For the last decades, Beijing summers

were typically very hot and humid while wind was almost non-existent. The surrounding bowl-shaped area made the situation worse since it is very hard for pollution to escape the city. Rapid industrial development had lead to a very dry and unhealthy environment in Beijing. By 2001, the air quality was almost three times as bad as the maximum level pollution the WHO prescribes. Something had to be done to create an atmosphere where the Olympic athletes could safely practise their sports.

The city of Beijing has started a program to tackle this dire situation. Measures have been taken to lower the emissions of the millions of vehicles of the city. Their immense contribution to the poor air quality is reduced by improved fuel quality. The large polluting factories around the city have been moved to less populated areas and big investments have been made in public transport. These measures have already lowered emissions and lead to cleaner air during the Summer Olympics.

Index 3 2Beer can definitely be part of a healthy life style. This is the case today as people all over the world enjoy a vast variety of beers. Beer is part of culture and should be consumed properly. All companies supplying beer need to be aware that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) needs to be implemented to assure the proper use of alcohol.

Heineken is the leader when it comes to taking action to prevent alcohol abuse. Heineken uses online media to involve consumers and educate them on responsible drinking. In addition, they strive to make responsible consumption more concrete and visible than ever before. This involves for example working with governments to promote responsible drinking.

Live the Heineken way

After the great success of the Turin Winter Olympics the Holland Heineken House has reopened its doors for the Games in Beijing. Thousands of people come to the HHH including sport personalities, enthusiasts, journalists and business people. It is a place of cheer and reflection yet also for people from across the world to establish connections.

The National Agricultural Exhibition Centre, location of the HHH, is one of the four largest exhibition centres in Beijing and has been used for over 300 events. The incredible building has the capacity of six football fields - and that’s only show floor. This space will be the playing field for cultural and business exchange between the Netherlands and the world.

As a swimmer Erica Terpstra won 2 medals at the Olympics of 1960 and 1964. These days Ms. Terpstra is chairwoman of the Dutch Olympic Committee.

4 5On March the 24th, at the birthplace of the Olympics in Greece, the Olympic torch started its relay around the world. The “Journey of Harmony” is 137.000 ki-lometres long, includes 6 continents, 40 countries and more than 20.000 carriers. After it was lit in Greece the flame went over to Beijing to start its journey past the old silk route. This paid respect to the ancient relations China had with its sur-rounding regions for millennia. After a tour through Europe and the United States the flame even made its way up to the roof of

the world, the Mount Everest. When the torch arrived back in China the tour was abruptly interrupted on May 12 by the horrendous Great Sichuan earth-quake causing over 80.000 casualties. Out of respect for the victims the relay began with a moment of silence and a donation relief on May 14. The relay was suspended for a couple of days and continued afterwards to finally lit the Olympic flame in Beijing.

Portrait

With almost half of the Netherlands below sea level, the Dutch always had to fight against the water trying to reclaim the land. Most of the country is divided in small islands by an elaborate system of narrow waterways. For over a thousand years Dutch farmers have been using an ingenious way to deal with all these obstacles on their farmland.

Fierljeppen, literally far-leaping, is a technique to jump over these small waterways using a 8 to 10 metre long pole. When faced with a ditch, the farmers brake

into a long run, plant one end of the poll in the middle of the water and hold on to the other end. The leveraging effect will get them easily to the other side without even touching the water. Over the years, the necessity for Fierljeppen decreased and it evolved into a sport enjoyed by a lot of Dutch farmers. The sport is starting to get some followers in the United States and Japan and some people are trying to turn it into an Olympic sport.

THE NOC*NSFThe NOC*NSF is the umbrella sports organization of the Netherlands and was founded in 1993 after a merge of NOC and NSF. Ninety Dutch National sports associations are attached to the NOC*NSF, which is the Dutch representative at the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The NOC*NSF sets the main requirements a Dutch athlete must fulfill in order to participate at the Olympic Games.

