About
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business, pursuing a degree in International Business. My dissertation investigates how local ventures in emerging and developing economies develop scalable business models that are tailored to their environments, achieve local impact, and effectively compete with global entrants, particularly those from developed economies. I will be on the 2024-2025 job market.

Research Interest
Research Interest
I'm interested in how local ventures scale, innovate their business models, and compete with global entrants in the context of emerging and developing countries. My research involves conducting fieldwork to gather unique, firsthand data, and utilizing advanced data analytic tools and methods to process diverse types of unstructured data available for studies on developing countries. Currently, I'm studying a scalable business model of venture firms, with a focus on the on-demand multi-platform business in Southeast Asia as my empirical context. Additionally, I'm exploring the role of funders in supporting ventures in these regions. For more details, please click 'Research' from above panel.

Motivation for Pursuing Research on Entrepreneurship in Emerging Mkt.
Motivation for Pursuing Research on Entrepreneurship in Emerging Mkt.
My interest in this area stems from five years of working experience as a policy consultant before joining the doctoral program. During this time, I conducted multiple fieldwork projects in countries such as Colombia, Moldova, Mexico, and Paraguay, exploring themes like industry-academic cooperation, industrial complex development and fiscal policy. These experiences provided deep insights into the entrepreneurial ecosystems of emerging economies. For instance, in Mexico, I observed how industry-academic cooperation facilitated the commercialization of academic research, resulting in academic spin-offs. In Paraguay, I explored the formation of industry clusters, which spurred regional entrepreneurial activity by creating geographic concentrations of interconnected businesses and institutions. Observing these dynamics on-site inspired me to pursue research that bridges practical fieldwork with academic inquiry in the study of strategic entrepreneurship in emerging economies.

More About Me
More About Me
Besides research, I enjoy making cocktails, a hobby that began as I started appreciating bourbons and several bourbon-based cocktails. This interest has led me to visit distilleries in Kentucky, the heart of the bourbon industry, and beyond. I also occasionally share these experiences on a blog aimed at Korean audiences, who are less familiar with bourbon and Western classic cocktails.
