| Photo Essay: Graduate House April, 2001, Toronto |
|
Introduction: the goal of the essay is to try to catch glimpses of the language of architecture. After "reading" a building, it is the time to "write" the interpretation through photography. I tried to use three photos to show the design ideology of Graduate house at U of T's St. George Campus, which was designed by Toronto architect Stephen Teeple and Thom Mayne. This photo essay was inspired by Janet Wong's article Graduate House opens its doors - Architectually bold residence offers students a unique urban environment. |

The Benefits and Challenges of Heterogeneous Teams November, 2000 |
|
Introduction: this essay was written after reading the Steven McShane’s Canadian Organization Behaviour (1998, third Edition, published by McGraw-Hill Ryerson). It shows some of my reflections on the team environment in Canadian Hi-Tech companies.
Outline: this essay focuses on three issues related to heterogeneous teams comprised of members from different cultural backgrounds at Canadian Hi-Tech companies. First, it explores why heterogeneous teams are inevitable. Second, it explores three common problems that arise when forming such teams and proposes possible solutions to each problem. Finally, this paper explores the importance of email for the virtual team. (MS Word File: 26K)
