DB's International Club held a workshop last Thursday and Friday for all the international employees. On Thursday night, we all met at the Bahn Tower and saw a few presentations. Jingwen presented a skit and a presentation on business ethnics in China. Afterwards, we had a really nice dinner. It was a fun event since we got to meet lots of different people. There were about 50 participants. 6 out of the 7 MIT interns were able to make it. Sigrid and Sam also came.
On Friday, we went to the Nordbahnhof office and started on the real workshop. We saw another short presentation and then were broken up into groups for a case study. The title of the case study was Railion Goes to China. We basically had to assess whether or not Railion should do business in China. My group was one of the strategy groups. We had to come up with the best way for the company to enter the market and predict a timeline. We worked on this all day and gave a PowerPoint presentation on it at the end. They gave out prizes and my group got the first prize! We each got a DB toaster. Not only is it red and has the DB logo on it, it stamps the DB logo onto your toast. It's pretty cool but I have no idea how I'm going to bring it back. I would need to get a voltage converter to use it in the US.
It was a fun workshop. They fed us lots of food. The room was always filled with cookies, coffee, tea, fruit, and candy. Our lunch was paid for too. So it was nice.
