Programs initiated by the cooperation of the Graziadio School of Pepperdine University and the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute will help bring prosperity of business and trade in Nevada
By Tiffany Chang
On June 29, 2004, U.S. Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans wrapped up his eleven-day trip to China and Ireland with a visit to Mexico where he continued to stress the Bush Administration's commitment to grow American jobs through free and fair trade.
"In China, Evans stressed the importance of China¡¦s compliance with WTO obligations and called on senior Chinese government officials to eliminate trade barriers hindering U.S.-China trade relations. He was joined by Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao to participate in several of these events," the Press Release on its website by the Department of Commerce pointed out on June 28, 2004.*1
"Secretary Evans cited the many positive strides that were made during his visit in advancing China¡¦s economic engagement with the United States which included the announcement of a United States Patent and Trademark Office lawyer that will be stationed in the American embassy who speaks fluent Chinese and will focus full-time on advancing the U.S. intellectual property agenda in China. Evans also witnessed the signing of three U.S.-China business agreements in Beijing that will help grow American jobs."*2
"Throughout his visit to China, Evans called for China to significantly reduce government micromanagement of the economy and introduce a far higher level of transparency before it can achieve a full transition to a market-driven economy," the report continued.*3
Global competition is mounting. Because the huge increase in import penetration plus the massive amounts of overseas investment, firms of all sizes now face competitors from everywhere in this world. The trend of the increasing internationalization of business and enterprise is requiring managers and executives to have a global business perspective gained through experience, education, or both.
In the recent years, it is apparently that American managements want their top executives at company headquarters to have years of foreign experience, and they are sending young executives abroad to acquire that experience. "There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*4
Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.
Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.*5
The Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is promoting the cooperation and development of international trade, investment, and business. To contribute the Asian countries with the spirit of innovation and entrpreneurship, we need to emphasize our programs with our global e-business technology managemnt. We are surrounded by lots of e-business entreprises in this 21th Century era of businees world. An e-busineess entreprise is a business that uses the Internet, intranets, extranets, and other computer networks to support electronic business process, decision making, and team and workgroup collaboration within the enterprise and among its customers, suppliers, and other business partners.
Dr. Tony Lei was glad to know that Dr. Terry Young, a professor of economics, had been appointed by Pepperdine University as interim Associate Dean of Academic Programs for its Graziadio School of Business and Management. "We are fortunate to leaverage Dr. Young's international expertise to enhance and strengthen our MBA curriculum for a glabal economy," said Dr. Linda Livingstone, Dean of the Graziadio School.*6 Dr. Young served as director of the school's professional MBA and BSM programs for seven years prior to overseeing its global programs. She has an extensive background in finance, with consulting expertise in global soucing and business start-ups.
"Globalization and innovations in technology are changing the way we teach today's business leaders," said Dr. Terry Young.*7 "Just as economists must be equipped to forecast and regulate impending changes, so, too, must educators."
Here in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, one of our purposes for the future development is to strenghten our business prgrams with the emphasis of e-business technology management. We will encourage the management of information technology in our international e-business entreprises by three functions. We expect our e-business entriprises will make their managing information technologies effective by : (1)the joint development and implementation of e-business and Information Technology ( IT ) strategies by business and IT executives, (2)managing the research and implementation of new information technologies and the development of e-business applications, and (3)managing IT processes, professionals, and subunits within company's IT organization and Information System (IS) function.*8
Computer and technology are as natural as the air for the people in today's workplace which is teeming wih individuals who have terrific idea and a great deal to contribute. Las Vegas is a famous international city. Las Vegas has good international environment. The international environment is the internatctions between the domestic environmental forces and the foreign environmental forces. It is also the interactions between the foreign environmental forces of two countires when an affiliate in one country does business with customes in another.
The recent delegation of trade and investment to China led by Lt. Governor of Nevada Lorraine Hunt has launched a milestone for our cooperation and development of internatonal business ---business that involvesthe crossing of natinal boarders. People are interested in having programs cooperated by Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Mangement and WBTI that will enhance the multual cooperation in investment, trade, and global business among China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Nevada.

