Fujitsu Opens Global Leadership Management Scholarships for Indonesia

Jakarta, 29 December 2009 — Fujitsu open enrolments of the 2010 Japan-America Institute of Management Science (JAIMS) global leadership management scholarship for Indonesian people.

Achmad S. Sofwan, Chief Operating Officer of Fujitsu Indonesia, said through this scholarship, Fujitsu aims to provide opportunities for all communities in Asia Pacific and to develop leadership capabilities through learning management styles in different culture and understanding global business.

“Until now, there have been 370 business professionals –including from Indonesia- who had earned the Fujitsu scholarship. The scholarship is open in 18 Asia Pacific countries,” Achmad added. “This scholarship is Fujitsu’s contribution to the region, and as an opportunity to develop leadership for business practitioners in Indonesia.”

This year, Fujitsu provides scholarships for a new program in JAIMS: the East-West Leaders Program (EWKLP) which aims to prepare a new generation of business leaders.

Fujitsu will open the registration for application until March 19, 2010, followed by interview in April 2010 and selection of participants in May 2010.

The EWKLP JAIMS Fall Term 2010 will run from October 11, 2010 until January 6, 2011 in Hawaii, U.S. and Tokyo, Japan. EWKLP program combines best practices from east and west with an intensive learning format.

After the lecture in Hawaii, participants will be invited to Japan to participate in various activities related to cultural, visit to Fujitsu and the awarding event.

Angeline Melissa Simanullang, JAIMS EWKLP Spring 2009 alumni, told that all courses were taught by professors who are experts in their fields from east and west scientific traditions.

“This program has given me the in-depth knowledge of global business through the very compact yet practical courses. There were additional special topics, which interestingly gave different perspective of business from non-business related point of view,” she said.

Angeline won the Student’s Choice Award in JAIMS-EWKLP and today is Art Director at MAC909.

Cross-cultural atmosphere, she recalled, were intense in this program as it was attended by students from nine different countries each with their own cultural and professional backgrounds, living and working together.

“As a whole the JAIMS EWKLP experience has brought young people from different countries together, creating a world community, the bond that will hopefully last forever. Through this enriching program, we gained global business knowledge and cross-culture understanding. I believe these are very powerful asset to have for everyone going to succeed in this global world,” Angeline added.

Jessica Schwarze, JAIMS-EWKLP 2005 alumni, told the classes were heavily focused on real case business scenarios that until today are highly applicable to her daily job.

“The lessons I learned during the four months intensive program in Hawaii as well as in Tokyo proved to be priceless. Through this scholarship, I have had the opportunity to engage with people from various cultures and learn the real issues of today’s global business world,” she said. Jessica currently is Head of Marketing at SAP Indonesia.
