LIFE AFTER THUNDERBffiD

The World and Job Market According to Alien T. Mclnnes

ByNeflA-WeinbergWhile on campus for the Executive in

Residence program last week, E>r. Alien T. Mclnnes, Executive Vice President of Ten- neco Inc., conducted an interview with Das Tor from which the following was excerp­ ted:The world trading system seems to be in an uproar. How would you characterize the situation?

I think we're moving into an era in which one big change is the closer relationship developing between U5. business and government. The concern in this country nw Ss to Tnaire sure we're playing on level field, and that means coming up with a plan that makes sense to both us and our trading partners. If we can't, we can then say to them, "bey, here's what we can do to you."

Do you think it is now in the long-term in­ terest of the VS. to impose sanctions against our trading partners?

I don't think so. Certainly the U.S. has recently become much more active init^i»a^»ni|pggaiy{K)n^ jhp^^y^r th^*objec­ tive' B i«i(riv IfiJpUKuiien! out to get other countries to respond. I think that's happen­ ing.

To me, it's very important that while our currency is more favorable with regard to the EEC and Japan, it's no better with regard to Canada, South America and most of the developing world. Another pro­ blem is that while we're trading with the NICs on equal footing, the EEC and Japan haven't opened their markets to these countries. We're in a situation where we have to try to get everyone to participate in the free flow of goods. If it requires hit­ ting some people over the bead every now and then I guess we have to do that.

What do you think is the main weakness of American Trianagpmonf in international markets?

A general lack of knowledge about how to do things and appreciation of the subtleties of what needs to be done in other markets. The whole area of international studies here is very important because most Americans don't appreciate other cultures and some of the things needed to be suc­ cessful in particular parts of the world.

It's been said American management doesn't appreciate the skills people at Thunderbird are trying to develop. Is that so?

I tulnk when you go into a company with no international experience at all you can run into a situation like that Tbe problem is that for the most part, American business hasn't had to deal with the outside world very much. But that's changing rapidly, and I think that change will bring about a greater demand for the people being train­ ed here at Thunderbird.

What skills can people develop here that will be most appreciated and applicable in the international marketplace?

People should develop a high comfort level in dealing with the international maHrpfpiar* That basically involves the three prongs of the attack you've got here. Those are the things people come here looking for in a student.

What advice do you have for Thunderbirds in the job market?

Look for a company with growth op­ portunities on a broad basis, not just inter­ nationally one with a reputation for rKa|u»ngtng people and a very positive outlook. I wouldn't limit myself to saying I want an international job right off. If you're good, make your mark and have an international bent, I can assure you'll more than likely move into that area at some stage. .

The Executive SocialThe Executive Social, sponsored by the Career Services Support Committee, is a

not-to-be missed event Thursday, April 9 from 5:30 to 7:30. This is your opportunity to meet and mingle with Phoenix business executives and Thunderbird alumni from a variety of professional fields. Tbe informal "happy hour" is conducive to casual con­ versations about jobs and careers.

This semester, representatives from the following fields nave been invited: agribusiness, advertising, banking, consulting, entrepreneurship, government,

resoorocs, import/export, investing, management, marketing, and finance.These people are willing to meet the Thunderbird student body, share their ex­ periences, give their opinions, suggestions, and advice about job paths and career

On Monday, April 6, a list of the attending professionals will be posted in the Career Services Center. During the Executive Social itself, a bulletin board will display which professionals have arrived to assist those students that want to speak to specific businessmen or to professionals from specific fields or firms.

Plan on attending the Executive Social and keep the following "do's and don'ts" in mind:

DO be prepared to ask questions. Typical questions may include: What are the op­ portunities for growth in your field? What was the personal career path that led to your job? What are some of your daily on-tbe-job activities?

00 dress accordingly. Although the Executive Social is a relaxed and informal event, our executives wiM most likely be coming from work. Therefore, you wfll probably feel more comfortable dressed accordingly, and so will they.

DON'T monopolize the conversation. Unless the executive indicates otherwise, give other students an opportunity to ask questions. Be a good listener!

DONT bring your resume. The Executive Social is not a substitute for your formal job search. This is an informal situation and although it is possible to make contacts, bringing your resume would be inappropriate.

DO relax and have fun!

Marketing China from ThunderbirdBy Charles deTrenck

On Thursday March 19, a joint delega­ tion made up of McDonneU Douglas and Chinese aviation industry officials visited Thunderbird to work on details of a plann­ ed marketing project that would rotate their Chinese engineers through our school.