Seniors United Means Senior Power! --- A tribute to Lillian Wallace as the Editor of its "The Highlights Magazine"
By Valorie Vega, Cheryl Moss, and Tiffany Chang
If there were no Lillian Wallace, there would have no Seniors United, and especially there would have no "The Highlights Maganize" since 1966. The lady has vanished, but her spirit remains with us. This is the forth anniversary of its publication for the Volume III, Issue X on March 2000. In order to have our response to the creed of Seniors United --- for the people, it is a good thing to post some of the contends published by the Issue X as in the following: *1
Seniors United proudly presents
our newly elected
executive vice president
Dr. Tony Lei
Seniors United is greatly honored to have Dr. Tony Lei as our recently elected Executive Vice President.
Dr. Tony is not a medical doctor. He is a very noted professor and President of Washington Business and Technology Institute. He has a background of achievement as long or longer than your arm.
I am not going into any lengthy details about Dr. Tony's ability to reign as our Executive Vice President. The "Nevada Examiner" has done a fantastic job of telling us all about him and therefore I do not want to be repetitious. You can read all about the good doctor in the pages ahead.
Dr. Lei points out : Knowledge, calls ultimately, for a life of service. We should continue to work for the prosperity of our society more diligently.
Dr. Tony and his charming and lovely wife, Judy, have been friends of Seniors United for quite a few years. We love them both dearly because they are so very sincere and extremely devoted to the priniciples of Seniors United's creed.
We are looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship.
Congratulations to both of you. God Bless!
Lillian H. Wallace, President
Julian W. Wallace, CEO

Editor
On page 18, it carried the article of "From the editor's desk':
We had a most delightful forum on February 9, 2000, as always. We welcome......
We side-tracked our guest speakers for a few moments to introduce our newly elected Executive Vice President, Dr. Tony Lei, who really does not need any introduction at all. Tony and his delightful wife, Judy, have been members of S.U. for a few years. Both of them are on our executive board as advisory members.
But today was a bit different. Tony was being installed as our Executive Vice President by Judge Mark Denton, a very dear friend to all of us. Judge Mark always tries to make our forums even though it may only be to say "Hello" and off he has to go.
Dr. Tony Lei will be of the greatest force in getting the most important people to our doors. He knows about everyone of importance in Nevada and I am sure he will share all of them with us, particularly his Thai affiliations. Dr. Tony has had quite a few of his friends become our members and we thank them all.
We are very grateful to the "Nevada Examiner," an American Asian newspaper that prints all the news about Seniors United. This is a great benefit to us because we become very well-known in the American Asian and Thai communities. We have Dr. Tony to thank for this coverage that reaches over 20,000 people.
Dr. Lei sends his best regards to everyone and is looking forward to seeing all of you again as we all are.

Elected Student Body President, 1971-1972, she graduated with honors and a B. A. in Political Science from UNLV in 1972.

Shelley is a former Vice Chair of the Nevada University and Community College System Board of Regents. Appointed to the Board in 1990 by the Governor, she was then twice elected as a Regent by Las Vegas-area voters. She completed her second term on the Board in 1998. Throughout her tenure, Shelley worked to keep higher education in Nevada affordable and accessible to all qualified students.

Outstanding accomplishment of community involvement
By Cheryl Moss, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang
The campaign event and dinner party for Kenny Guinn to be the Governor of Nevada in 1998 was a big success with Dr. Tony Lei's invitation of 100 guests including business owners, community leaders, professional executives, educational administrators, and multimedia representatives. In order to advance the proclamation and creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), it has also launched and participated a series of event and dinner parties for a special tribute to the people who contribute to the peomotion of the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada. WBTI emphasizes the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit since its establishment in January 8, 1996. Feature articles had published by "Nevada Examiner", "Seniors United Highlights Maganzine", among others for many times to unite all the Asian American communities for the event and party to pay a special tribute to Harry Reid as U. S. Senator and Majority Whip of the Senate initiated by WBTI. In perspective, we need to follow the above two examples of the united forces of all our Asian Americans to win the recognition by the Mainstream of our efforts and wisdom for our community involvement in Nevada. Viewing the following record, it is encouraged that we all the Asian Americans did build our "Great Wall" in this Silver State for community involvement:

