To train the soft skills of MBA UGM students in the global business world, the MBA FEB UGM study program organizes an official banquet or table manner that supports and provides students with the procedures applied for formal dining in business meetings by the rules of table manners. The event was held at the Horison Ultima Riss Hotel, which was attended by all 79 and 80 MBA FEB UGM students in the Yogyakarta Campus.
The hotel staff guided the event by dividing the participants into five groups to participate in the Hotel Tour. In this session, students gained knowledge about the technical management of hotels that is useful for those who want to be a hotelier. The next session continued with a professional bed-making demo, where the staff demonstrated it directly.
The core manner core session begins with a guide explaining the basic rules in the table manner, such as coming on time, coming according to the number of invitations, using the appropriate dress code, and sitting in an upright position during eating dishes to demonstrate the use of cutlery according to the correct procedures. All of these activities are expected to increase the confidence and ethics of MBA UGM students during an international business meeting. (Public Relations & Documentation: Wira)