The Committee, with Erica Terpstra at the top, strives for the promotion and improvement of (top-) sports in the Netherlands. It has a strong position throughout the entire Dutch society, from the fields of amateur football players to the influential positions in politics. Before the start of every Olympics, all the Dutch Olympic athletes switch from their own sports association to the NOC*NSF.

6 7“I don’t know anybody who lives

so intensively, she always seems to be full of energy. Never have

I seen her in a bad mood and she tells me all the time how happy she is”, says Ms. Ada Kok, close friend and former swim colleague about Ms. Terpstra. This energy became Ms. Terpstra’s trademark when she start-ed her swim career in the early six-ties at the club HZ&PZ, the Hague. She was fast, very fast, and with her ambitious attitude Ms. Terpstra went to the Olympics of 1960 in Rome. Four years later, at the Olympics of Tokyo, she took a bronze and silver medal back to the Netherlands.

STUDIES AND CAREERMs. Terpstra started a study in Sinol-ogy in this period and although her passion for Chinese culture and lan-guage never vanished, she did not graduate due to a busy time with sports, her husband and children. Af-ter the early sixties Ms. Terpstra left the world of athletes and became a Dutch teacher for Chinese students,

followed by a small career in sports-journalism. Her life changed when in 1977 she became a member of the House of Commons for the liberal party VVD, only to leave at 2003 as one of the most popular politi-cians ever.

MOTHER OF ALL ATHLETESMs. Terpstra found herself back in sports as she got elected as chairwom-an of the NOC*NSF, which is her cur-rent position. She profiled herself as the always-enthusiastic and motivat-ing ‘mother ’ of all athletes. Present at all major events, cheering, scream-ing and encouraging. Most people de-scribe her as flamboyant, spontaneous and friendly. As close friend Margriet de Koning says, also playfully refer-ring to Ms. Terpstra’s posture: “From the very moment the Olympics start, you will see a huge, screaming orange spot at the stands.”

BUDDHISMDue to her deep interest in Sinology, Ms. Terpstra was highly impressed by Buddhism. She started to appreciate and study this way of life and became very well acquainted with all aspects. However, she does not want to be called a Buddhist: “I am an everlasting student of the principals.” Friend Ada Kok thinks the fascination originates from her parents, Ms. Terpstra herself says it comes from a former life, as she believes in reincarnation

BOYCOTTWhile more and more countries de-bated the possibility of a boycott, Ms. Terpstra was one of the few thatdared

to take a clear statement. At a sports ministers conference in Slovenia, March 17th, she was asked about her opinion: “To bur-den sports with this is the wrong way. It really has to be for the politicians. And I have another concern: Keep your hands off my athletes!” Ms. Terpstra was highly respected among athletes for tak-ing this position.

KEEPING UPIt seems like the NOC*NSF chair-woman has a never-ending source of energy to stay motivated and fulfil all aspects of her time-con-suming function. However, friend Margriet de Koning is sometimes afraid of the consequences of Ms. Terpstra’s extremely busy life. One might wonder where the energy and motivation comes from. How can a single person represent an entire country? How does she in-spire so many people by just talk-ing to them?

ENERGY OUT OF HAPPINESSThe answer, according to Ms. de Koning, lies in her youth. As a young girl, little Erica went to her father and asked “I am so happy, what should I do?” Her father said that she would be successful if she shares that happiness with people around her. And that is exactly what Ms. Terpstra still does; she gets energy out of happiness, and shares it with everybody around her. This motivates her and keeps her going for many years to come. So, next time you watch a game in Beijing, look up to see that ‘orange spot’ doing what she does best: her work.

New York, USA.In May of this year Amstel Light,

one of the most popular imported beer from

Holland, launched an advertising campaign that drew a lot of at-tention. The ad was supposed to convey emotions related to Amsterdam hence the slogan “One Dam Good Beer.” Heineken, owner of Amstel, wants to communicate the free-nature of the Amsterdam culture which resides in the beer that they brew.

