Production rotation for R&D-Trainee

Montag der 25. Februar 2008

“Do you have 400RMB?” my colleague asked urgently.  I know borrowing money from friends and relatives is very common in China.  But, at work? “The valve is there, I need to pay the express service, cash,” the engineer added excitedly.  After three days of down-time due to a machine failure, we finally see the […]

The Joint AdVenture in Shanghai - III

Freitag der 25. Januar 2008

AdVenture 3: Have you driven a Chinese car?
“I am going to throw up…” screamed a trainee in the little bus I am driving. All the others are happily riding – let’s say, happily jumping on their seats (inside the car), because the lanes are that rough.
One of the stops we had at UAES was […]

The Joint AdVenture in Shanghai - II

Donnerstag der 17. Januar 2008

AdVenture 2: The Joint Venture – UAES
The actual event was a lot of fun. We learned a lot about our host: UAES, the biggest player in the Chinese market for gasoline engine management system. UAES is a 50-50 joint venture of Bosch and a conglomerate of Chinese manufacturers, among which SAIC is the major […]

The Black-out

Mittwoch der 2. Januar 2008

3:20pm: The executive vice president of finance of our Chinese subsidiary shook hands with K, pleased with what K had shown him.  Suddenly, „Boom!“ Then darkness. Then, emergency lights came on.  I turned around to K, my hands still on the assembly machine  “Dude, what did you just do?” - “Nothing, I swear!” - […]

Christmas - the Chinese way

Donnerstag der 27. Dezember 2007

“Merry Christmas!” A crowd of people with red Santa hats rushed through the restaurant, blowing paper whistles and hitting people in the restaurant with air-filled plastic hammers. “Ouch!” the few foreigners in the restaurant fell victims to the relentless hammers and looked more than disconcerted by this Chinese way of X’mas. In the background […]

Trainee Program: myth and reality

Freitag der 2. November 2007

What is a standard trainee program?

There is no such thing.  Some trainees have 6-7 trainee stations, some have only 3-4.  Some trainees never have a corporate station at Schillerhöhe, the corporate headquarter, some have more than one.  There is also no rule, when one does what.  There are countless possibilities at Bosch, the advantage a […]

Bosch Values

Dienstag der 30. Oktober 2007

The first thing I learned when I entered Bosch was the House of Orientation.  It is the manifesto of what we live for, why we do what we do, and how we should do it.  I have heard it millions of times, but have not felt it so strong as today.  
At lunch, I […]

Prelude - 2 Days in Spain

Montag der 1. Oktober 2007

“Si, si…”, I nervously pointed to the Tapas in the glass case, “no, no…no…” It seems, without speaking Spanish, one really had to starve a little in Spain. I should have taken a colleague with me from the plant when I go out for dinner.
In contrast, within the Bosch plant, everyone is multi-lingual […]
