'Global Mando', Knowledge Network is Power
In addition, Mando’s knowledge management is of great significance in Korean corporate sectors. Mando is the first Korean company which developed its own performance evaluation indexes and used it to measure how much knowledge management contributed to the corporate performance and how big the net value of key assets are.
In doing so, Mando could manage the goals of knowledge management effectively. In the wake of Asian financial crisis back in 1997~1998, Mando went bankrupt and froze out all corporate expenditures. However, Mando didn’t stop investment in knowledge management.
As a result, Mando finally revived with 41 billion won in net profit in 2008. With high recognition of Mando's knowledge management, Korea's top business daily, MAEIL Business Newspaper and BOOZALLEN Korea awarded Mando the best prize in knowledge management in 2007.
Reason for applying for EWKLP(East-West Knowledge Leaders Program)
In most of 2008, I mainly wrote articles about legal circles, which broadened my horizon on the importance of legal issues in the corporate side. Since late 2008, I have been engaged in the educational field, focusing on universities.
By covering both demand and supply side of education, I realized education has many things to do with business. In this time of financial crisis, universities are under the pressure of change and innovation just like companies.
So far, I spent most of my career in covering corporate sectors. I had more than 20 opportunities to look at how companies operate their business for global competition.

In addition, EWKLP will serve a good chance to promote Korea to foreign friends. In spite of strong economic size and potentials, Korea is one of the undervalued countries in the global stage. Some business sectors such as semi-conductor, shipping and automobile industry, Korean companies are leading the world. By actively introducing Korean companies and their success stories to classes, I want to let EWKLP participants know more about Korea.
At the same time, I will do my best to be more aware of neighboring countries. These may create new business opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region after EWKLP students go back to their home. Amongst the participant countries, it is also anticipated that improved image on Korea will enhance nation-level relationship.
