國商系林純如教授與本系高啟中教授帶領同學參訪台灣重要外貿機構——中華民國對外貿易發展協會。期待同學可以在參訪後，夠加了解貿協對於台灣對外貿易的協助與其扮演的重要角色。

貿協近期剛對內進行的裝修，期待透過軟硬體的革新，為員工帶來新氣象，也讓員工能夠在更加舒適的環境工作。整修後的貿協，一改過去沈悶的風氣與雜亂的空間。這次的裝修運用了玻璃隔間，拉近員工與上司間的距離，也設置了可以供人員放鬆的功能室與健身房，真的為員工想得面面俱到。

在參觀完後，貿協秘書長 王熙蒙先生為學生帶來精彩的演講。王熙蒙先生在貿易世界耕耘多年，今天以貿易環境的改變與學生分享，在時間與空間的推移下，貿易的變遷與改革。也從地緣政治的角度，與學生分享他的觀察與預言，是令人欽佩的大前輩。

此次參訪不但讓學生得以一探貿協對台灣貿易的耕耘，更透過與前輩的對談，了解到產業環境的轉變與未來不定性，讓學生們獲益良多、滿載而歸。

Prof. Lin and Prof. Kao led the students to visit Taiwan's important foreign trade organization, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council. After the visit, students were expected to understand more about the assistance and important role played by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) in Taiwan's external trade.

The recent interior renovation of the TAITRA is expected to bring a new atmosphere to the staff through the innovation of software and hardware, and to enable the staff to work in a more comfortable environment. The renovated TAITRA has changed the boring atmosphere and cluttered space in the past. The renovation utilizes glass partitions to narrow the distance between employees and their supervisors, as well as function rooms and a gymnasium for staff to relax, which is really for the benefit of the employees.

After the visit, Mr. Simon Wang, the President and CEO of TAITRA, gave a wonderful speech to the students. Mr. Simon Wang has been working in the world of trade for many years. Today, he shared with the students the changes in the trade environment and the changes and reforms of trade in the passage of time and space. He also shared with students his observations and predictions from a geopolitical point of view, making him an admirable predecessor.

The visit not only allowed the students to explore the cultivation of Taiwan's trade by the TAITRA, but also to understand the changes in the industrial environment and the uncertainty of the future through the conversation with the seniors, which allowed the students to return home with a great deal of benefit and fulfillment.
