The recent Korean Wave that has hit Southeast Asia including China and Japan, is expanding its influence to South America as shown by the exportation of education contents. Furthermore, more and more foreign universities from the U.S, Russia, Hong Kong and India, are visiting KAIST College of Business.

KAIST College of Business has been operating the “Doing Business in Korea’ program since 2012 that provides customized education that allows visiting students to encounter business ethics and culture in Korea. Up to 2014, more than 300 students from 7 universities have participated in the program.

Among the visiting universities are the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, King Fahd Univ. of Petroleum and Minerals and St. Mary’s College of California