If the project takes off, it could mean close to 100 McDonnell Douglas China employees studying on the Thunderbird campus.

The venture itself was set up in 1965 bet­ ween McDonnell and state-owned Shanghai Aviation Industrial Corp. with a price tag of one billion dollars and an ob­ jective to manufacture some parts of the mid-range MD-82 aircraft. Most of the sophisticated machinery is produced in the States and the planes are then assemM«f at the venture's Shanghai plant. In June of this year, though, the venture will set a landmark with the first plane certification by the FAA in China. Their current agree­ ment extends to 1991, and if the venture continues to be successful, it will possibly become a mover in developing China's air transportation network.

McDonnell's China Marketing Manager, Peter D. Chang. a Tbird himself, spoke

with DAS TOR at length about the challenge of the joint venture. Some of the points brought up were restrictions on technology transfer and the MD^Z's future market potential in China and abroad. His genera) outlook, to put it mildly, was ex­ tremely bullish. When asked about die re­ cent political turmoil in leader without a portfolio Deng Xiao Ping's government, andhowit might affect U.S. business with China, Mr. Chang emphasized that these setbacks won't affect China's move to modernize. Put another way, he pointed out that Shanghai movers and shakers en­ joy their new Mercedes and probably wouldn't want to trade them in.

Tbe planned marketing project at Thunderbird is also part of McDonnell's commitment to the joint venture. Initially, a group sf 10 15 Chinese aigineers wou»a begin here this November for a two month stint The project, if all goes well, could then grow to accommodate about 100 par­ ticipants over a year. The engineers would then be sent to the Mcdonnell Long Beach plant to finish their overall training.

As an aside, it will be interesting to find aut the results of this project, as well as to see bow Thunderbird will meet the needs of a project with such specific needs.

Tbirds Join the State DepartmentFour Thunderbird students have been

selected to join the US. State Depart­ ment's Near Eastern and South Asian Bureau's Summer Internship program. The prospective interns include John Vogel (Nepal), Ken Strange (Oman), Eileen Herrera (Jordan), and Nefl Kester (Algeria). These interns will be perform­

ing the work of junior foreign service of­ ficers during the 10 week, 40 hour per week internship. Depending upon the needs of the office, interns will be involved with the daily commercial, n^mpte and opera­ tional functions as well as the long range projects. The internships begin in early June and are completed in August

Internship with Coors Bike ClassicThe Coors International Bicycle Classic:

A three-week cycling extravaganza involv­ ing world-class athletes, attended by a half-million spectators and media from around the world. Last year's event was won by five-time Tour de Prance winner Bernard Hinault. The 1987 race begins for the first time in Hawaii, then travels through California and Nevada before reaching the mountains of Colorado.

What does this have to do with you? Management The organization of an event of this magnitude requires year-round planning and coordination. With a $1.8 million budget, the race's full-time staff is supplemented by over 300 people who work in key areas such as media, transporta­ tion, meals and accommodations, com­ munications, marshalling, construction, and race development.

As a December, 1986 graduate of Thunderbird, I recently began working for the race in several capacities. My current position as Marketing and Development Coordinator involves race promotion and management of sponsorship contracts. As the race draws closer. I will also be putting together a crew of 80 staff marshals and

coordinating the 500 volunteers who will supplement the marshal crew during the course of the event. Tbe marshal crew takes care of the security of all those in­ volved with the race, as well as the hordes of spectators at each stage.

Thisyear, the race is offering several in­ ternship positions to graduate students. A Transportation Coordinator is needed to arrange tor vehicles and air transport for the entire race entourage (over 500 staff, racers, and team support personnel). A similar position is available in the bousing area, nnaifeing accommodations in each of the 15 cities through which the race will travel. A Facilities Manager will coor­ dinate the acquisition and set-up of the physical plant and administrate the con­ struction crew. Tbe Sponsor/VIP Liaison will link the race organization with the dozens of corporate and dry VTPs who at­ tend the race. Other positions with the race are possible for interns through coordina­ tion with the race office.

If you are interested in this opportunity to bone your management skills with an t»rritmg^ vorid-class event, please contact Katfaryn Vegso at Career Services, exten­ sion 7755.