Cardiff, Wales.75,000 people cheered for their favorite team at the Millennium Stadium in June as the best Rugby teams in Europe went to battle. The Heineken Cup is Rugby’s Champions League and is the most important Rugby title in Europe. This year the Heineken Cup was lifted by the Irish team Mun-ster, the runners-up were Toulouse from France. It

was a clash of the titans yet the Irish proved to be the stronger team beating Toulouse with 16 – 13.

Auckland, New Zealand. In January this year history was writ-ten when the first German won the Heineken Tennis Open in Auckland. Philipp Kohlschreiber fought through and won by 7-6, 7-5 over Juan Carlos Ferrero. The former number one Juan Carlos Ferrero could not persist as Kohlschreiber never gave up and just had the upper hand.

Guangzhou, China.Heineken BV and AP Breweries have decided to expand its business in China by constructing a new brewery in the Guangzhou. This move will strengthen brands such as Heineken and Tiger especially in the Jiangsu, Shanghai and Hainen markets. The investment will cost an estimated 82 mil-lion US dollars - not much when considering China’s future potential. The brewery will be completed in 2009.

Maharashtra,India.Tiger beer is well known beer in Asia Pacific with distribution in over 60 countries. Tiger will now also be brewed in India. APBAL Breweries have taken on the responsibility to maintain quality and reputation. Present Dutch brewing experts are momentarily keeping an eye on operations and have already implemented over 200 quality checks for the process. Tiger beer has shot up in popularity amongst locals.

Johannesburg,South Africa.To challenge SABMiller’s dominance Heineken will team up with the owners of Guinness, Diageo PLC. The joint venture is going to build a brewery on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Tom de Man, Heinekens regional president of Africa and the Middle East said: “With Africa now Heineken’s fastest growing region and the Heineken brand growing 70 percent in South Africa, there is no better time to invest in growth.”

Heineken World Update

Sao Paulo, Brazil.In February, Heineken went on a tour through Latin America showcasing the famous Champi-ons League Trophy. The Tour starts in Sao Paulo and finishes in Mexico City in April. As both the Champions League and Heineken beer is increasing in popularity, Heineken is using the tour as an opportunity to stimulate brand awareness and its communications. Thousands of people travel to see the trophy as it is escorted through the streets.

A Cultural Beer Brew

If beer flowed like a river how would these cultures swim to the other side?

The Netherlands and China have vastly different cultures including the way they enjoy beer. There is though an interesting similarity involving billions of dollars.

BEER WINS ANCIENT BATTLESThe infamous general Zhang Fei once wrote how he tricked his enemy in mak-ing their commander believe his infan-try to be drunk in battle, resulting in the

conquering of an oblivious Wu Kingdom. Yet this happened in the year 221 AC, however, the last two centuries were actually responsible for industrialized brewing techniques. In 1903, an Anglo-German settlement wanted to produce a lager suited for expatriates and soldiers, later this brewery would supply beer for three wars, it will be owned by four coun-tries and today it would be China’s num-ber-one local brew: Tsingtao. So beer has tingled the taste-buds of Chinese people for millennia, although branded beers have only recently become popular.

GLOBAL BRAND FOUNDATIONSIn the Netherlands, beer became popular in the 1300’s mostly due to partnerships with barley farmers in Germany and also because it was safer to drink than water. During the Dutch trading golden era, micro-brewing gained popularity as merchants, sailors and traders were stationed at central areas like harbors. Later in the early 1800’s larger brewer-ies such as Heineken started to expand business to different ports like the port of Rotterdam. Since then two patterns developed: one that beer has become an

integral part of Dutch culture and the second being that the Nether-lands has inherited massive global brewing companies. Composer Frank Zappa once said “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. …at the very least you need a beer.”

