BUS-X 272 Korea: Business Trends and Solutions in Korea

Led by: Clinical Professor and Associate Chair for Kelley Direct Alex Lopes, who is from Brazil and has led study tours to Brazil, China, India, Thailand, and Guatemala.

The focus of BTS-Korea is on innovation. Bloomberg, MarketWatch, and the Christensen Institute have named Korea the most innovative country in the world. As the host of major industrial groups (chaebols) and innovative startups, Korea offers a glimpse into the future of technology, entertainment, fashion, and living. We will benefit from our relationship with a major Korean school, Sungkyunkwan University, to visit many organizations leading the world in their fields. In parallel, we will explore the rich culture, history, and traditions of a country that has emerged in the last 70 years from being one of the most impoverished nations on Earth to become a wealthy and influential global player.