Students Desperate for Resources Appreciating the CSCTo the Editor:

President Vans' reluctance to install a seontty device in the library is understan­ dable to light at the fact that the cost of purchase and installation would probably exceed the value of the entire library col­ lection in print. Unless you take into con­ sideration the historic value of the 40-year- old antiques still taking 19 shelf space IB the prime research facility of what Is sup­ posed to be a world renowned educational Institution whose self-proclaimed goal is "toprovide a... pragmatically relevant... degree program ... (and) knowledgeable leadership..."

Theft, a crime and deplorable in all situations, is spawned from either greed or desperation. Since greed is an insatiable desire for something already obtained or available, and since relatively little cur­ rent, relevant material is obtainable or available in the library, that leaves only desperation as the motive for stealing library materials.

This thievery can be reduced by a device such as the one President Voris decided

not to install, but it can also be alleviated by satisfying the desperate need for precise, up to date materials. The most ob­ vious need is for bask statistical informa­ tion published and updated regularly by U.N. and country agencies. In the face of rapid change in international relations and economics even the old standby 1984 Business International 5 year forecasts are pot into question. Another need is for more data directly from foreign countries. I realize that It is difficult to avoid an American bias when based in the United States but Tbunderfoird needs to provide the information essential to developing truly transnational managers without cultural or national predilections.

We as students are grateful for the col­ lection of knowledgeable sources that helped establish Thunderbird 40 years ago and hope for the sake of the schools' reputation and our own education that in the future regular and timely library ac­ quisitions will be made.

Sincerely, Larry Blomquist

On Being PositiveTo the Editor:

I am writing to congratulate you and your letter writers for becoming positive again,

The majority of the people who live in the United States are American by chance, but many of as are in this country by

If you have good education credentials, ^ M b»»tot.«a mpc rience. a solid research and publication record and a rich academic and teaching background, almost any country in the world would be more man willing to offer you residency

Years ago, when I deckled to leave my country, I selected the United States as my country of choice. I had several reasons for this derision, such as the power of

prevails in this country, tbe honesty and fairness of the majority of Americans, and the country's tendency for hard work and

Fortunately, in most instances, these reasons have proven to be true. However, recently I have been disturbed by the negative attitude which has been presented in DAS TOR. It has seemed to me that tbe sense of fairness and pride which is the necessary essence for success

and progress has been replaced by a sense of fault-finding and negative thinking, and that justice, appreciation and objectivity have given way to injustice, misunderstan­ ding and subjectivity.

I was, however, pleased to read your last (March 23rd) issue which contained several positive and logical letters and statements. Congratulations! This is more becoming of a graduate school. It seems that we are on the right track again.

Members of tbe Thunderbird communi­ ty (student, faculty and staff) share tbe ideal of making the Planet Earth a better Global Village. Thunderbird not only pro­ vides toe education that one needs for ac­ tualizing this ideal, but, instead, it is our laboratory for experiencing world citizen­ ship and for testing our abilities to be ap­ preciative, serving, positive and fan- members of the world community.

Let us all work together as one force and make Tbunderbird an institution that we shall all be proud of; an example of peace, cooperation and bard work and a center whose ambassadors are at work around the globe to prove that the Thunderbird mystique is not just a claim on paper, but, indeed, a reality in action.

Dr.TahirihForoughi

Network NewsAn integral part of the "Thunderbtrd

mystique" as I see it is the network system. It's important to note that it only works if you tse it correctly. I decided to try to use tbe network in Seattle this last January, and wrote several Third grads to ask them for informational interviews.

Network] News I

Then, I called them to set up appoint­ ments. Most of them were extremely helpful and cooperative they were usually flattered that I thought they could help me. I had prepared a list of questions to ask them, including those about their career paths, their evaluation of my background, and their ideas of companies

and people to contact. As a result of these informational interviews, I found out about job openings that weren't published and was referred to many other contacts and companies. (It always helped to be able to say that "Mr. V.P. of X Bank sug­ gested that I...")

For me, this network has been extreme­ ly useful, but I have some suggestions on bow to use it

1. Write first tell them why you want to talk to them.

2. Don't ask them for a job an informa­ tional interview will get you farther

3. Be prepared with questions.4. Know what you want.5. Follow up on their leads!!6. Send them thank you letters.

A great way of getting jobs now and in the future is through "leads''who become mentors. Therefore, choose some of the most useful "leads" and write them up­ dates on yourself and your career every three months or so. Then, if they near of something useful or you need help later, they're available and they will remember you.

