Steven B. McKinney Speaks at Hanyang University

University Provides CEO Special Lecture Series for Students

Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea -- October 15, 2004 – Hanyang University, one of Korea's top institutions of higher learning, continued its successful formula of inviting multinational CEO’s as guest lecturers to offer students a first-hand look into the best practices of international business. Steven B. McKinney, President & Founder of McKinney Consulting, Inc. spoke about career choices in international business and about his background as a teacher, senior business leader at athletic footwear giants Reebok and Adidas, and about his newest experiences as entrepreneur.

Steve McKinney said, " I routinely work with executives on reshaping their careers for the new, more competitive, more international market. Some executives, who have worked in a few large organizations for many years over their career, suddenly find themselves ill prepared to transition to a new company where all the barriers protecting them from global competition have come down. It is refreshing to get a chance to reach out to the next generation of business leaders on these issues when they are just getting ready to make some of the crucial decisions in their lives."

In recognition of the rising importance of the 'global workplace', Hanyang University's Graduate School of International Studies has established this lecture series as a powerful opportunity to introduce students to international business leaders active in the shaping and building of modern Korea. Past CEO Special Lecture Series guest speakers include Dr. Il Young Maing, the CEO of United Technologies, and Ms. Tami Overby, President of Amcham-Korea. Dean Kim, Jong-Ryang stated, “The CEO Series has been quite successful and we desire to continue to offer programs such as this to our students in our quest to make our international business program the best it can be, and the best in Korea.”
