Marketing Day - 8 April 2011

Creative and Daring,,no wonder they are the winner of booth competition
 Very successful event! It was very unexpected event that we had organised for this semester. For the first time ever, we managed to organise a Marketing Day of UiTM Johor. We also managed to conduct few events like treasure hunt, seminar/ talk by a guest speaker from public listed company, booth competition and advertisement competition.
Very unexpected no. of crowd and responses received for this event
The Marketing Day event were participated by 22 groups of diploma students that enrolled for MKT243 (Fundamentals of Marketing). Each of the group has to do selling (variety types of product) and set up their own booth. The judges had choosen the winner based on their creativity in decorating the stall/booth and how they apply the 4 P's (Product, Price, Place and Promotion).
 We also managed to get sponsorship from F&N Beverages. Thank you to the lecturers involved and participated in this event.
Students show their talent in operating and organising the booth and event by applying the 4 P's
Among the products that they sold are traditional food, fast food, snack, beverages, fresh flowers, handphone accessories, ladies accessories etc. We can see they are so creative in attracting the customers and promoting the product.

Thank you to the Tuan Pengarah (Rektor UiTMJ) for his support and time
Hopefully, all the students has learnt something from this Marketing Day event. Most of them did not have any working or sales experience. At least, they were exposed to business life and how to manage a small business, although it was only one day event.

Good Luck to all students (especially for MKT243 students ) for this coming final exam...

Hari Terakhir Minggu Terakhir Semester Jan-April 2011

Pejam celik, pejam celik dah berakhir pun semester Jan-April 2011.
Sememangnya minggu terakhir ini adalah minggu yang paling sibuk bagi semua pensyarah dan pelajar. Mana tidaknya, masa itu lah nak settlekan marking kertas test 2, presentation, tugasan individu atau kumpulan dan sebagainya. Itu belum termasuk lagi meeting jabatan, meeting kelab, nak follow up dan kejar students yang tak hantar assignment dan tak attend test dan sebagainya.

Mungkin itu lah rutin yang dilalui oleh semua pensyarah. Dan kini genap lah dua tahun saya melalui fasa hidup dan liku2 kehidupan sebagai pensyarah. Alah bisa tegal biasa... kalau dulu kerja manager, dok mengarah dan monitor je orang, kali ni kena monitor orang jugak, tapi students.. monitor dari awal semester, sampailah tamat semester.

Sudah menjadi kelaziman bagi pendidik, guru, pensyarah dan seangkatan dengannya, mereka pasti mahukan kejayaan dan kecemerlangan dalam akademik bagi pelajar2 mereka. Itu lah amanat yang dapat saya kongsikan kepada pelajar2 saya di hari terakhir. Antara nasihat untuk mereka :
1) Sebelum peperiksaan akhir, cuba bertemu ibu dan bapa semasa minggu ulangkaji atau sekurang2nya menghubungi mereka bagi memohon keberkatan dan doa dari mereka.
2) Jika mereka telah berjaya kelak dan berada di puncak kejayaan, jangan lupa diri.
3) Jika ada peluang sambung belajar, sambung pelajaran setinggi yang mungkin bagi memajukan diri dan bersaing dengan bangsa lain.

Dan yang pasti, tips-tips menghadapi peperiksaan akan saya bagi dan ingatkan kepada mereka. Mudah2an mereka akan berjaya dengan cemerlang dalam peperiksaan akhir yang akan bermula 20 April depan.Dan mudah2an mereka dapat menggunakan segala ilmu dan maklumat yang telah dikongsi sewaktu mass lecture dan tutorial di masa akan datang, di samping menjawab soalan peperiksaan dengan mudah.
