As an early faculty member of the Global MBA program at NTU, I have designed and developed 7 courses in Strategy/ IB/Entrepreneurship. I am proud that my effort makes our program intellectually rich and offers more learning opportunities to students.
My courses are highly interactive (yes, we all talk a lot!) and engaging in the most current business issues (we live in a fast-changing world ever!). Discussion, experiments, peer interactions, and guest speaker sessions are here. Of course, it is fun!
SPECIAL LECTURES FOR EXECUTIVES/MBA
I've delivered executive and MBA lectures in Korea (e.g. Yonsei U, Seoul National U) and Taiwan on how governments and semiconductor firms respond to geopolitical dynamics—using comparative cases from the United States, Japan, and Korea since the CHIPS and Science Act.
I've also lead workshops with professional artists at prominent art residencies in Daegu, Cheongju, and Seoul in Korea over the past two years, providing tailored business education to support their commercial success.