Mavis Lee

To the Editor :1 would lice to express my appreciation

to tbe staff of the Career Services Center for the assistance given me during my time at Thunderbird. I have beard many students complain about Career Services lately, but I fed they deserve more credit than they have been given.

I came to Thunderbird with virtually no work experience. I knew I had to work hard to find a job, therefore I began very early and spent numerous hours writing

letters to prospective employers. I i ed informative workshops and met with helpful graduate assistants, both of which answered questions that I had and gave me pertinent suggestions.

I did not expect Tbunderbird or Career Services to get me a job. It was my efforts combined with their services that has helped make my search productive.

VIEWPOINT

opinion 3

By Michael Marhoefer Mark, your guilt-ridden appeasement of

the micawberish myrmidons here on cam­ pus Is completely indefensible. Lest yon forget, toe inherent duty of a free press isto responsibly inform an otherwise gullible public.

Individuals who fear retaliation on ac­ count of their just grievances not only have the right, but also the obligation to remain anonymous. What would normally be an unreadable humdrum weekly has been spiced up recently by this spate of deUrious name withholders. Most of our readers are anxiously panting for the next release, so instead you've decided to scotch the entire policy.

Even though "1984" was ere three years, you've already thrown to the towel to the totalitarian Weltanschauung. Remember that 1987 Is the bicentennial of the nation's Constitution, so please do not pay homage to a small vociferous minority that pledges to flamenco upon that glorious document.

Thunderbird Feature:

It has been one of those weekends. For mod of us a weekend begins on Thursday. This weekend began with my desire to catch up on everything. I had no sooner walked into my apartment when my room­ mate told me she had received a job offer from the company we had both interview­ ed with. Checking the initial impulse to throttle her, I congratulated her and said how happy I was for her, hoping one of us was going to believe me. It didn't help that she was off to the airport for her ump­ teenth flyback. I began to wonder if the anaohmpiqn for AGSIM graduates, Single Unemployed No Kids (SUNK) was ap­ plicable to me.

Determined to overcome, I began to work on my amended tax return. Confus­ ed, I called the IBS. The gentleman was helpful and explained to me that I needed to write a check to the IRS for the dif­ ference between my first estimated refund of $600, and the correct refund of $513.1 pointed out that I am a starving student who didn't have $87 and was desperately awaiting my refund, besides I had already overpaid my taxes by $513.1 was told that was beside the point and that unless I sent in the check I would be assessed a penalty. With this, be pointed out be wasn't in the position to judge the situation and hung up. Only then I noticed the fine print stating that it would take two to three months to process the amended return.

Not to worry. I am being educated to deal with just such situations. Tax return in band I beaded to my local financial in­ stitution and asked to see the manager. I explained I wanted to discount a three month note receivable from the Federal Government, showed him my neatly learn­ ed calculations and added that I would ac-

really going to be this serious, why don't you publish Das Tor in the Kim II Sung style? We could show our cohorts a weekly Potemkin village paper and then have translators available to intrepret the meaning of your joumalistk swill.

Regrettably I couldn't care less about hurting the feelings of the irresponsible spendthrifts and their myriad boondoggle projects. Listen, somebody has got to teU it like it is.

So as you deprive us of our overdue por­ tion of "juicy tidbits" et al. let's try to serve as the vehicle for complaints that we're supposed to be, rather than having the dumpster detectives staple-gunning their findings on the roost convenient bulletin board a la Martin Luther.

In the words of Peter Maas. writing for the January 29, 1986 edition of the New York Times, "Whistle-blowers are not your ordinary citizens. In fact, even though it's the right thing to do, they have got to be a little crazy, because a lot of bad things happen to them afterward."

Name Withheld by Request Professor X is an overpaid, lazy drank!

Name Withheld by RequestThe first statement may be true, the se­

cond unsubstantiated rumour, the third a malicioas lie. But if seen in print in DAS TOR, all are given equal credibility and all imply some degree of truth.

DAS TOR has maintained a policy of printing letters and withholding the author's name upon request. This policy is designed to allow persons with justifiable complaints to air their concerns without the fear of reprisal or adverse reaction. Recently, students and alumni have taken advantage of this policy to the extent that their constant complaints have given the paper as a whole, an image of dissection and negativity.

