Fostering Next-Generation CEOs to Lead Prestigious Long-Established Companies

The Korea Federation of Small and Medium Business (Kbiz) announced on the 24th that it is recruiting students for the '2024 KBIZ Next-Generation CEO School,' an educational program for prospective CEOs and successors preparing for business succession.

Started in 2009, the 'KBIZ Next-Generation CEO School' is designed to cultivate next-generation CEOs who can respond to rapidly changing business environments and lead organizational culture innovation. It consists of three stages: 'Introductory Course - Advanced Course - Growth Course.'

The Introductory Course is a three-day program for prospective business successors to learn basic knowledge related to succession, including business succession support systems, procedures, taxation, and legal affairs. The Advanced Course, held from April 26 to July 12 over 12 weeks on Fridays, is for students who require in-depth learning about business succession and information sharing among successors. It includes sharing business succession cases, establishing succession plans, visiting exemplary succession companies, analyzing management and economic trends, and domestic and international workshops.

The Growth Course is held quarterly on the fourth Thursday of each quarter after completing the Introductory and Advanced Courses. It covers topics such as the latest management trends, current issues related to succession, and information sharing on related and different industries.

Jung In-gwa, Director of the Education Support Office at Kbiz, said, "The Next-Generation CEO School focuses on providing practical solutions and networking opportunities to resolve various difficulties encountered during business succession and to grow as next-generation CEOs through sequential and systematic learning."
