I watched it, I realized how different China is from the United States and that this was a great opportunity for us.

  I am taking this course because of the opportunity it presents. A lot of business is done in China, and this would be a great way to learn about the Chinese business culture. I hope to achieve a grasp on the way China does business from this course. I would like to learn exactly how the United States and China do business and how both benefit. My expectation of Professor Carr is that he is our leader on the trip and points us in the right direction to learn the most from the trip. Also, when there are people to meet, Professor Carr should introduce us and start us off on a good note. To maximize my experience and learning on this trip, I intend to work hard and put forth my best effort. I will take each segment of the trip seriously and I am excited for the opportunity.

• 25. Ben Raymond  |  January 25th, 2011 at 4:32 pm

  China has always intrigued me because of the vast differences between rural and urban China. The opening video gives glimpses of those differences. The big cities are booming with business which is a much different picture than the rice fields and small villages of rural China. It was exciting to see previous students exploring the Chinese business world. The economic boom in China is evidence that they are doing many things right and this trip is a great opportunity to explore their businesses and culture.

  I hope to get an inside look at how business works in China and how we can learn to promote beneficial business relationships. I expect that the professor gives valuable exposure to Chinese business and allows us to form our own conclusions about our experience. I will to go into this trip with enthusiasm towards exploring a new world to me and look for ways of getting the most out of this opportunity .

• 26. JP Salazar  |  February 24th, 2011 at 8:44 pm

  This video really begins to get me excited about going on this trip. It has always been a dream of mine to visit China and this program is delivering the perfect opportunity for me. I have always been intrigued by the rich culture and history of China and it will be amazing to see the contrast between this rich history and a nation that is struggling to find its identity in a modern world. I really enjoyed the opening to this video with the contrasting images of the highly developed skyline and traditional music. It really helped bring to light this struggle that i can only imagine exists.

  Overall, I am hoping to get a glimpse of the richness and depth of the culture in China. I have always enjoyed trying to understand how other people live and what they hold important and I think that this trip will do just that. Unfortunately, we will only be able to scratch the surface of what it really means to live in China or be Chinese, but it will be more than i could ever hope to learn from here at home. This trip will be the greatest example of Cal Poly’s learn by doing philosophy and hopefully my favorite experience with it.

• 27. J Vail  |  March 14th, 2011 at 12:59 pm

  This clip, even though it seems a bit like a highlight reel, has me excited for the diversity of locations and culture that we will get to experience on this trip. I think that taking this course is a great asset as a business major in that we can take our own learning environment from class and be immersed in a radically different culture with our friends and peers. Business majors in our generation as well as those to follow we need to understand China from experience, not just perceptions handed down from others.

  I expect that from both teachers and students there is an informal level of respect towards both parties and that we can enjoy our time in China as well as learn from it. I think that this will be the case, and I will be sure that my own personal conduct will be beneficial to myself as well as the group in learning about and experiencing this country.

• 28. Omar Pradhan  |  March 18th, 2011 at 12:20 pm

  Brief thoughts and impressions are that our upcoming trip will be a great opportunity to see how life and business are expressed in China. As for what I hope to get from this course, I hope to grow my awareness of the culture and explore for myself what it means to do business with / in China. Given this glimpse into a past trip, I recognize how important to it will be for me to invest in my pre-trip assignments.
