AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 20, 2003 - Outfitted with state-of-the-art Tablet PCs from Motion Computing, a team of McCombs Business School - University of Texas MBA students will collaborate with MBA counterparts at Shanghai Jiaotong University to gain some of the 21st Century's most valuable skills: how to develop and manage complex business and professional relationships with the emerging opportunities in the People's Republic of China.
The Tablet PCs will be used to rapidly collect, process and communicate information in conjunction with the students' field studies of China's information technology and telecommunications industries.
"The power and versatility of Tablet PCs will give students from both universities the benefits of full-function computing while on the go in China's major centers of commerce or in outlying villages," said Dr. Larry Leibrock, associate dean of technology at UT's Red McCombs School of Business Administration. "We were particularly impressed by the design of Motion's Tablet PC, which has the largest display with the least weight. This is an ideal opportunity to rigorously field-test the Tablet PC as an advanced information technology platform in a mobile environment."
The study tour will include 10 projects including market planning of Tablet PCs, investment in early-stage software startups, managing research and development staffs, and marketing of Internet equipment in China. Upon their return, students will present their field work to corporate executives.
