Korean academics visit BDIC

A team of 30 academics from the Korea Productivity Center visited BDIC on July 13, 2010.

Established in 1957, the Korea Productivity Center (KPC) has been designated by the Korean government to support productivity improvements across the country's economy. Over the last five decades KPC has played a pivotal role in increasing productivity in Korea.  KPC has also developed and continues to publish Korea's National Customer Satisfaction Index (NCSI) as well as the country's National Brand Competitiveness Index (NBCI).

The group visited BDIC on its way from Pace University to MIT.  Dan Gordon, the BDIC director said, "The group was especially interested in how BDIC students combine technical areas like computer science with other subjects like business and the arts."

KPC presented BDIC with a ceremonial Korean mask.  BDIC presented the Korean visitors with UMass t-shirts.
