We are thrilled
to announce that Woosong University recently hosted the 30th Network of
Business Schools (NIBS) Conference from May 10-12, 2023. The NIBS is a global
association of business schools that aims to incorporate cultural insights,
international experience, and global business perspectives into management
education. The association is committed to furthering education by bringing
together business schools worldwide to promote cooperation among educational
institutions in different countries and contribute to a better understanding
between nations by increasing awareness and knowledge of other cultures and
social practices. The association currently has more than 70 member
institutions in over 30 countries.
This year's
conference, organized under the theme "Leadership in an era of digital
transformation," attracted over 60 international and 40 local delegates.
The event brought together current members, potential new members in Asia,
local leaders, and industry professionals to share their insights and ideas.
Woosong University Executive Dean Yoo-Taek Lee emphasized the importance of
international collaboration in bridging the gap between digitized and
less-digitized economies in his conference opening welcome remarks.
The conference
welcomed distinguished guest speakers from the business world to share their
experiences and wisdom on leadership in the digital transformation era. During
the conference, Chairman Moon Kook Hyun, Former Member of the National Assembly
of South Korea in 2008 – 2009, Mr. Steve Park, Senior Director and Head of
Public Policy, Roblox APAC, and Mr. Bradley Byoungyong Moon, Head of Training

took part in an industry tour of South Korea's top elevator company Hyundai
Elevators. This was the first time the NIBS gathering was hosted in Korea. We
hope the conference fostered collaboration among participants and allowed
