Daewoo World Management Research Association Launches Vietnam Business Online Course

Vietnam Economy and Culture: 20 Lectures Composed
Cooperation with Local Chamber of Commerce...Inviting Instructors with Field Experience
Private Certification Awarded Upon Completion

Daewoo World Management Research Association (hereinafter referred to as Sekyeongyeon) announced on the 30th that it will open Korea's first online course, "Understanding Vietnam Properly," where one can systematically learn about Vietnamese business.

This course covers the Vietnamese economy, history, future prospects, and points to be cautious about in the local business transaction environment. It also provides local lifestyle information such as politics and diplomacy, culture, national character, and commercial customs based on Vietnam's history and geography. Sekyeongyeon invited experts who have actually conducted or supported business in Vietnam as instructors in cooperation with the Vietnam-Korea Business Association (Kocham).

Upon completion of the course, participants can also receive a private certification. To encourage learners and enhance course completion rates, the certification is conducted as the government-recognized private qualification "Business Practitioner by Country and Industry."

Sekyeongyeon expects the course to be helpful for companies that have already entered or are preparing to enter Vietnam. Currently, about 10,000 domestic companies have expanded into Vietnam.

Daewoo is Korea's first-generation company to enter Vietnam and has devoted significant efforts to Vietnamese business even before the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992. Since 2011, it has been conducting the Global Young Business Manager (GYBM) program and established the "Kim Woo-jung Academy" to support the training of Korean youth as regional experts in Vietnam. Over the past 12 years, Daewoo has produced about 1,000 Vietnam regional experts.

Jang Byung-joo, chairman of Sekyeongyeon, said, "I have often heard from companies that it is difficult to obtain practical and accurate information about Vietnam," and added, "We prepared this course thinking it would greatly help in understanding and approaching the Vietnamese business environment."

Sekyeongyeon is a non-profit corporation established in 2009 by former Daewoo Group executives and employees. Its main projects include training GYBM, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, academic seminars, and operating the World Management Academy. Sekyeongyeon plans to sequentially open courses in Indonesia, Poland, China, and other countries following Vietnam.