Programs initiated by the cooperation of the Graziadio School of Pepperdine University and the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of Washington Business and Technology Institute will help bring prosperity of business and trade in Nevada
By Tiffany Chang
On June 29, 2004, U.S. Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans wrapped up his eleven-day trip to China and Ireland with a visit to Mexico where he continued to stress the Bush Administration's commitment to grow American jobs through free and fair trade.
"In China, Evans stressed the importance of China¡¦s compliance with WTO obligations and called on senior Chinese government officials to eliminate trade barriers hindering U.S.-China trade relations. He was joined by Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao to participate in several of these events," the Press Release on its website by the Department of Commerce pointed out on June 28, 2004.*1
"Secretary Evans cited the many positive strides that were made during his visit in advancing China¡¦s economic engagement with the United States which included the announcement of a United States Patent and Trademark Office lawyer that will be stationed in the American embassy who speaks fluent Chinese and will focus full-time on advancing the U.S. intellectual property agenda in China. Evans also witnessed the signing of three U.S.-China business agreements in Beijing that will help grow American jobs."*2
"Throughout his visit to China, Evans called for China to significantly reduce government micromanagement of the economy and introduce a far higher level of transparency before it can achieve a full transition to a market-driven economy," the report continued.*3
Global competition is mounting. Because the huge increase in import penetration plus the massive amounts of overseas investment, firms of all sizes now face competitors from everywhere in this world. The trend of the increasing internationalization of business and enterprise is requiring managers and executives to have a global business perspective gained through experience, education, or both.
In the recent years, it is apparently that American managements want their top executives at company headquarters to have years of foreign experience, and they are sending young executives abroad to acquire that experience. "There is no longer any such thing as a purely national economy. The rest of the world is just too big to ignore, either as a market or as a competitor. If business schools do nothing other than to train their students to think internationally, they would have accomplished an important task," said John Young, CEO, Hewlett-Packard.*4
Innovation is the key to success, managers are looking everywhere in the global organization for new ideas. Modern companies would view Information technology (IT) as a major competitive differentiator. Strategic businesses emphazise the ueses of information technology for management. International companies develop their global IT platforms by integrating worldwide hardware, software, and Internet-based network architecture. Commuunication technology, for example the teleconferencing and computer networks, is making it possible for people from subsidiaries around the world to work together on project.
Many business are becoming global companies and moving toward transnational e-business strategies in which they integrate the global business activities of their subsidiaries and headquarters. The international dimemsions of managing global e-business technologies include dealing with cultural, political, and geoeconomic challenges posed by various countries for global marketplace. The e-business technologies are changing the distribution, relatonships, resources, and responsibilities of managers. Information Technology is helping managers of e-business to eliminate layers of amangement, enabling more collaborative forms of management, providing them with significant information technology resources, and confront them with major e-business and e-commerce challenge.*5
The Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is promoting the cooperation and development of international trade, investment, and business. To contribute the Asian countries with the spirit of innovation and entrpreneurship, we need to emphasize our programs with our global e-business technology managemnt. We are surrounded by lots of e-business entreprises in this 21th Century era of businees world. An e-busineess entreprise is a business that uses the Internet, intranets, extranets, and other computer networks to support electronic business process, decision making, and team and workgroup collaboration within the enterprise and among its customers, suppliers, and other business partners.
Dr. Tony Lei was glad to know that Dr. Terry Young, a professor of economics, had been appointed by Pepperdine University as interim Associate Dean of Academic Programs for its Graziadio School of Business and Management. "We are fortunate to leaverage Dr. Young's international expertise to enhance and strengthen our MBA curriculum for a glabal economy," said Dr. Linda Livingstone, Dean of the Graziadio School.*6 Dr. Young served as director of the school's professional MBA and BSM programs for seven years prior to overseeing its global programs. She has an extensive background in finance, with consulting expertise in global soucing and business start-ups.
"Globalization and innovations in technology are changing the way we teach today's business leaders," said Dr. Terry Young.*7 "Just as economists must be equipped to forecast and regulate impending changes, so, too, must educators."
Here in the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of WBTI, one of our purposes for the future development is to strenghten our business prgrams with the emphasis of e-business technology management. We will encourage the management of information technology in our international e-business entreprises by three functions. We expect our e-business entriprises will make their managing information technologies effective by : (1)the joint development and implementation of e-business and Information Technology ( IT ) strategies by business and IT executives, (2)managing the research and implementation of new information technologies and the development of e-business applications, and (3)managing IT processes, professionals, and subunits within company's IT organization and Information System (IS) function.*8
Computer and technology are as natural as the air for the people in today's workplace which is teeming wih individuals who have terrific idea and a great deal to contribute. Las Vegas is a famous international city. Las Vegas has good international environment. The international environment is the internatctions between the domestic environmental forces and the foreign environmental forces. It is also the interactions between the foreign environmental forces of two countires when an affiliate in one country does business with customes in another.
The recent delegation of trade and investment to China led by Lt. Governor of Nevada Lorraine Hunt has launched a milestone for our cooperation and development of internatonal business ---business that involvesthe crossing of natinal boarders. People are interested in having programs cooperated by Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Mangement and WBTI that will enhance the multual cooperation in investment, trade, and global business among China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Nevada.