HOW DO THEY DO IT?The role that beer plays in both Dutch and Chinese culture lies at opposite poles. The Dutch drink beer in small glasses on a very social level and seek taste superiority. Drinking beer in China is also seen as so-cial yet their satisfaction is created through the context not the liquid. That’s why in the Netherlands one finds not only specialized beer bars but you will also discover that most bars only have beer and wine as a choice. Here the beer is paramount and result is social enjoyment. The Chinese would rather drink beer much slower and over longer periods like an extensive dinner. The notori-ous Chinese mao-tai is preferred as the catalyst when wanting to stim-ulate dialogue and increase social pleasure; this is for instance seen at business gatherings or karaoke excursions. Interestingly, in China, imported beer is seen as the best whereas in the Netherlands smaller breweries are respected for taste.

...AND THE DUTCH?The Dutch love to sit outside a ca-fé’s terrace - opposite a waterway - enjoying the seldom seen sun. The notion of hanging out in bars and drinking amid loud music exist only in the most commercialized areas of large Chinese cities. A group of Chinese friends would rather drink some beers during a conversational evening dinner, thereafter wine and spirits are brought to hand.

A WIN-WIN SITUATIONWith the ever increasing purchas-ing power, the Chinese will be able to spend more on foreign brands in-cluding beer. The Chinese are not just spending more on beer but also consume more. In essence, capital-ism is enticing demand for beer and with each new brand the Chinese get thirstier for a foreign taste, yet their way they consume beer won’t change over night. The Dutch think of beer as part of society where the Chi-nese see beer as a social instrument. Many things will change for China in the future, including their beer cul-ture, and if the Dutch continue their prominence in global beer supply you might just hear “biertje” echoing from the back of a bar in Beijing.

arable crop will be necessary. That relates to a size of Brazil; farmland that is not available on Earth. In contrary, in China land erosion is strongly increasing.

DUTCH INGENUITYScientists and farmers from the Nether-land developed a system which has many advantages towards traditional farming:

Greenhousing in urban areas. Currently, the Dutchmen in cooperation with Ameri-cans are therefore working in Shanghai and Beijing to construct the Greenhouses. Due to a sophisticated in-house agricul-tural system farmers are anyway already able to strongly increase the per m2 pro-duction of vegetables. Instead of the regu-lar 2-3 kg harvest these closed systems al-low up to 17 kg per square meter, feeding way more people than before.

CITY GREENHOUSE The ecological plan foresees 5 story high buildings where fast growing plants such as salads and herbs and sensitive plants such as berries and tomatoes could be cultivated. Dutch scientists say that the bigger these greenhouses get the more ef-ficient they become. Economic plants are

produced with a fraction of land, water and energy usage of regular arable crop land. Transportation costs are reduced due to being close to the local markets. In-cluding even animals, such systems could become self-sustaining and independent.

IT’S ALREADY OPERATING This still ripening technology has however already entered the market. Due to the cooperation between Dutch and Chinese companies this greenhouse technology might solve a fundamental problem for the Chinese and the entire world society.

Bus ines s the way i t shou ld be

Massive containerships roaming the seas of China are a clear sign of its booming ecomomy. More and more of these big boats sail off to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This trading relationship is not a recent development though. It has been growing for over 300 years.

The formation of a small fort on Taiwan in 1624 launched a fragile trade relationship between the two countries. Chinese silk, popular in Holland, was traded in large quantities. This period ended very sudden in 1662 when a gigantic 25.000 men strong Chinese army forced the 2000 Dutch settlers to leave the island.

It took till 1728 for the Dutch traders to set foot on Chinese soil again. The city council of Canton, currently Guangzhou, granted European traders a thirteen quarters on a tiny island to trade tea and porcelain. These foreigner quarters, called Hongs, were the basis for present-day Hong Kong. The struggles between China and England ended the frail trade relationship in the 1850’s. Trade between Holland and China was virtually impossible for over a century.

The trade was finally re-established in the 1970’s and increased ever since. Chinese clothing and computer parts are traded for Dutch livestock and beer. Nowadays, China is the second biggest exporter to the Netherlands. Holland and the People’s Republic of China have a very strong relationship that will surely keep on growing over the upcoming years.

