STIE to hold seminar

JAKARTA (JP): Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi (STIE) IBEK will
hold a two-day seminar on the fundamentals of Asian economies on
March 12 and 13 at Hotel Horison.

President of STIE IBEK Laurence A Manullang said yesterday the
seminar would feature a single speaker, Donald Wilson, former
president of Pittsburgh State University and current president of
Kilang Nusantara Pacific Consultants.

Donald Wilson said topics in the seminar, Asia, the awakening
giant of 21st century, would include an integrated leadership
system, the power of vision and culture as the major factor in
the world and the Western and Eastern management and leadership
style.

Wilson said Indonesia under the leadership of Soeharto had
seen much development improvement with the lowering of inflation
rates and poverty level, but that little had been invested in
development of human resources and education.

This was in contrast to Singapore and Malaysia, both of which
had invested large amounts in education and human resource
development. Indonesia had not yet allocated sufficient funds in
these areas. (09)
