4. Mini Report :
On 5th December 2020, Azman Hashim International Business School held an online program called Innovate Johor - Mtdc Ceo Talk 2019 at Dewan Sultan Ibrahim. This program was hosted by Dr. Mariani. She is a lecturer of Chemical Engineering at UTM Skudai, Manager of Bio-Product Development Institute Cosmetics and Fragrance and she is also the CEO of DerMags Skincare. Dr. Mariani is a persuasive individual and a risk taker when she develop and produce her own brand of skincare derived from a mangosteen. She has the willingness to work hard on everything she do. She has a PhD in Bio-Chemical Engineering in Dongguk University in South Korea. There were several main points for strategic practices in doing business that she mention throughout the program that would help students to sharpen their skills for a more successful business in the near future. Firstly, we must find the right partner that we genuinely trust. Trust is earned over time through a succession of good experiences. Besides that, we must always think about the future. It invites you to consider a diversity of perspectives and experiences. Finally, we must be an opportunist. It is the practice of taking advantage of opportunities as and when they arise.
5. Reflection :
This program is very interested and packed filled with meaningful knowledge that could help anyone to sharpen their skills or learn about the business world. This program is very recommended especially to students who take any business related courses and to anyone who is generally interested in doing business as Dr. Mariani shares her knowledge based on her wonderful, fascinating and thrilling experience from a student to a lecturer and finally a business owner. There are few lessons learnt throughout this program which we must always be determined in what ever we do and never gives up. In order to be successful, we must dare to create something and get out of our comfort zone. Finally, always keep on enhancing our knowledge and skills because there is always something new to learn in this wide world. During the question and answer session, I managed to answer Dr. Mariani's question and I received a chocolate candy bar as a reward. Wonderful moment.
