Education, particularly vocational education and a subsequent industry-school collaboration model has been my main area of interest ever since I started to work at Maeil Business Newspaper, Korea's No.1 business daily. 

Succeeding TAFEs in Australia, vocational education system of Germany and Scandinavian countries would be my next target for exploration on this issue.

Global Mando, strategy is in knowledge management

Furthermore the center established and operated the optimal 'global R&D response system' by collecting customer demands and technology information in close cooperation with research centers in Beijing and India, technology centers in America and Germany. 

'Global Specification Management System' is the best example. From the planning stage to the mass production and quality control level, product information of both domestic and overseas investors and partners was efficiently exchanged throughout the whole process of product development.

Improving the Quality of MBA Education in Korea, Japan and China(10)

Improving the Quality of MBA Education in Korea, Japan and China - Integrating East & West

In this regard, MBA schools should listen to corporate voices and be ready to adapt to changes. Master of Business and Engineering Program of Steinbeis University in Germany can be a good role model for Asian MBA schools. 

At Steinbeis University, students are admitted to school upon the corporate requests and sponsoring companies pay the student’s tuition in return for comprehensive study on specific projects of importance to them. As a result, after a one year intense curriculum and additional focus on the above specific projects, the student would return to the company armed with practical knowledge especially on those targeted projects.

International Disputes over the Intellectual Property Rights(5)

Study on international disputes over the intellectual property rights

WIPO, Max Planck Institute in Germany and American Law Institute have also drafted international conventions regarding the governing law. These attempts are common in that they suggest 'lex loci protectionis' as principle for resolution of the international disputes over the intellectual property rights according to 'territorialitatsprinzip.' 

Indeed, it is difficult to solve the innumerable international disputes over the intellectual property rights arising simultaneously, while national interests conflict with each other due to different political, economic and cultural policies. Thus, unified global standards for the governing law have a long way to go.

Nevertheless, efforts should continue to be made to establish an international law and order for effective resolution of the international disputes over the intellectual property rights. Of course, Korea or the IT power envied by the world is obliged to be more concerned about the legal infra befitting her status in the international community.

Thoughts on Vocational Education(9)

Vocational Education in South Korea and Australia

My e-book on the Korean vocational education system, mainly featuring 6 exemplary high schools including Induk Technical Highschool and Seoul Girls' Commercial highschool was published last June. Titled 'Should Go to a College?', the book has been provoking nationwide sensation so far. 

Please find the attached cover page and English summary as additional documentary evidence. Now I'm communicating with a Japanese publishing agency, 'CUON(www.cuon.jp)' to have my e-book published in Japanese language soon.

Knowledge Network is Power(8)

'Global Mando', Knowledge Network is Power

The central research center in Korea leads the development projects of the new technology and global R&D. Furthermore the center establishes and operates the optimal 'global R&D response system' by collecting customer demands and technology information in close cooperation with research centers in Beijing and India, technology centers in America and Germany. 

'Global Specification Management System' is the best example. Product information of both domestic and overseas investors and partners is efficiently exchanged throughout the whole process of product development, from the planning stage to mass production and quality control level. 

In the same context, PLM program enables research centers, domestic factories and overseas investors to share information on technology, parts development and product specification management.

Governing Law in Von Dutch Case(4)

Study on 'Territorialitatsprinzip' and 'Lex Loci Protectionis' in the International Disputes over the Intellectual Property Rights

On the other hand, a variety of international efforts are being made to unify the standards for determining the governing law for the international disputes over the intellectual property rights. 

The model examples of such movements are Berne Convention, Rome Convention, and the like. WIPO, Max Planck Institute in Germany and American Law Institute have also drafted international conventions regarding the governing law. 

These attempts are common in that they suggest 'lex loci protectionis' as principle for resolution of the international disputes over the intellectual property rights according to 'territorialitatsprinzip.'

Strategy in Knowledge Management(6)

In doing so, Mando shortened the required time for the development of new technology and invigorated R&D. At the same time, by compiling knowledge through community of practice activities, Mando encouraged all employees see and learn the know-how of in-house experts.

Mando's knowledge management does not just stay in sharing, utilizing and creating corporate knowledge. Rather, it advances to global network which ties foreign investors and partners together. The central research center in Korea led the development projects of the new technology and global R&D. 

Furthermore the center established and operated the optimal 'global R&D response system' by collecting customer demands and technology information in close cooperation with research centers in Beijing and India, technology centers in America and Germany.

'Global Specification Management System' is the best  example. From the planning stage to the mass production and quality control level, product information of both domestic and overseas investors and partners was efficiently exchanged throughout the whole process of product development.

Improving the Quality of MBA Education in Korea, Japan and China(5)

Improving the Quality of MBA Education in Korea, Japan and China(5) - Integrating East & West

In that Korea, Japan and China is located close to each other, MBA schools in three countries have great advantage to provide comprehensive curriculum.

In this sense, BESETO program, a North-East Asian university belt for strengthening relationship among Beijing (Peking) University, Seoul National University and Tokyo National University, is required to be more activated. Nobody will dispute that MBA schools primarily exist for practical education.

In this regard, MBA schools should listen to corporate voices and be ready to adapt to changes. Master of Business and Engineering Program of Steinbeis University in Germany can be a good role model for Asian MBA schools. At Steinbeis University, students are admitted to school upon the corporate requests and sponsoring companies pay the student’s tuition in return for comprehensive study on specific projects of importance to them.
