GSBPA of WBTI's slogan for business and tourism
---To become more effective online communication in every online venue!
By GSBPA of WBTI*1
*****["Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
--- Proverbs 16 : 3
"He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend." --- Proverbs 22 : 11 of the Bible
"All hard work brings a profit." --- Proverbs 14 : 23 of the Bible
"The reward for work done is the opportunity to do more." --- Jonas Salk, M.D.]

On June 11, 2004, Nevada officials opened the first U.S. tourism office in China, hoping to boost the number of foreign visitors to the Silver State. Lorraine Hunt, Lt. Gov. of Nevada, led a delegation of state tourism and hotel representatives to China to celebrate the opening.
"The state hopes to attract five million Chinese tourists a year," said Bruce Bommarito, executive director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism,
He believes that China is the greatest potential market force in the world. "It's mind-boggling. The Chinese tourist is the highest-spending tourist in the world," said Bruce Bommarito.*2
Nevada is the only state in the country to obtain the required certification by the China National Tourism Administration to operate an office.
"Nevada is a popular destination for Chinese tourists. Officials there say over 90% of the 250,000 people who travel to the United States from China stop in Nevada, primarily Las Vegas."*3
Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.
In many ways, business school is at the center of this cultural phenomenon. For some, the business school is the passport to the boardroom, the ticket to the top of the corporate ladder. these schools, nationally and internationally, pump out the new generation of business leaders by hundreds of thousands. "They are the pipeline of raw material with which the nation's --- and the world's --- leading business build the future. And MBAs are not limited to the traditional corporate world: From Wall Street to Madison Avenue, from Sand Hill Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, today's MBAs lead organizations large and small, in every conceivable industry. They are the executives and entrepreneurs who power the economy."4
"UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE, you've seen enormous changes in communications technology over the past two decades. From orbiting satellites routing long distance phone calls to email to undreamed-of growth of the Internet, the age of communicating online, using computers and networks, is upon us all," stated at the first paragraphy of the 'Introduction' of the book, "How to say it online: everything you need to know to master the new language of cyberspac," written by Kim Baker and Sunny Baker.*5
"And what could be better news? To keep in touch, there's nothing faster or cheaper than email. To gain access to information and people, the power of online communication expands your reach from the local to the global. To meet new friends and even romance a potential life partner, online venues provide rich opportunities (if you know the right things to say and the best way to say them). At school, the Internet places volumes of knowledge on ever subject at your fingertips, and at work, computer networks make business communication more efficient than ever." *6
Whether you are in business or in non-profit organization, you need to have a Web site. This seems to be a common wisdom in now- a-days. Think seriously about the needs of your market before you go onto the Web to make more money for business, to develop better non-profit organization, or to contribute to more community service. "It's hard to believe that Fred's Service Station really needs a Web Site to reap new profits. However, for some businesses and professional service firms, the Internet and web to gether offer viable marketing and distribution opportunities. Software companies, online magazines, and email order businesses can do quite well from the Web --- if the owners know how to say the right things on their sites. The Secrets of a Successful Web Site: Just having a site on the Web will do almost nothing to sell your products or services. To promote your Web site, there are three things you must do: (1). You must register your Web site with the best search engines. (2). You should consider using the many free and not free advertising opportunities on the Web. (3) You should search the Web regularly for competitive and related sites, where you can attach a link to your site."*7 To be more successful for your Web site, you need to be favored by the famous search engine services like Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com), Aol! (www.aol.com), Google! (www.google.com), Infoseek! (www.infoseek.com), among others.
"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.*8
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.

In order to keep the online universe a productive, safe, communicative environment, it is interesting and worth to post the ten commandments for computer ethics. They were created by the Computer Ethics Institute: (1). Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people. (2). Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work. (3). Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files. (4). Thou shalt not use a computer to steal. (5). Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness. (6). Thou shalt not use or copy softwear for which you have not paid. (7). Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization. (8). Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output. (9). Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write. (10). Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect.
A sucessful businessperson always know the old rule that says "It's easier to keep an existing customer than to find a new one." In online customer relationships, this rule is just as important. Your goal should not only to get new visitors, but to cultivate your customer base to yield repeat sales, services, and referrals from satisfied purchasers, clients, and patronagers. "Besides a good product or service, there are only three things you need for successful online customer relations: strong communication, common courtesy, and exemplary customer service. Unfortunately, these old-fashioned values are often missing in many companies' online promotional communication." *10
To serve the community with wisdom and effort is one of the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). The following is a post of the news in Chinese about the coming trip of U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao to China:

U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.
At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*13
Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.
Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *14
"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with “sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."
According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.
As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.
The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as “oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.
"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*15
Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *16
"The mission of this School [Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)] will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management. Through academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this School for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA.*17 Nina Titus was born May 23, 1950 in Thomasville, Georgia. She graduated from College of William and Mary with A.B.. She received her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from University of Georgia and Florida State University, respectively. She is a Senator and Minority Floor Leader of Nevada Senate. Dina is also a professor of Political Science in UNLV.