“China offers enormous growth potential”- Dr. Martin Brudermüller The postdoctoral chemist Martin Brudermüller works for BASF, the leading chemical company in the world. He started his career in 1988 working himself up to become member of the Board of Executive Directors in 2006. He leads operations in the Asian market, which in 2010 shall represent 10 percent of its global sales and earnings. Mr. Brudermüller states that BASF “is convinced that China offers enormous growth potential”. Maybe therefore he travels 2/3 of his time, his working field reaching from India to South Korea and from China to New Zealand.

Old Partners - New Fronteirs

Business

China is changing. Whether it concerns the increased amount of needed energy, the

growing middle class population or the upward usage of transportation, all these and many other sectors are currently under strong development. They all put the far-east country in front of a big challenge. The Sum-mer Olympics in Beijing in 2008 pose only one example of how serious the Chinese are taking this progress. It is a product of their fast economic growth.

A NEW ERA In comparison to Western countries China only recently started develop-ing and researching new technolo-gies. Even though the history of

the country is unique in its kind, in terms of sciences, economy or envi-ronmental protection China needs to adjust. Therefore foreign investors are gladly seen: they bring new ideas and thus help China to enter a new era.

THE ROLE MODELOne of the inevitable problems China will have to overcome is the nour-ishment of currently growing mid-dle class population. An average city these days needs an arable crop land of ten times its own size. By the year 2035, 70% of the population of China will live in cities (in December 2006 it was 44%), which results in ever growing farmland. By the year 2050 one billion hectare additional land of Urban Greenhouse

THE CHALLENGE

45thousand wholly foreign owned enterprises (WFOEs) settled in China in 2005. Yet, in spite of the

massive size of the country’s workforce and the growing numbers of young graduates available on the market, the demand for qualified professionals has skyrocketed and can hardly be met. Thus, today, one of the main concerns for HR professionals remains to recruit and retain talented employees. This succinctly summarizes the human resource dilemma that China is currently facing.

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?This situation led to a staffing shortage that is indeed so severe that some industries could hire each qualified candidate for several available jobs. For companies willing to hire, there is sometimes nothing to do but getting into contact with overseas Chinese or expatriates. Furthermore, with the Chinese educational system emphasizing technical skills, only 10 percent of up to 4 million new university graduates have managerial or business knowledge. Given the current market, human resource practitioners in modern China have become much more involved in companies’ top management levels. As a result, as urgent as these issues are, human resource management requires innovative thinking and creative solutions to tackle the challenge efficiently.

THINK FURTHERYet, recruiting is only the tip of the HR

iceberg, and employees’ aspirations are changing. Nowadays, paying more is no longer a means of retaining people. Many young executives would rather give up a well-paid job requiring them to work on weekends and holidays for a more “human” organization, stressing work-family life balance. So as to keep young talents, firms should focus on translating their business strategies into people strategies, by creating motivating jobs, allowing job enlargement, job enrichment, plus skill and task variety. In such a fast growing market, firms should think about building, and not only buying a competitive workforce. A workforce that would evolve accordingly with its environment, leading to both individual and organizational high-performance work practices.

KEEP RUNNINGInitiatives such as offering employees a dynamic career path or rewards programs

will not only retain people but also develop and nurture their individual effort. Similarly, many employees won’t leave a good company where they know they are well cared for. A company that shows its values to his employees and re-gards them on an individual level will be seen as a good employer. A key practice in retaining talents would be to provide professionals with health insurance. In other words, companies should ensure that their reward programs en-courage the type of employee performance that will contribute to develop their business.

A LESSON TO BE LEARNED The human resource dilemma in China raised concerns even amongst the departments of the Beijing municipal government, that has drawn up a plan to ensure sufficient and competent staff will be found for the Olympic Games, taking advantage of the XXIX Olympiad to create a pool of talent for the city’s future.

