THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF GLOBAL MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP(GGML) is located at
Handong Global University, in Pohang, South Korea. Pohang City is part of a tri-city
industrial belt spanning Taegu, Pohang, and Ulsan on the Southeastern coastline
of the Korean peninsula. Handong Global University is a nationally recognized
academic institution, which draws highly competitive students from the top 5%
of all graduating high school students in Korea. Handong’s distinctions include
the first International Law School in Asia, carefully developed programs catered
for students and scholars from developing countries, and innovative professional
graduate programs that provide unique international depth and breath.
The Global Leadership MBA program is another first of its kind in Asia. This
innovative business program seeks to meet the increasing demand for management
business professionals who possess a solid grasp of Information Technologies,
International Business Law, and Global Management. Renown for its advance Internet
and wireless communication products and services, Korea is a hotbed for developing
and testing information technologies. Korea is also the foreground for much of
East Asian diplomacy, negotiations, and economic policy development. Much of
this experience has come from its strategic location between Japan, China, and
North Korea. The successful recovery from the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997,
ongoing tensions with North Korea, and increasing regional trade partnerships
with companies in China and Japan are a few things that makes Korea an ideal
place for the study of International Business and Management in Asia.
An important component to graduate training across all graduate programs at Handong
University is the emphasis on leadership and global stewardship. As a Christ-centered
university, Handong University seeks to shape global leaders who will promote
social good in their workplaces, communities, and in other countries around the
world. To this end, academic training is buttressed by spiritual and character-building
training as well, both of which are embodied by the Handong Honor Code for personal
excellence. In order to be effective leaders, we believe business professionals
must learn the importance of stewardship of people (respect for others, integrity,
and social responsibility), resources (conservation, sustainable development,
and environment conscious), and opportunities (emphasis on research and innovation;
to bring best practices to less-developed countries; bridge the knowledge-divide).