Las Vegas nicer with community service through cultural arts and performance
By Stewart Bell, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang
The City of Las Vegas and Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas(TCAA-LV) presented Thai Performing Arts Appreciation Day 2002 at Charleston Heights Arts Center on September 17, 2002.*1 It was co-sponsored by Mr. Jheri Psmyth - Kids for a Better Society; Dr. Tony Lei - President, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Mr. Tim Wong - CEO, Arcata Associates; Mr . Raymond Lam - Vice President, Chinese American Citizen Alliance of Las Vegas; among others. Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas (TCAA-LV) on the occassion of the 9th anniversary saluted three awardees with Awards from U. S. Senator Harry Reid and U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley: Dr. and Mrs. Tony Lei, Mr. Tim Wong, and Mr. Raymond Lam.
The Association saluted also four awards from TCAA-LV: Ms Joanne Lentino, Ms. Jeanne H. Johnson, Mr Tim Wong, and Ms. Jennifer Schember.
During the Performing Arts Appreciation Day 2002, Dr. Tony Lei was very pleased to welcome so many government officials, community leaders, business owners, among others. High-ranking government officials who participated the Event and Dinner Party included: Lorraine Hunt, Kathy Augustine, Erin Kenny, Bill Maupin, Stewart Bell, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Jennifer Elliotts, Valorie Adair, Dianne Steel, Lisa Brown, Anthony Del Vecchio, Cheryl Moss, Natalie Tyrrell, Mike Davison, David Roger, David Wall, Bobby Gronauer, Herb Brown, Bill Young, among others. In his welcome speech, Dr. Lei believes that all of us share a sense of cooperation for the supporting of cultural richness. He pointed out that "this is a significant milestone of the contribution for the mutual cooperation of cultural and social service between American and Asian communities." *2
Lt. Governor Hunt was introduced by Dr. Tony Lei to the public to deliver her greeting speech to all the audiences and participants. The enthusianstic participants were overwhelming including important officers, leaders, and media executives: Brian Sandoval, John Hunt, Nancy Wong, Tim Wong, Nancy Diaz, Kathie Ambrosio, Judy Ray, Gerry Schroder, Francis Allen, Mike Malone, Geny Del Rosario, Teresa Woo, Richard Dennison, Mike Vaswani, Patty Blakeman, Aldo Aguirre, Auroea Maskall, Raymond Lam, Jessica Hwang, among others.*3
Full with enthusianstic attendants in the Hall of the Arts Center, all of them enjoyed a big night out with many elected officials, appointed officers, business executives, and communiry leaders through the atmosphere of elegant and classic dance and music from Thailand.
TCAA-LV's Outstanding Performers Awards were Pannee Connolly, Robert Ashton, Nina Singchai, Kemika Sriprom, and Shirley Kaeratana.
WBTI has supported Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas (TCAALV) already more than ten years for its annual Thai Performaning Arts - Appreciation Day.*4 It is a vivid example for its proclamation and creed which are for the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit. "He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling him. My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another," said the Bible.*5
The following is another example of what we would like to do for related and concerned associations in performance and publicity:
"Dear Tony, Thank you very much for your support of the Singapore Association of Nevada (a non-profit organization) during our launch year of 2003. It is with your support and encouragement that SAN has become a highly respected organization within the State of Nevada and the Republic of Singapore. When I founded SAN in 2003 it was with my strong passion and belief in the Republic of Singapore and the opportunity it provides for Singaporeans and can also provide for Nevadans (including businesses based in Nevada)... Kindest Regards," wrote Jonathan Galaviz, President of Singapore Association of Nevada.*6
Dr. Tony Lei has innovated and encouraged good idea for program and event to improve the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada. United we stand, not just for our Asian Community only but for all our people and nation as a whole. Asian Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that the Asian communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society.
"As the Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), I've shared a pleasant leadership with Dr. Tony Lei cooperated by all the Faculty members of this Institution since it's establishment on January 18, 2000. Innovated in integreting his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's effort and wisdom for the community service in Nevada in the recent eight years have been very valuable. We expect Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute in September 28, 2001 will contribute to improve the quality of life of the people and the prosperity of this State of Nevada," said Dr. William Thompson, UNLV Professor of Public Administration, at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club on January 28, 2002 in Las Vegas. The dinner party was held by Washington Buisness and Technology Institute (WBTI)*7
