Originally from South Korea, I moved to Maryland to pursue my degree in Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship at the University of Maryland, College Park. After completing my degree, I joined Strategy Area at the Mitch Daniels School of Business, Purdue University.Â
My research interests encompass strategic human capital, corporate strategy, and their intersection. Specifically, my research delves into the embeddedness perspective to understand how individuals and firms appropriate rent from the value that is created from relational capital. I serve on the editorial board of Organization Science and Strategic Management Journal.
