2024 FDIB South Korea
The Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) South Korea program is a joint collaboration between Loyola Marymount University and Florida International University. The program is designed for educators interested in developing a greater understanding of doing business in Korea and exploring how Korean conglomerates such as Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SK, and Lotte have emerged as global competitors. Participants will gain firsthand experience about how South Korea has grown into a trillion-dollar-club economy that ranks the 10th largest in the world and has become a global innovation leader known as the “Miracle of the Han River.” Given poor natural resource endowment, strategic human resource development and management have played a critical role in achieving such remarkable success. This program focuses on learning the key factors driving talent management of Korean companies to enhance local as well as global competitiveness. Participants will visit top multinational companies, providing them with an opportunity to interact with executives and senior managers to discuss the intricacies of the Korean management. In addition, participants will tour and visit historical sites for cultural experiences. Attendees will also listen to special lectures delivered by local scholars and network with other faculty to explore collaborative curriculum development and research interests.
