Businesses today operate in an international environment—global markets, suppliers, alliances, and partnerships. The basic principles of management are universal, but they are often interpreted and applied differently in other parts of the world.

This program focuses on the strategic business issues faced by Asian businesses operating in a Pan-Asian or Global context. It explores the fundamentals of general management theory and practice from the United States, with the added benefit of an Asian-Pacific perspective.

Seungjin Whang

Jagdeep and Roshni Singh Professor of Operations, Information and Technology; Codirector of the Stanford-National University of Singapore Executive Program in International Management

Whang's research interest is in supply chain management and the economics of information systems. He studied how demand information may be distorted in a supply chain, and what impacts a secondary market (where retailers exchange excess inventories) has on a supply chain. He has also addressed various pricing issues in a congestion-prone facility. For example, he studied the optimal priority prices in a queueing system where users have their private information about the benefit, time value, and service requirement. Also, he analyzed the menu of fixed-up-to-tariffs structure commonly used for mobile phone service.
