Join us now to learn how this distinctive program can help transform your innovative insights into positive business and societal impacts through rigorous applied research.

You will hear from Prof. Wooyoung Lim to talk about his research paper "Strategic Thinking Skills: A Key to Collective Economic Success" and how he designed it. In his paper, he argued that strategic thinking is a skill of significant economic importance, distinct from the traditional collection of cognitive and noncognitive skills. People with higher strategic thinking skills may maintain better interpersonal relations and secure higher economic returns. To look into this, a large-scale experiment was conducted in two countries to investigate and explore the linkage between strategic thinking skills and labor market outcomes.