No longer a forum for constructive criticism, the Letters to the Editor page

has become a snowplact for libekws at­ tacks, unfounded innuendo and "juicy tid­ bits." Michael, your incessant driveJ pro­ pounding anonymous letters as "freedom of the press' is at the expense of jour­ nalistic responsibility. Yon should know better.

DAS TOR has die doty to inform the public of the news around Thonderbird; both good news and bad news. But we must convey the news in a manner that presents the facts without malice. Our editorial/opi­ nion policy must be equally responsible. While some persons fed that DAS TOR should be little more than an administra­ tion press release or a campus bulletin board, fewer would agree with you that it should be an uncensored voice of hate and discontent

Persons with something to say can sign their names to their letters. Anonymous whiners can start finding their own tidbits in the dumpster. Legitimate whistle Mowers can always approach DAS TOR in confidence and suggest that we investigate their story.

It Has Been One of Those Weekendscent a six month discount. Between the laughter and the question who put me up to this I realized there is more than just a fine line between academia and the real world.

Arriving borne I saw my long distance phone bill that had finally caught up with me. $200. I gasped and sat down, this wasn't my day. Unable to deal with reality 1 reached for my only source of evil gossip, the Wall Street Journal. Dynasty is tame compared to this stuff. There on Page One was a feature about bow taking a steam bath not only purges toxins from your body, but also relaxes your mind. The arti­ cle recommended a bottle of seltzer water when done. Armed with the latest knowledge on how to deal with stress I rac­ ed over to Seven Eleven and beaded right over to the wine section. Seltzer water is for normal stress, I was dealing with suicide.

I have always prided myself on being creative and I discovered that putting a towel at the foot of the door would allow my bathroom to steam up. It took about fif­ teen minutes for the bathroom to get really misty. Feeling more tranquil, (which I at­ tribute to the half bottle of wine) I stepped under the jets just as they turned cold. I sobered almost instantly, but not before my wine glass was projected across the floor.

Once dressed, I came to the conclusion that the only remedy for my situation was a night out on the town. Out I went. 1 was determined to find a hot spot. Find it I did. The music was Waring, the strobe was blinding and in opposite corners stood two of the prettiest things I had every seen. I left fifteen minutes later, having been re­ jected twice I decided to go grocery shopp­ ing. I spent my glamorous evening

debating whether to splurge on a box of Oreos, or a gallon of Dryer's Ice Cream.

When I got home, I decided that 1 must face my new-found poverty. I was destined to be a street person. It isn't so bad, I con­ soled myself, one just pretends they are camping. I grabbed my pillow and blanket and beaded for the chaise lounge, at pootside. Realizing that the mind is a delicate thing and these adjustments must be made slowly I went back and got my cordless phone, portable TV'and the rest of the wine.

I awoke at the crack of dawn, tired bat proud. I had only called bone twice, col­ lect. It wasn't antfl I went to wash my car that afternoon that I saw the Wg dent in the side of my car. Toe cliche that bad luck comes in threes in wrong. It comes in fours.

of the Thunderbird team, will represent England on the Commonwealth team.

The games are only fifteen minutes long in a 7-a-side rugby, seven minutes each half and a one minute halftime. The com­ petition will begin at 8:20 a.m. and con­ tinue throughout the day with games every twenty minutes. The semi-finals will be at 4:30 and 5:00 pjn., followed by the Con­ solation Championship at 5:30. The Cham­ pionship will be played at 6:00 p.m. The Phoenix Old Boys won last year's tourna­ ment by defeating Kachina in the finals. Thunderbird expects to avenge that loss on Saturday by bringing the Tournament Championship Ball back to the Pub for a permanent home.

Bratwurst, beer and soda will be sold beginning at 11:00 a.m. Tournament T- shirts will also be available. All spectators

will receive a tournament program to follow the action, and there will be a com­ mand center to provide information and record the results of the games.

The post tournament party will beheld in the TAG and all students are invited. The Texas Oub and the Rugby Qub are co- sponsoring the party, which wUl im- mediateiy follow the Championship game and win continue past midnight. $2.00 will buy students all the beer they can drink and the music of Trace of Gold. The band will play 50's and 60's dance/boogie tunes from 8:00 'til 12:00. If you can still dance after a hard day of playing or spectating, come out to the TAG on Saturday. If you can't make it to the party, come out for the tournament.

Good Rugby! Cold Beer! Lots of Fun! Lots of Sun! See you there!
