Five\nstudents from the University of Macau (UM) Faculty of Business Administration\n(FBA) presented their research thesis to more than 100 local industry executive\nleaders, educators, professionals and students, at Mastering Cotai, a seminar\nco-organised by the FBA\nand the Asia-Pacific Academy of Economics and Management (APAEM) of UM, and\nsponsored by Galaxy Entertainment Group. The theme of the seminar was \u2018bridging the gap between academia and\nMacao\u2019s hospitality and gaming industry<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>
The\ninaugural seminar aimed to provide greater insight and postgraduate scientific\nresearch related to some of the issues and challenges surrounding the\ndevelopment of the Cotai Strip and Macao as a tourism destination. It provides\nan opportunity for UM students and local industry executives to exchange ideas,\nand helps to bridge the gap between academic studies of integrated resorts and\npractical applications of those studies.<\/p>
The event was emceed\nby Andrew W Scott, CEO of O Media Ltd., and co-coordinated by Prof Glenn\nMcCartney, associate professor from the FBA and acting programme director of the\nAPAEM. Prof McCartney gave a presentation on the need for more strategic\nresearch not only to help address current challenges, but also to predict\npossible outcomes and scenarios for the Cotai Strip.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe five students who\npresented their research thesis were Ge Zhu Ying, Si Tou Chi Fai, Cheong Su\nMan, Aur\u00e9lie Simone Carr\u00e9, and Fong Wai Chio. The feedback was very supportive,\nwith a plan to develop the seminar in the future to maintain the link between\nstudent research and industry needs and concerns.<\/p>
