Beer Game Challenge: Mobile-Enabled Supply Chain Insights
From 14:00 to 15:00, Dr. Chang Chao-Ching, Director of the Southeast Asian Regional Management Master’s Program, facilitated a “Beer Game” simulation. This classic supply chain management exercise, conducted via Wi-Fi and real-time mobile interaction, allowed participants to experience the “bullwhip effect” of decision-making firsthand. Thai faculty engaged deeply with the dynamic data analysis, gaining practical insights into inventory control challenges.
AI-Enhanced Business Simulations: Top-BOSS Demo
The highlight was a session by Arthur Hsiao, General Manager of Top-BOSS International, who showcased an “AIGC-Integrated Business Simulation” model. Using the Top-BOSS platform, he demonstrated how generative AI can rapidly create market scenarios and adjust strategic parameters in real time. Walailak delegates raised keen questions, particularly on AI applications for MBS (การจำลองธุรกิจมาโคร), including instant DuPont chart generation and presentation tools.
Closing Dialogue: Pathways for Future Collaboration
Post-16:00, both institutions explored potential partnerships, including faculty exchanges and joint research initiatives. The visit not only strengthened Taiwan-Thailand academic bonds but also provided an actionable framework for AI-driven educational innovation.
This visit marks a milestone in blending traditional academia with cutting-edge technology for global classrooms.
