The former candidate for South Korea’s Presidential Election 2007, Mr Moon Kook-Hyun is coming to Cambridge to deliver a special lecture on “From Brawn to Brain: Korean Economy at a Crossroads” this Friday 14th May from 5 pm in the Umney Theatre, Robinson College.
He is widely known as an innovative entrepreneur who oversaw the workplace reform which involved reduction of working hours together with increased productivity.
With this reform, he successfully steered his company away from the 1997 financial crisis in Asia.
A recent opinion poll placed him among the most respected entrepreneurs in Korean history alongside the founders of Hyundai and Samsung groups.
At this lecture, Mr Moon will argue that the South Korean economy or, to put it more broadly, the East Asian developmental model is now at a dead-end and that South Korea’s future lies in the transition from brawn-based economy to knowledge-based ‘smart’ economy.
