The goal of this course is to familiarize students with Korean culture, literature, film, music, and society. Classes will consist of lecture, readings, and films and will be structured around small group and class discussions. Through this course, we will examine larger issues such as the legacy of colonialism, gender and social status, the Korean War and its aftermath, economic development and modernization, nationalism, etc. Through this
examination we hope to consider broader and more inclusive approaches to
understanding Korean culture and society.

This course focuses on how a firm can develop and implement effective business-level and corporate-level strategies. Implicitly or explicitly, every firm defines the scope of its business operations, and how it will compete against its rivals. Decisions about the scope of business constitute the firm’s corporate strategy; decisions about how to compete within chosen market segments reflect the firm’s business-level strategy.

Successfully completing this course, you should be able to:

1. Identify and clearly articulate the internal and external factors that lead to a firm’s strategic choices;
2. Use specific management tools to make valid strategic decisions;
   Apply critical thinking to complex management problems with multiple alternative solutions;
3. Collaborate effectively in teams to develop and defend strategy recommendations.

The ubiquitous application of information technology (IT) has fundamentally altered the nature of work, business processes and competition. This course is designed to provide a bird’s eye view of the role of IT in modern organizations and society by examining the design, development, application, and effective use of information systems (IS). Students will be introduced to the strategic role of IT in organizations, technical foundations of IS, data communication technologies, data ethics, and alternative methodologies of IS development. Students will also explore the ever evolving and emerging technologies.

To reinforce the knowledge acquired through reading and in-class discussions, students will take quizzes and engage in hands-on activities to learn text analytics, machine learning, and predictive modelling. For the hands-on components, students will form groups and produce deliverables as a group.

As an advanced level marketing class, this course builds on the fundamentals of marketing. The primary objective of this course is to expose students to the global issues involved in creating marketing strategies that generate value for the global customer. This course will explore the complex and constantly evolving realities of international marketing by introducing a brief review of the macro level environments (i.e., culture, geography, economics, legal systems, and governments) faced in international markets and then by addressing in depth the elements of the international marketing strategy pertaining to issues such as pricing, channels of distribution, consumer and business markets, advertising, sales, and exporting.

We are all consumers. We buy groceries, computers, and cars. We purchase services ranging from bank accounts to college educations. However, consumers are different from one another. Consumers buy different clothes, drive different cars, and eat different food. Moreover, even the same consumer can make different decisions depending on the situation. The most complex aspect of marketing is understanding the mind and heart of the consumer. So how are we to construct coherent marketing strategies? In this class, we will try to learn how and why consumers behave the way they do and explore our intuitions about our own behaviors. We will also learn about theories developed in marketing, psychology, anthropology, economics, and other behavioral sciences. And we will learn how to use these theories to predict how consumers will respond to different marketing activities.

This course gives you a broad introduction to the fascinating and ever-changing world of sustainability. We will explore how investors, companies, cities, and countries are developing their own strategies to respond to one of today’s most important global challenges, that of encouraging sustainable development - development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Using a blend of contemporary movies and other media sources, lectures and case-based studies of well-known companies and cities, you will develop valuable tools and insights into examining how the strategies of companies and cities are impacting on sustainability and how they seek to future-proof themselves and the world in which they operate.

You will collaborate extensively with your international peers to prepare a comprehensive analysis and presentation of the sustainability strategy of a company, a city, or a country of your group’s choice. Such interaction will take place during and outside of class and may take place in a physical classroom or online. Your instructor will regularly promote and support such collaborative activities, helping you develop your research, analytical, presentation and communication competencies in an international and intercultural environment.
