2025 Academic Year Development Plan for the Department of Global Management

1. Current Status of the Department:

• 1) Definition of Global Management
  Global Management is an academic field that studies strategies, decision-making, and global business capabilities to help organizations operate effectively in an international environment. Through English-based education, students learn differences in culture, economy, and institutions across countries while strengthening practical skills in international management, marketing, trade, and supply chain operations. They also develop creative problem-solving abilities by engaging in cross-country collaboration, multicultural teamwork, and interdisciplinary learning in emerging industries. The program ultimately aims to cultivate “glocal” (global + local) experts who can contribute to both the global market and the local community.
