The Korean Management Institute (KMI) at The George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) brings together a wide range of business people, policy makers, academicians, government experts, students, and others who have an interest in U.S. - Korea relations. Their interaction with the Institute through a portfolio of diverse programs – classes, workshops, international exchange, executive education, and research – will enrich their professional experience and contribute to a greater understanding of U.S.-Korea relations.
The Institute’s programs will support efforts to structure an ongoing positive dialogue between the two countries. By virtue of its location in the heart of Washington, D.C., the Institute is positioned to directly influence policy makers, and particularly the large contingent of English speaking Korean media in the Washington D.C. metro area.
In the two years since the U.S.-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) has been in effect, South Korea has become the sixth- largest trading partner of the United States, exports of U.S. manufactured goods to South Korea have increased, South Koreans are buying more U.S. services than ever, and U.S. exports of a wide range of agricultural products have seen significant gains.

Through its research and expertise, KMI will seek to build a platform that promotes US-Korea relations around the world. The Institute is a forum for exploring these issues thoroughly and positively. Institute graduates and participants will be strongly motivated and better informed to meet new and exciting opportunities as it relates to US-South Korea economic relations.