CHINA: TACKLING THE CHALLENGE

16Architects Jacques Herzog & Pierre de MeuronBoth Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron took the step to the Asian world. Having accom-plished numerous projects in Europe and America they won the public voting in 2002 for the National Stadium of the Summer Olympics in Beijing 2008. The result is the Nest as the Chinese call it, according to Jacques Herzog “maybe the most important construction of our career”. The Stadium mixes both Chinese and European culture and stands for security and home on the Chinese site and a pot which embraces the audience on the architecture’s site.

Jean-François van Boxmeer: 007 of Beer BrandsThis CEO claims that the one thing he loves is to relax at home with a cold lager and watch a James Bond movie. Van Boxmeer is a man with a mission, as he wants to reposition the Heineken brand world wide.

“At the turn of the 20th century, it was a competitive advantage to have the right brewer. Now everybody can make a decent beer. At Heineken we have our own yeast that grows in our own labs. We still pay tremendous attention to making the product as good as we can and we still do a lot of research and development to make shelf life better and to make other marginal im-provements. However, because these technologies are readily available, the battle is now about what the brand represents.”HR

In a country where the economy is rising as fast as China’s, one would imagine changes in demand for the type of workforce. These changes lead to an alarming situation in China as the country had grown so fast, it overtook the development of Human Resources.

The most successful gymnast in China would have to be Li Xiaopeng. He has won 15 world titles including two gold medals in Sydney and 2 at the World Cup. Li started at the age of six, his parents motivated and trained him, not knowing that at the Lausanne World Championships in 1997, he would become China’s youngest champion; he was only 16. At the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Li Xiaopeng could only achieve bronze yet claims he will bring back at least two gold medals on home soil.

Liu Xiang was the first athlete to achieve the “triple crown” of athletics in the history of China. At the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne on July 2006, Liu set a new world record in the 110-metre hurdles, with a time of 12.88 seconds. On this day the spectating crowd went wild and so did the Chinese people – a star was born. This brilliant athlete has won 11 World Titles so far and will come to the Olympics to get some more.

Chen Zhong fights in the 72 kilo category and has claimed two Olympics Gold medals. Previously a basketball player, Zhong switched to Taekwondo in 1995. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she kicked out four opponents in one morning, and took China's first Olympic gold medal in Taekwondo. After her victory at the National Championship her vision of gold at the Beijing Olympics became evident. Although she claims to be an introvert outside the ring, her opponents still fear her every move.

At age 35, Mark Huizinga had won two World titles, five European titles, numerous Dutch champion-ships and three Olympic medals. Also being an officer for the Royal Dutch Air force he combines his love for sports as a judoka which he started at the age of four. He made an astonishing debut in 1996 were he took home a bronze medal in men’s under 90kg class. At the Summer Games of 2000, he was awarded gold when he defeated heavyweight ‘Carlis Honorato’ by Ippon.

This champ is definitely a force to be recon with, as he prepares for his last Olympics. His ultimate goal is to close his career with a consecutive fourth Olympic medal. Something that no male judoka has ever accomplished before.

Otherwise known as ‘The Flying Dutchman’ or ‘Hoogie’ this legendary athlete maneuvers his 6 .4 foot body in water like a true dolphin. Pieter van den Hoogenband first got noticed during the European junior competition. At age 18 PVDH blew everyone away in Atlanta where he man-aged to get fourth place. The highlight of the Dutch swim-mer was in 2000, during the games of Sydney. On the 100

and 200 meter freestyle Pieter won both a gold medal and established two World Records. Finally after eight years, Van den Hoogenband’s 100 meter freestyle record of 47.84 seconds was broken by French swimmer Alian Bernard with 47.50 seconds.

Originally born in China, her early years were

spend in playing with friends and competing on rec-reational level. Since her national transfer, she be-came the first Dutch champ since 1992,

during the European championships and

won various titles. Cur-rently Li Jiao belongs to

the Top 10 of female single players. Her debut at the

Olympics will surely cause a stir as already dubbed “one

of the favorites.”

Olympiads that guarantee action. Both China and the Netherlands expect gold from these renowned athletes...
