Trust and Team Development to Fight Chaos – Three Student Reports

Abstract The world is increasingly developing toward complex and chaotic behaviour. Enterprises are challenged to establish flexible but trustworthy strructures of doing business within global instability. We need to educate our students today for coping with such chaotic patterns in their professional future. As an example, the student-run Europe-wide organisation ESTIEM is offering the 2-week Summer Academy SAC to develop the communication skills corresponding. It also means among other aims, to strengthen mutual trust through interaction of the students. In 2011, one of the SAC took place in Serbia. About 15 students attended it from all over Europe. In the paper, three of these students report on their experiences as a set of suggestions of how to develop further engineering and economics teaching toward international trust and stability.
