By the TUBC Organizing Committee
The Thammasat Undergraduate Business Challenge event of 2007 marks its first decade of success. Business undergraduates from sixteen prestigious and highly competent business schools responded to our invitation, proudly joining the case competition. Through this event, young business scholars exchanged profound ideas on a real-life business scenario, broadening their perceptions. This incredible four-day event at the Dusit Thani Hotel truly imprinted an unforgettable experience for this international community. Yet, behind this extravagant and professional setting lies a precise schedule outlining each activity followed by the duties each staff member had to take charge, hour after hour…no gaps, no breaks. The organizing committee of TUBC has devoted a great deal of their time into fulfilling this task. Each and every member held numerous responsibilities long before the case competition; from seeking sponsors to scheduling to rehearsing performances to servicing food to decorating boards to resolving technical complications to enforcing regulations…each detail mattered.

The obligations were overwhelming ninety percent of the time, some obligations could mean “skipping my own meal,” some could mean “no sleep,” some could mean “I’m clueless” but none could mean, “I pass.” In this committee, negligence meant failure. If you’re up for the job, you are motivated, you are responsible, you are on time, and you are going to be tired. But at this point, we’re ineffably proud of our accomplishment.
So you’d ask the staff members: “Will you do it again?” And after a phenomenally tiring four days, we’d still say “for sure” without an ounce of hesitation. |
